Bad points, the develop negative camber in the rear susp mainly cause by the lower control arms "bending" with age, The only reasonabl;e fix is slotting the rear subframe to allow adjustment. The MAS is delicate and can be ruined easily causing weird running problems. Replacing the plugs isn't fun either. The turbo ones don't seem to have any more problems than the non-turbo models so that isn't a problem. http://atlantaracing.tripod.com/faq300.htm -- Steve http://www.atlantaracing.com > > i am looking at buying an 86 300zx turbo with t-tops. i was wondering > > what u can tell me about it? its ups an downs [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > lower control arms "bending" with age, The only reasonabl;e fix is slotting > the rear subframe to allow adjustment. Can't just replace the lower control arms? Guessing they arn't made anymore... > The MAS is delicate and can be ruined easily causing weird running > problems. Replacing the plugs isn't fun either.

I thought the plugs were pretty easy, course I have small hands. >> > i am looking at buying an 86 300zx turbo with t-tops. i was wondering >> > what u can tell me about it? its ups an downs [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Can't just replace the lower control arms? Sure, they run about $800 installed each side the last time I checked. Used are a joke as they are going to be just as bad or worse.  SignatureSteve http://www.atlantaracing.com |
