Yeah..you would have dug it...it was a 280z motor (2.8 liter) with a polished and ported high compression E-31 head...bored .30 over with flat top pistons. I had a phase 2 street cam with a full mallary ignition system. I replaced the dual SU (stock carbs) with side draft webers. It had a full tuned exhaust,header into 2.5 inch pipe, a 24" resonator, and a 2 chamber flow master. It was lumpy at idle and people always though it was a v8. It was lowered with coil overs and 1" 3/4 sways front and rear with solid motor and tranny mounts. Poly bushings and bearings were all race spec and it sat on 50 series yokohamas with 16" BBS wheels. Car was set up for autocross and was wicked quick. I had a 3:9 rearend so 75mph was max speed at 3200 RPM. The car ran with 911's and consistently embarassed the new imports. Fun car. I had 15k into the whole deal. Very very fun and I definitely want to have another one.They are getting tough to find in decent shape now.....Good memories!
