finally picked up my Z! - 06-15-2009, 01:11 AM

obligatory pics...




















it was a 24 hr drive each way so we split it up, 2 days down, and then it ended up being about 3 days back, we spun a bearing on our tow vehicle half way back to ny.

i'm very happy, my main complaint is the seats though, the bottoms of the seats are just flat and have no support. any recommendations for new ones?

Old school turbo kit, or OEM turbo? That charge pipe/BOV is odd looking.

it's an old school aftermarket setup from BAE, the BOV looking thing built into the end of it is actually the boost controller, or so i'm told. there is no wastegate on the system.

it is very odd, but i guess that's how it was done in the late 70's.
