This is my Z28 that has been a constant project for the past 6 years

Welcome! Nice cars there. I like the little Mazda rx in the garage. Is that a 2 or a 3?

I had a rx 4 with a 13b years ago. Lots of fun.

Whats the scoop on your camaro?

I'd dare to say it's a RX3...?
And an original Z28 scoop...?

Anyway, nice garage! Ship me that Stingray, I'll finish it for you!

Thanks for the welcome! The Camaro is on QA-1 coilovers, all poly bushings, autometer full gauge setup, 5-speed, etc.

The white Mazda is a '71 R-100, belongs to a friend who also owns a '73 RX-2. He is a big Mazda guy, wears off on me sometimes lol

By "scoop" I meant "what's the info or set up" on the Z.
I can see how that was confusing, sorry.

What are the plans for the 240? Going drifting with a LS motor?

I might do a few drift events next year. It currently has a turbo sr20det in it, makes about 220whp which is all I need right now. Hopefully it is as reliable as it is supposed to be

220 is not bad at all. At that level the engine internals are not being too stressed. As long as it's put together right and with decent hardware it should be very reliable. How much boost at the current level?

Yeah, I don't like you anymore (I was going to make that suggestion too!)

The ZeeTwentyEight looks really cool! I'd like to see some videos of it running.
