if you want something cheap and fast get a 81-83 ZX Turbo my first car was a 81 280ZX Turbo I picked it up for 1000 bucks put about 100 bucks into mods "K&N Cone Filter/PVC piping and some hoses to hook up the intercooler I pulled from a conquest that was sitting on the side of the road
anywho I ran 14PSI for a good 6-8 months then started to run out of time I had 2 cars 2 bikes 1 extra engine/trans "Vette 350" anywho I sold her after maryland smog started being a pain in my butt and then 2 weeks later the guy I sold it to blew it up =`( sniff sniff my baby sniff
I now have one car Im putting all my time and money into my 95 Civic coupe I have 4000K into it so far engine swap bolt ons and its still not as fast as my datsun in about 3-4 weeks I will have my FMax turbo kit I can't wait =)
anywho I put almost no money into the car and could spank mustangs/hondas/mitsus/ hehehe I loved that car =) if only I had some slicks and a RRFPR I could have droped into the low 13s
anywho no matter what Z car you get the best place to go is
www.zcar.com nothing else comes close not even this board
you will find people with 500+ BHP 2.8s and GNZs and all kinds of other goodies =)
have fun on your search
