I'm looking for a 4bbl manifold for an L28, and possibly a whole setup if anyone has got one up for grabs. I get email to my phone so I'll respond quick. Let me know what you've got Thanks, Chris Townsley.chris@gmail.com

http://montana.craigslist.org/cto/1588019330.html Is this the same body kit as the purple car posted above?

I've got a question but dont know the answer... If you had a space ship that could travel at the speed of light, and you turned it down just a notch then shined a flash light straight ahead, would you have a light saber?

Is this owned by a user here? Anyone have any more info on it?

Wow, that's probably the best looking z31 I've ever seen... Any more info on this car? Thanks, Chris

I also think you should keep it... I've always been a huge fan of your car and your comment of turbos really has me interested. Besides, didn't you just land a great job? It seems like a whole new project would take as much time and devotion as work would, one of the two would obviously have to take a back seat... Just drive it and keep a smile on your face

I know what ya mean, except we call it the vatozone here in San Antonio. It seems they only stock parts that are "chrome" plated and use double stick tape to install. Everything else is "special order". I stick to Advance and Napa...

Ok, so I've got an 06 350z base model with an open diff. I'm thinking of getting a quaife atb unit, from what I've read they're the most durable and reliable units you can get. I called slowboy racing and they quoted me 1399.00 out the door including overnight shipping (not too bad compared to other places). Question is, should I get new carrier bearings and ring gear bolts or just try to re-use the ones I've got? I dont know if the bolts are torque to yield or not, and how easy/hard it would be to salvage the old bearings. Also, has anyone else done this install and have a few pointers/tips to give out? Any help would be great Thanks, Chris

The Lexus is a beast man, I've honestly never been in a car so fast... If you do decide to get rid of it, make sure you give me a ride with the race gas first Oh, and pictures too please

I used this link to install cams on my SR20, everything turned out fine... I think you'll be ok with yours, mine had some slack up top too. http://www.frsport.com/Installing-Tomei-Poncams-on-S13-SR20DET_t_35.html

Anyone else see this yet? http://jalopnik.com/5222908/2010-chevy-camaro-gets-mysterious-brake-weights

So is he driving yet? If so, what did you end up getting him? -Chris

So I came across this video on youtube and was a little confused. From what I've been reading here, Ferrari uses flat plane cranks and not 180* headers right? Or maybe both? Anyways, towards the beginning of the video, theres a car with headers like the engine above, 180* and in the valley. Could this engine use both flat plane crank and 180* headers? It seems like it'd be a little overkill if not counter productive? Maybe I'm just a total newb? Explanation anyone? Car/engine in question is seen at about 20 secs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39uqfnW1wS8

Ha, Texas is great man... I moved from the Ft. Collins area back to central Texas and my Acura started spinning the tires again

Hmm... I always have said "kenny bell", dont really know if its correct though...

Where in Texas are you?

Green is definitely a good color, the black fender flares will really make it pop too... Did you see the post about the wrecked Z maybe a few weeks ago? I think how he had the window trim black (powdercoat maybe?) looked really good, it would probably go really well with your theme and might be relatively easy since you've already got the car torn apart... Oh, I saw in your video a TT manifold, is that going to be the future of Big Phil's Z?

I'm not, Happy Birthday Phil.

I'm not sure if thats what it means or not, but I did see your sweet videos on youtube that lead me here... I've been hooked since. Well, it was your videos and the famous Darius Z video too

Any updates? Im interested to see how this turns out. -Chris

Looks really neat but... How are they stuck on the rims? With a conventional tire and wheel, say you hit a curb and un-seat the bead, big whoop, you just re-seat and fill with air. What if you break the "bead" on one of these? Would you have to buy a whole wheel and tire combo?

Man, thats terrible, I hope everyone is alright. Where on 410 was that? -Chris

My thoughts exactly, where can I sign up?

Man, that guy really used his time wisely in chassis fab... Either that or he had a class who worked hard and got live hours first phase. Which course are you in right now?
