Only if he can get the car to hook up!!!

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.

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.

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...

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...

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).

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....

ZBarn in Tennessee is a good source of parts, and Roger is a great guy. There is probably someone closer to you though....

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....

The JTR mount will work w/ both trannies - they recommend the A4 tranny.

Kudos!

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....

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.

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....

Welcome aboard - I hate you... I NEVER get deals like that!

I have Dura Blocks and love 'em!

A turbo Buick engine.....

A WC won't fit - the input shaft is different. You might try a search on T5's for the latest info on building one up with WC parts...G-Force is the vendor I believe. Probably better off adapting a Z32TT manual tranny.

Same as JMortensen... Of course, there's still time to turn to the Dark Side....

Wish I could say I've had a change to use the 40 lb pressure type I got from HF, but haven't yet. I HAVE built a 2'x2'x4' blast cabinet that I have used to clean up parts and some Western Cyclone II wheels with though. Once I have thecar on jackstands I'll be removing suspension, (engine, trans, driveshaft and gas tank already out) then putting it on a rotisserie. Anything that won't fit in the cabinet will be blasted with the pressure pot. Sorry I haven't had the chancd to try it out yet....

I too have gone Chris' route - bought Zeddfindings pans and bought a welder and took classesw - but I have more than pans to do - front fenders between door and front wheelwell and driver's rear quarter. Even so - with just pans you more than pay for the welder doing it yourself, and it isn't hard. I'll be starting with the pans first before doing any exterior work for obvious reasons. I have already built a rotisserie so I don't haqve to do this on my back....

Hey Papa: You wouldn't be in Trenton would you - as a scout I used to go up to Case Cave every year....

Glad that it's resolved - you'll enjoy a 220 class machine - even the 'lowly' MM175 - as I stated before, I love mine and it is well worth the money over a 135....

I would suspect that for an autocross or tight road course, the shorter the runner lenngth the better for better spool response - for limited rpm range use, paying attention to the length might pay a few dividends...

MSII has ignition built in and has higher resolution and FIDLE. MS1_Extra will need mods for ignition and FIDLE. If you are naturally aspirated, I'd go w/MSII.
