I had a few.

I replaced the roof panel and got rid of the drip rails. 82 flat top piston factory new short block (close out at $375 NOT REBUILT, brand new) under a N42 head, 200 psi compression compared to 160 stock. .75 overdrive 82 zx 5 speed tranny. Started out with a 3.54 diff, later a .3.90. NX buckets and welded in roll bar. 82 turbo wheels (OE covered by insurance if stolen). Adjustable mixture using the water temp circuit and a dash mounted rheostat. Increased spring tension in the air flow meter flap. The 76 came factory 49 state version with no catalytic converter and no egr circuit.
30-60-90-120-150 redline in the 5 gears. All new bearings in the tranny and a factory new propshaft. Converted the rear brakes to zx discs with the emergency brake cables reversed and calipers in front. Motorsport aero kit.
Tag was THE ZMAN.
