Ss Ftw!

After a little inner fender surgery, the tires clear on the bump stops when straight. Obviously they don't clear at steering lock, but I don't know how you would bottom the car out completely at steering lock... Couple pics here show how much room I added by rolling the lip and slightly tweaking it out in relation to the stock inner fender. Still have to finish closing it in, and adding a rail to the outer so the inner can bolt to it. It might be a little ugly, but isn't visible. Haven't decided if I will weld that part, or maybe use the 3M panel bond to keep from warping anything.

Also installed my Aerocatch hood pins and a removable tow hook to keep from wrecking the front air dam.

Nice 80s Z. Cant wait to see more on this ride good work.

Finally got back on the car recently. In mockup mode now getting some things sorted out. Plasma cut a plate for the firewall and studded for the 3rd-gen column and stock gas pedal. Keeping visible fasteners to a minimum.

Got my Holley HP from Keith at CustomWorks and getting the wire routing planned.

Also doing a little sheet metal work deleting the heater box and fabbing a better 6spd hump to replace the cobbed hole from when I was like 19.

My SpinTechs will be here shortly, so I can finalize the floor mockup and get this thing on a buddy's rotisserie.

Did you happen to buy this EFI set up from JCG??? It looks like an old one of mine....

Took this picture of it in 2003 !!!

JCG sold it to another shop and I got it from them, so yes, it's the same one. 36lb injectors right?

I actually sold some of that stuff off and I'm using Holley software now...so it's all been around the block quite a bit. haha

The minute I saw your picture posted up I knew it was my old one...

It's made the rounds! Started life at Kinsler in Michigan... to Seattle... To So Cal... to somewhere else... to you in New York...

I finally gave up on the Accel Dual Sync distributors to run sequential. I was "too early" on their stuff and those distributors caused me nothing but issues. System ran much better in batch mode.

So you had both, ok. It came with two, and also two computers for some reason. I'm pretty familiar with EFI and I didn't find it very user-friendly at all. Two different guys on thirdgen bought the manifold & throttle body. I'm using an old TBI truck distributor I had around for now, maybe it will stay that way? haha Sequential would be nice, you do notice a little difference in the idle...at least I did on my MPFI vs SFI Beretta.

I believe in having "inventory"..... and spares... I'm not the "budget" guy. Back in the day it was hard to find parts for EFI (or anyone that knew anything about anything for that matter). I probably still have parts and pieces for that thing... I know I still have some of the blue anodized linkage.. etc. If parts are uncommon - I buy TWO....

I switched that throttle body set up for an 8 stack... and I swapped out the Accel crap at the first chance I got. That stuff ran okay - but there was (Might still be) the worst supported stuff in the history of man. If you wanted to know something - you had to post it in a tech forum - and then keep checking back to see if they bothered to respond.
