Top Tier Tri-z - REINCARNATED

[honda250sx]

Well after about 8 hrs to and fro travel and one seriously packed chevy equinox, I rolled into south charlotte,nc where i am working currently with something i have always wanted. I ended up getting this tri-z from a new member to the boards BadPredator04, Dave from atlanta,ga. We had to dissassemble her in order to sneak it into my small suv. It was overall a pleasure to deal with Dave. I paid an extremely fair price for it and got a bunch of spare parts. Overall it runs really well and is strong. Great compression and solid trans. I cant wait to start on this project when i get back to ny in october. From now till then i will be building an inventory for the build. Look forward to your guys questions and input along the way.

are you going to ride around with that for the next three months in your car?

[honda250sx]

Haha, no. I have a garage in my apartment complex where she resides now.

Congrats! I just picked up an 85 tecate on thursday.How much did you end up paying for it I know he had it advertised on craigslist for $700.00

[honda250sx]

It was close to that. Super nice guy to say the least.He paid alot more for it just a few years ago and sunk some money into and just wanted to get rid of it. He was getting married and had to many toys. I was stoked to get it! Just like any 21 yr old machine it needs some serious love. But with guys like sprock and ronnie spitting out all kinds of awesome stuff how can you help but not want to build a tri-z these days.

Love to see - you put it in the back of your Luxury SUV !

Did your leather seats get ripped ?

[ColeTrickle]

glad to see another Tri-Z with a twist throttle, the only way to go IMO! Have fun getting her minted out!

[honda250sx]

Lmfao luxury. Shes just a work vehicle. Work pays for her to see the road. No leather seats were hurt in this move. They smell of super techniplate though! The twist throttle is whooped. Ex-owner did include a damn near new thumb throttle though and new cable. It was a highlight getting her in there.

On the way back to carolina i got pulled over in south carolina for a 89 in 60. Trooper was a young guy and he was like God'damn a tri-z, went on to tell me a story about having one as a kid. Ask where i got it and where i was going. Called me a yankee and told me to slow the hell down and to have fun with it! Phewwwwwwwww.
