I would look for a different mechanic or learn how to do it yourself. This work is really pretty simple as far as mechanic work goes...

There should be no need to remove the thermostat. You still don't know how hot it actually got...

I agree your mechanic sounds like a very rude person...

Only by the gauge!! How do you know the gauge is correct? After making this mod there could be an air bubble or the coolant could be low. Did you physically touch the hoses to see if they were hot? Did you have fuel issues when the gauge said it was hot? You may have more than one issue...

Did you check the hoses to see if the car was actually that hot?! Did the mechanic properly burp the system? Did he even test it? Did the temp come down after it went to the red? Did the car stall after making the modification? How do you know it didn't help the fuel problem????

I agree scam I believe that car had pictures here a while back in a thread...

The latest response "I am a collector man I know what's worth money."

My email interaction with the seller. Not really serious in my opinion! Pretty difficult to come in person from 3000 miles away. How do you know what my definition of a low number car is? C On 12/17/2016 6:39 PM, craigslist 5903328070 wrote:

Yeah.....No. That was pretty harsh to the casting

Oh, I understand but like Jim I was thinking of Nix240z. If he were to decide to do it I am confident he would get as close as possible to the original rubber density. He's a little OCD like that...I believe that Zcardepot and MSA tend to be pretty diligent too Steve has always been hesitant to make parts that could have litigation associated with them, but this part should have limited risks since the bolts are really the insurance factor

yes the OE's are NLA...Wish we could convince a vendor to reproduce this part...

Although almost every decent running 350 has double the horsepower and gobs of torque compared to the original engine, some have triple. At some point it becomes difficult to transfer excess horsepower to the ground with out lots of work...

I understand the 73's have some unique things about them that can make them less desirable, but there are some things about them that I like. They have delay wipers, they are the only year and I assume they have one of the most sorted electrical systems as opposed to the early cars... As for the emissions, it's gone on almost every Z I ever see here. I would run SU's or triples anyway so it doesn't matter to me what it had originally... I really like that Silver car ^^^ the owners ok too...

Jeff, What's that a Celica chasing you? Must be moving along to have the inside rear tire off the ground...

Wow!! We are aggressive aren't we?

It's minor surgery!!!! Go ahead and try it....

That looks great, and no major modifications

That cars been sitting a while!! The good news is it's probably not going to walk off now....

It's good you figured it out I use a weldable rattle can primer for those areas and then come back and use frame coating with the nozzles. Like the pro at the paint store told me, the car lasted 40 years. I am doing way more than the factory did. Should outlast me and my kids!

Did you figure out the difference while you were drinking?

Wheee Did you figure it out?

It is not a terribly simple thing to put a stock turbo on it. You can do it fast or cheap but you will end up trashing your engine...there are a lot of considerations when doing forced induction... I suggest you drive it for a while and make sure it all works well, them decide which way you want to go. If the car is not 100% when you decide to go turbo it will only magnify those problems

Always try to communicate with the seller through Ebay, It helps when making a claim

Thanks Careless. I thought that might be the case but didn't want to assume

Which ones specifically?
