Motegi 17 X 7 wheels plus adapters, riding on Pirelli P-7000s - A great performing tire. You also aill find a set of Toyota 4-piston calipers on the front end. I have the original disc brakes and rotors that came with the car. -
The long view of the engine - -
Front vie- since this shot was taken, I have rubbed out the car several more times, even wet-sanded to bring a better reflection. I also put new suspension on- Tokiko adjustables up front, tokiko sports in the back, MSA springs, all new poly up front, replaced all of the ball joints. -
Looking in on the heart of the beast- Since this photo was taken, I have replaced the fuel line - it now runs around the motor, keeping the fuel cooler. -
1977 L28 motor and 5 speed trans- Beautifully detailed- No leaks, new timing chain, new plugs and wires, recent starter, great alternator, fluids changed regularly 5 speed still shifts like she means it. - what you don't see- 3.93 gears, a spare set of 3.33 gears hidden from view is an oil cooler to keep her temper I also have a #s matching L24 4spd- with a bad water pump- no carbs (it came with dual Webers) -
Better shot of the key areas in the engine bay- Minor surface rust under the battery tray form the previous owner- He had an old battery that broke on him- SUPER SOLID! otherwise I would never have bought it. (The paint flaked off) I could toch it up, but I would not want to hide anything -
Moments before receiving the engine she was cleaned and detailed - lotsa spit and shine Yes, that is the original factory red! -

I spend a lot of time behind a camera, and I get some unique results. I am mainly interested in industrial photography. I have tons of pictures of trucks, cars and heavy machinery. -
I can't tell you how great these carbs are to work on. They are pretty simple for the most part, with a sound that will turn heads. I have the Dellorto 40mm carbs on my 70 240 (L28) mated to a TWM intake manifold. I was skeptical about the carbs when I fist got them, but I found that they were easier to adjust and more reliable than all of the other carbs. I am by no means an expert on carbs, so I was pretty amazed that they were as easy to rebuild as people said. I am still working on the art of tuning, but they are balanced and they run like hell. You can purchase the carb rebuild kits from CB performance (Superformance) out of California. This shop is fantastic. YOu can get just about anything you need. Here's a pic of the dells on my ride: <http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=9419&password=&sort=7&thecat=500> Good Luck! Dan Zimmermann

The car will be repainted red, as factory as possible, with a special pearl in the clearcoat to give it a WICKED flop. As for the S/N- I have to go check. The car is a late 70. built date of 12/70. One could almost say it is an early 71-but nothing electronically compatable. Brakes are different too, which has made it a pain in the #$$.. The car originally came with Libras, but I had these from my other car, and well they just look tasty. Dan -
Somehow I have 2 of these. This one is by far nicer. -

71 NOS hinge stuff. I have no need for it. My hinges are perfect on my new car. No damage- heck they aren't even worn in yet -
backside of the alternator. I cleaned this thing thoroughly. Kinda wish I could use it. -
70 240 Z alternator removed and setailed from my L24. Works as good as it looks. -
