Pics of my 85Z which I converted to turbo. Started with a low milage JDM turbo W series engine with T3 turbo rebuilt by Dave at AZ Turbo. 88T tranny and suspension with SS springs. Certified Muffler 3 inch turbo back exhaust kit. Wheels are Konig Beast 17X8 with a 24mm offset. Body kit by Wing West I think. Also did the Z32 brake upgrade. Working on getting a paint job.

Ok I'll chime in, for what it's worth. Rolling Eyes

Diggin the blue under your hood. What color & product did you use? The yellow is a nice offset.
I also like the rims! Could you share info about them?

[quote="BigEZ"] Wheels are Konig Beast 17X8 with a 24mm offset.

Thank you guys for the compliments been working this car for sometime now and loving every minute of it. Long way to go still. I will be repainting it in silver gray like the engine bay.
the wheels i puchased a few years ago. They are Konig Five-O actually made for the Mustang. The are 17 X 8 with a 24mm offset, which makes them a direct bolt on.

Tight! You know the five lug wheels off the older mustangs (unsure of the exact year) will fit the five lug z31s... Same with the four lug mustang wheels.

Looks great. Engine bay is a beaut. Did you put on the body kit? Considering that for my 85 na. Looks like you have an 86 bumper though?

I put on the body kit. It is the Wings West kit that MSA sells. I got it in piece meal from several people, junk yard etc. Came out pretty nice. No it is the stock 85 front end. I just posted similar sideskirts in the for sale section that fits the 84-85 2+2.

Very nice! The shiny, clean engine bay and the faded gold exterior are night and day, lol. Can't wait to see it with a decent coat of paint.
