Got it cheap with 165k miles, just clicked over 170 and loving it. Yeah my wheel choice is unoriginal but for the price and look and Tirerack ease... And those are 255/40-17 Continental Extremecontact DW.
Came to this car through hot rods, a few Jeeps, too many early water cooled VWs and a few odds and ends for daily drivers. My job keeps me in a basic car so the ZHP is just a "when I want to" ride... So far just cleaning up the interior and audio stuff. Did the cooling system, belts, front brakes and tune up basics. It's run like a champ pretty much though.
Plans? Suspension bushings and such as needed. Maybe better pads and rotors soon. Might do coilovers but so far I'm enjoying a more usable ride height and the stock damper/spring is so damn capable. Clutch will be soon. Maybe even LSD if I'm feeling frisky. Oh and quite a lot of little dings and dents and scratches. But I might just leave those alone and not worry too much. I like to drive it more then stare at it.
Anyway, hello and thanks for having me. Hope I can contribute something along the way here!
Thomas
