Last Oldsmobile rolls off the line today
simple market sales they weren't selling enough, i have no beef with olds but gm as well as ford needs to take the imports as a whole as more of a threat if they expect to compete in todays car market and i mean truck as well, never owned a gm product mostly toyota nissan and honda with german in between but i find very little need to shop an american built < as they say > product , lack of style quality and desire to excite the consumer will be the noose that tightens the neck of gm, it seems they are 5-7 years behind most in style and form , but just my 2 cents

Maybe a dumb question, but...

Tools
I have purchased very nice snap on and matco as well as sears pro line , but either way if you lose or misplace or lend it out to friend or family its still not there , I started getting some of my tools at harbor frieght , I wish they sold just 10 , 12 and 14 mm sockets and a 5 pack of philips , I think a good set of tool is a wise investment but an expensive set < with the exception of specialty tools > are just more money just my 2 pennies ,

How much did you pay for your Z?
First z was a 72 bought in 87 for 2600 sold for 3900 , put in probably easily 6-7 grand in it , yes not a good investment , had a 71 in 94 bought for 550 and sold for 1200 decided it wasn't for me , too much body work but made some $ on it , last one and present <oct 2003 > i saw in the paper for 900 went and saw it offered him 450 and waited and sure enough he called , its in pretty good condition but i stripped everything that might be bad and replaced or rebuilt it, have most of a 54 and e31 waiting to go into it , easily have 1-2 g in it and untold amount of time , my brother picked up his 260 in a upstairs garage in a downtown building for 500 with no tranny but a truck load of parts , now runs like a raped ape as he so eloquiently puts it , but alot of time and good family time working on it family bonding to hell with monopoly buy a z and get the family together to cuss and swear at 30 year old bolts that don't budge

16X7 Riken wheels

16X7 Riken wheels
the 750 is very reasonable for rikens in 16 inch , without tires , they were not made by enkei but close to the western wheel mesh design , the enkei 32 series which had a flat iside around the lugs was similar , there are a few styles from the mid 80's to late 90s like that but hard to find , to give you an example the ssr reverse mesh wheel in 16 or 17 which is similar is 585-665 roughly per wheel , another maker was epsilion , very similar in style and made in the 4 on 4.5 in a 16 rim:disappoin

Hyundai joins Toyota, Honda atop quality list
would never put hyundai with the likes of honda toyota or nissan , i am sure they are getting better , but in my opion no matter how much you polish a turd its still a turd , i have seen other articles which aren't the same but i am sure they all use diffrent formulas , gotta say if the tiburon was made by someone else i might buy one ,

need a shot of encouragement
We all feel your pain I am sure but , its rare to find one without some issues , either you get one where the guy put all the money in fixing all the 30 year old car probs and you get better end but pay for it in the price and yet still wonder if they are done right or kinda pay as you go . I would recommend replacing your fuse box asap, alot of the wiring issues are from the build up of corrostion on the contacts there in raising the resisitance and causing those issues. But I doubt you would find another euro car as nice as your or maybe ever . I would take comfort knowing the thing you have done hopefully won't have to be fixed in hopefully another 30 years or such . Glad to see you decided to see a Z shrink before leaving her . Stick with her I regretably did what you were considering and wish I hadn't . Enjoy the ride

engine
if you search the threads for storage or sitting , you will find numerous list of things to check before you turn the key but , right off start with checking fuels , oil , gas , water and check the cylinders to make sure they do not have any sign of rust if any water got in it would be a big prob , but there are lots of threads about bringing cars back after sitting for several years , I would first drain the gas tank :classic: , just to be sure

any z licence plate ideas?
I believe hs30 is the members name that typed it but not sure , I am probably describing it wrong , maybe it was the translation for zcar , it just seemed diffrent and was gonna get a tag for my z with it on it and it also is very much how you interperate the words , I will keep searching
