No problem my guy! I have to say it’s pretty durable! Knocked it off the work bench to meet a concrete floor and thankfully it survived 😬

Thanks for the video, just about to under take this and couldn't figure out why speedway had that "handle" off the mount.

Yeah I did a ls swap on my zx. I made a crazy header that wrapped around the steering box. I'm gonna change it soon to a Manuel rack so it will look cleaner. Plus my steering box leaks even though I have the weakest pump I can fine. Never leaked before.

@@andrewlechner8771 I’ve been doing some research on how I’m going to run my accessories and the power steering pump is one of my concerns 😬. I’m hopeful the flowtech headers I ordered might work but worst case scenario I’m going to try and swap in a Miata or a 240-280z rack 🤷♂️. Thanks for the insight and let me know what ends up working for you!

How and where can i find a 280zx.... And how much will it cost considering that i am looking just for a rolling shell...?
@likablemichael 3 жыл бұрын
I would check Craigslist, offer up, and Facebook market place. As far as price goes it just depends on how decent the car is in and what part of the country you live in. My best guess is that you could find a shell as cheap as $500 all the way up to $1500 depending on the overall condition of the car 🤷♂️

Is that 1/4in plate ??
@likablemichael 8 ай бұрын
It's 1/2" which is overkill. 1/4" would probably work but I would go with 3/8" if I were to build it again.
