Avenger1647545502 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Know if or when the timing belt has been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zx2guy19 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 These are non-interference by the way. I've owned 32 ZX2's and the manuals on them are incorrect. They list them as an interference engine and they aren't. I've replaced 10+ timing belts on these and they are completely fine after start up, even if they broke or skipped a tooth.

Zx2guy19 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Seriously? Why? Flipped them for 5 years and DD'd about 10 of them since I was 15. I'd buy them on Craigslist and flip them...they're easy as shit to work on and awesome daily's...this was mostly when gas was $4+ per gallon. I also had the 2nd highest HP ZX2 in the world (trust me, it doesn't sound as fun as it actually was)...326whp/296wtq in a 2100 lb car. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1334692#post1334692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the ZX2 and I had an ACR Neon. Light bolt ons on each. Both performed surprisingly well against similar cars of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
