Possibly my new car
Monday, May 03, 2010 11:58 AM
2000 Z24 Vert

this could potentially be my new car in the coming weeks, it will immediately be getting the Sunfire front, IF sides, and LSS rear, that is if the bank gets back to me with good news..

any isues with this year of vert i should be aware of or things to look for before committing to buying the car?

they're asking 4 but they said they'd take 350 and i'm only few hours away and i've been dying for a vert so anything under 5k i'm happy with as long as its in good order

Forget the Sunfire front, just get an LSS front lip and some amber corners. The 00-02 Cavy front is the best looking IMO... I want to swap my front end to that....
but convertible FTW!

my z has had the engine replaced once, rebuilt once, and less than 3k miles after the rebuild is knocking again.

Loved my 2.4...although it did start knocking around 178,000 miles



Not unintentionally accelerating since 2009!!!!

it'll be alright, i'm probably going to baby this one, the por 2.2 has seen more abuse than any engine should in my hands.. i did have it since i was 15 after all.. 5 years of growing up when F&F was cool and double clutching was right (lol) so the vert should be alright now that i've grown out of that stage

i've yet to see anybody do a vert with the ls lips. i wanted to do it to the vert my wife had for a short time but had too many problems with the car and had to get rid of it.

Me either! And as I mentioned, I want to do mine SOOO bad. Either LSS or WW front lip. And maybe paint the car silver or indigo. I think that would be sick.

OT, but this would be fail, IMO. You've got the best factory front end ever made on the 3rd Gen. The only way to improve on it would be a lip, or an IF bumper, and I can still never decide if the 95-99 Z bumper or the IF bumper is sexier.

Also, black is sexy. Indigo or silver is nice, but you should never take a clean black car and paint it another color.

i aim to keep the car black if i get it , cuz black with my 19's would be badass IMO

Oh oh, My black Z24 vert had a Wings West Type-W kit!







There's a visual for that, though I think a vert Cavfire would be nice too...

Good job man on the vert. I just bought my girl a 96 for 500. Spun a rod bearing on it too, so seems to be a trend with these motors and high mileage. I would also keep a eye on the water pump. I had a 98 malibu with the same engine, and when i junked it (rear ended and totaled) it had about 80,000 miles on it, and it was running really good. My girls vert had 138,000 miles on it, and it spun a bearing. Other then that, have fun and good job!! It is nice to have a done up coupe but its nicer to have a vert!! Goodluck!!!

well, i got some more pics from the owner of the interior and under the hood, cars completely stock except a new cd player, under the hood will need some clean up and modifying to make it pretty again but otherwise all seems like the car is in mint shape, now it's just up to the bank
