  1. I have a pair of 5.25" Ads mids mounted in custom boxes bolted onto the doors., and tiltable tweeters mounted about 6" from them higher on the door. The boxes basically fit between the seat and the front edge of the door and stick out about 2 1/2"... Very little cutting of metal involved (if any).
  2. jimzdat: Do those EZ Harness's come with the ground wires unlike the Painless kits?
  3. DD = '96 Town Car Weekend car = '94 Q45a
  4. Dude - the Fiero and MR2's came out at the same time - the Fiero may have been first....
  5. Yes, they were available on one or two Chrysler products. Too small for our use though....
  6. But then he won't be distracted - just disgusted....possibly wretching....
  7. I'm glad this subject came up, because I may be looking to get a diesel powered van of some kind. I had stopped by a turbo shop here in Marietta with Warren and heard some stories about some of the diesel engines out there being a real horror story for servicing. Seems one particular motor, no matter what you had to do you had to remove everything and pay out the but for it also - can't remember the particulars, but believe it was one of the Ford (International?) engines.... My dad used to be a purchasing manager for Cummins back in the 50's so I'm kinda partial to 'em to start off with. DR_Hunts' comments were very enlightening....
  8. KnockSense can utilize the stock ZXT knock sensor - which is tuned for the L28 already....
  9. Go to any hydraulics supply shop and they should have the stuff - Royal Brass is where I got mine in Marietta, GA. A LOT cheaper than $7+ bux a 1/2 foot....
  10. HALL... The VR conditioning circuit in MS converts the sine wave output of the VR sensor to a square wave output. The optical sensor already outputs a square wave....same as a Hall sensor.
  11. My '83ZXT runs but has paint leprosy and a few rust areas. My '75 has had its' engine and tranny out for 3 years, awaiting time for subframes, pans, and rear qtr, along with typical front fender rust spots.
  12. Excellent Phil! Did you pick up much grunt down low/before/off boost? Does the car seem to handle everyday driving any better? I know you're stoked.
  13. For $125 more - maybe less, you can get a 60 gal 240V Husky, HF, CH, Coleman compressor that wil be WAY better... HF has 20% off coupons, sales are run a lot...
  14. I bought that kit and replaced everything but the valve and adapter - the hose is just junk and I wasn't happy with the compression fittings either....Mine works fine - I have my compressor in the basement where it is cool and air conditioned, and my tank stays dry...
  15. I'm sure that I have spent over $3000 at HF - like $285 for a 20" swing 12 speed floor standing Drill Press. This was when it was on sale for $339 and I had a 20% off coupon. I have bought a benchtop drill press, grinders, chop saw, A LOT OF AIR TOOLS and assorted other small stuff. The only time I have ordered online was for a 30" floorstanding fan which the store didn't stock - $99 and cheap shipping - got it promptly. The closest store is about 10 miles away, but it is also on the way to an auto paint supplier I use, and about 3 miles past the exit for the nearest mall and Home Depot, so it really isn't too much out of my way to go there, unless I forget something and have to make a single stop trip - which I HATE (I'm cheap).
  16. I like Wil-e Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn too, but the one character/animal I really remember (every time I eat something REALLY GOOD) is Snuggles - the dog on Quick Draw McGraw that would hug himself and jump into the air and float back down after getting a dog biscuit....
  17. ZBarn in Tennessee is a good source of parts, and Roger is a great guy. There is probably someone closer to you though....
  18. Don't want to hijack the thread, but I had the one piece Arizona Gnose shipped to me in a crate via Greyhound for ~$80 - it weighed around 80 lbs (crate was really heavy) and was just under the length limit... I got lucky in that a fellow HybridZ'er around Phoenix happened to work at a place that did a lot of shipping and could fab a crate cheap for me - he even went and picked the GNose up from Dave! I would imagine an air dam would run about the same, unless you would be willing to just put it in a box.... By the way - those wheels are Western Cyclone I's. I have the II's, which have more fins spaced closer together. Mine are 14x7's. I had 15x7's just like them (II's) on a '72 351CJ Mustang....
  19. The JTR mount will work w/ both trannies - they recommend the A4 tranny.
  20. Pistons ande head = aluminum, FOD = iron or steel. I don't think aluminum will deform iron or steel at the speeds we're talking about....
  21. Quarter panels only go to the body line - they don't bend over to the pillar area - I know - I've got one for the drivers' side on mine....from MSA.
  22. Looks to me like you simply put the cable with the end that looks like a battery terminal in the positive battery cables' clamp, then attach the cable with the battery terminal clamp onto the positive terminal of the battery....
