Anyone in Kansas City?

[winstonsmith]

I recently bought a 78 Z and would like to find others in the Kansas City area that know a lot about working on these cars. The only car I've ever done any work on is my Pulsar and I've only done simple stuff. I'm still fairly new at working on cars. Anyway my Z will need some work and I'd rather find someone who knows how to do it and will let me help them so I can learn. I'd much rather pay an individual who knows all about these cars instead of taking it to a shop where I can't help them do it plus get charged a fortune. I live in Olathe, KS actually so if you live near there that's even better. Right now the only major thing I think the car needs is likely rear wheel bearings. I don't know for certain if the car actually needs them or not. Maybe the car is just loud back there normally? Anyway I have the bearings but that's a job I can't tackle on my own. I never done bearing replacement on a rear wheel drive car before. The car may need other work as well which is why I'd like to have a knowledgeable z car owner look it over with me. Anyone near Olathe, Kansas?

Yes it scares many indeed! When they see the Pulsar pull up next to them at the stop light they know they're about to get smoked...by every single ounce of that mighty 70 horse power! ! I just may have the fastest riding lawnmower around. All hail the mighty e16!

Darn double post. I forgot to put in the attachment.

I had on of those last year. I bought it from the auction for $300 and sold it a week and a half later for $1000! All I did to is was clean it up, fix a couple of electrical gremlins, properly route the vacuum hoses, and it passed smog on the first attempt. It's a 1984, 5 speed, and it was, well, slow.

Welcome to the club!

My brother has a 1991 model EXA which is slightly less ugly and came with the CA18DE so it's slightly less slow too. Very nice gearbox I thought.

Anyone? I'm now having electrical problems as well. If anyone in the Kansas City area knows how to work on these cars as well as electrical work please let me know. My turn signals, head lights and dash lights don't work and I can't figure out why.
