hello everyone first post here, over the weekend i found a 88 turbo zx 5-speed, its my friends friend..lol well anyway its got t-tops, 200,000 miles which i know is alot but wow does this thing run like a top, the car overall has a good body very straight, found 2 small dents from mab a door or something hard to see tho, has bout 2 spots of surface rust size of penny, and the paint is decent, interior needs some attention but wont take much to get it looking alot better, some of the fabric needs restuck in some places like by the t-tops has the adjustable suspension when i put the switch on firm while sitting i did notice the alternator kick down a bit so it must be working, needs a window motor, other lil things but is completey driveable now
anyway he wants $1000 for it, think i;m gonna pick it up this weekend
that a good deal,????? from what i've seen them go for i thought it was
Another way to check the adjustable suspension , at least in the back , is to remove both interior fender covers , turn the key on , and move the adjustment switch around. It must be very quiet while you do this , but you should be able to hear a small Zzzzzt Zzzzt from both sides as you turn the adjustment switch to each position. Listening under the hood will require 2 people , one to turn the switch and one to listen at each side.

heck you don't even need to check the suspension. If it is the original suspension at 200K miles it was dead 130K miles ago.
Nah , all of mine worked at 160,000 , but one strut each on opposite sides and ends was worn out. But a Tokico or Bilstein swap might be in order anyway. Better performance.....

ya when i drove it i fell in love with it, one of the fastest cars i've been in i think, should that motor hold up ok with that kinda mileage, from what i heard the turbo has been rebuilt, but like if the pistons and rings are all factory, wouldnt really want to have to rebuild the whole motor, only if more speed was needed
i took off from a stop sign, gave it all out hell and threw it into second the back end just breaks loose for a good 20ft prob and starts getting sideways, i bout cried, cause i was so happy haha
future mods already planned, blow off valve and boost controller

How about intake and exhaust first. Also go to Z31.com and look at the modifications page it will have quite abit of insight for you. BOVs don't add performance and if you don't recirculate it you will be losing performance. A boost controller will be a good idea but just be careful if you run to much no matter how good the engines condition is in you can destroy it.

its already got a open filter stuck on the factory intake system, and has a straight pipe from the cat, i like the sound so far, and i figured an intercooler never hurts eitheir i'm gonna try to just find a factory intercooler for now i think off of w/e i can find, after i buy this i'm broke, for prob a month or so lol o well

No factory IC on the Z31s. There are suitable replacements , such as from a Volvo or a Starion , or any other turbo car from the 80s.......
