Jzz30.com keychain


New custom interior. I have a matching seat for the passenger that hasn't been installed.

My car is an automatic, so I can't tell you about signs of failure. I've been around here long enough to see this issue pop up often enough. .

Good to know - I might buy a pedal assembly to be ready.

BTW - Love that Recaro seat!

Had the Z30 Concepts under carriage splash shields installed.

Went with the black anodized versions. Had to attach the front shield to the aftermarket bumper cover but other than that a good fit.




Out with “old” ones....

I think you probably forgot to install the pedal bushing maybe?

The splash shields look great! The powdercoated black was a nice choice!

Default Relocated battery to the trunk

I didn’t think it was a good idea to place the car battery in the amp location and having it bolted down to the sheet metal.
I bolted a steel mounting tray to the frame instead.
When I try and move the battery the whole car moves

Steel mounting tray bolted to the frame

I rinsed it off. I may try to finish running the wires for my sound system this week.

mines started squeaking at around 250k. i wd40'd everything i could but it persisted and gradually went away. i inspected the failure and it split at the hole where the master cylinder clevis connects.

thanks again, got it in.

Perfect - I need to get one of those for mine too, just to be ready, even though mine is nowhere near 250k miles it is going to be 27 years old soon and a few other parts have worn out, although not many.


Not sure that my SC300 has ever said Hi here on he forum - so Hi everyone interested in SCs and Soarers.

Car is under the knife right now. Got new tires, replaced hardware on my rear wheels, polished and ceramic coated all surfaces, and freshly sealed them back together. Pulling bumpers off for repair/paint while I replace all arms. I foreshadow the height of the car to change when I replace all arms, so I'll have to readjust all four corners. Will also have to get creative with how I tighten the control arm bolts under load.

Cheers

^ Looking good man! I've sat my car up on jack stands, and then used the jack to lift the hub up (or two at a time at each end of the car) in order to tighten the control arm bolts.
