I just hate the gas pedal on the Z's..... that has to be the WORST e-throttle I've ever felt.



I plan on upgrading the headlights, taillights, 3 pt seatbelts (ditch the lap belts), convert it to electronic ignition (screw points)..... nothing major, just stuff to make it better/safer.... its got some aftermarket wheels, I'd like to find some originals

hm.. might have been fixed now?

electric ignition agreed.. points works great if you are running a racing engine since it keeps generating more power up the RPM's.. just not practical with new technology available now.

Altezza headlights? You can just change bulbs then.

Original wheels = hard to find. maybe replicas though

It wasn't that much better, something like 13/18. You don't buy a truck or car like that if you're worried about a gas guzzler tax.
