What's up fellas, I just picked up my 03 ZHP this weekend and I absolutely love it. I've got a little bodywork to do to it and I've got a slightly suspicious T/O bearing so I'm going to be putting a clutch in it ASAP. My body guy actually suggested possibly bringing the rear fenders out an inch and going with 265's since there is a spot on one of the fenders where they had been rolled. It's a halogen car with aftermarket assemblies and the high beams only work with flash to pass, so I need to address that and a couple other knick knack things to bring it to a 10. Sorry about the potato quality pic, but that was after my first proper drive out in the country at some redneck gas station.

Welcome aboard. Pretty car. Where are you located? That looks like a VA ABC store in the background!

Shawn,

This was the sedan that was for sale in Mechanicsville, VA.

Glad to hear a local picked it up. Once you fix the body on it, it will be a nice zhp.

Congrats. The t/o bearing is likely good and it is just the normal rattle of the transmission... I put new clutch kit with the bearing and a brand new stock flywheel and it had the same exact sound.

Welcome to the Mafia. Very nice car. Your TO bearing may be OK.

Mine did that when I first got it, just a little over 3 years ago, and I babied the clutch for a while. Now the noise is gone (unless I let go of the clutch super fast at idle).

Nice looking car. Suspension looks to be lowered. What form of lowering does it have?

You as well dude, and I appreciate it. Actually had another ZHP guy come in yesterday so I guess there are at least 3 of us around these parts.

Did you ask him if he was aware of the Mafia?
