Heading out to the highway

I have a guy that can do it right. I did my '85 redone in Alcantara (suede) for 5 bills. Looks pristine. There are lots of things that can be DIY for less than you might think. The Z is holding it's own. Aside from blowing the Koni sports in a year (should have gone with coil overs DUH) and going from Dinan to H&R springs the thing performes great. I just put Bilstein Sports and H&R springs on the 5 and it handles much much better. I need to lower the back perches cuz I almost lost the rear a few times in Austin. That plus a short shift N a few other goodies make it a nice sport daily driver.

Sounds nice. I don't need fancy material. Wouldn't mind just having the stock headliner properly installed. I think the headliner is 140 from VW. Sounds like the old 5 is pretty nice. I'd love one of the new 1 series models. You know i find myself wanting just about every car around. I need to really stop wanting them all. You'll have to take a look at my 66 sometime.

Would love to! My uncle runs a shop in Detroit where he has claimed #1 in NHRA drag competitions. He has a dyno at his shop and has offered to do my Z for free. The ol 5 is kickin for it's age. It's still an old car - no skid control, dynamic control, but its fun! I love the old muscle beasts.......cant be beat in my book.
