MONGO510

Welcome home! Thanks for your service!! Mongo

Acurate is inaccurate! Mongo

Good stuff fella's! Thanks, mongo

Thanks for the info! Anyone else got recommendations? Mongo

I went with a 3/4", closed end, acorn type nut. I stay away from the Allen socket and spline nuts because I have seen them split. Makes for a tough removal! Bought them on ebay, They don't cost much. Mongo

Hey Guy's, I am lookin at buying a used Motorhome/Tow rig and would like some opinions on pro's and con's of the two different types of rig.(Class A, Class C) Any and all info and ideas are welcome. Thanks, Mongo

Yeah! What RTz said. Mongo

Thanks! As for the lower control arm, the stock unit is strong, lightweight, and I have never seen one fail. The only disadvantage I can see is the lack of adjustable toe, which to me is minor. Mongo

I have some more pics of the car as it nears completion. Paint will be done next winter. As I fine tune everything it is getting much more civilized. It has been a long time since I drove a really high performance car. The SRpowered 510 runs really good and is pretty fast, But the Z is in a whole different league! This is probably the sweetest ride I will ever own! Anyway here's some pics.

Looking good so far!! Mongo

Skib, the car will definitly be at the Fly-In. See you there? Ron and Paul, I set the base timing to limp-mode by discoinnecting the SAW(it was advanced 3 Deg.), and checked the Float levels. The Secondary Float was set correctly, the Primary was very low! So after reconnecting everything I took it for a quick spin.....HOLY S..T!! It ran pretty good before, but now it is Friggin SCARY!! WOOHOO!! Frankly I don't know if I will be able Auto-X it. Things are happening must faster than I may be able to think. This is gonna be fun! See you at the Fly-In!! John

Hey skib! They are the wheels from the group buy. 9" front, 9.5" rear. I wasn't sure if I liked the 17" wheels, but tire availability forced the issue. I have decided "I like em" Mongo

The gauge lite bulbs do not draw near enough current to heat up your fuse. If the fuse block is heating up you have high resistance at the fuse holder or an overly large fuse. Soaking the fuse block in vinegar will clean the connections, or you may want to run a separate fuse holder for that circuit. FWIW, Mongo

Nice work Ron! Mongo

They are not stock. They have been reupholstered at some time in the past. Mongo

Got a new video, New Rota's, new tires (245-40x17 front, 275-40x17 rears) Sounds very healthy! take a look Mongo

Latest update! I reassembled my doors and of course I had to modify every thing in sight. I had to straighten up the bent regulators and install new channel felts. I got some good used window rollers from RTZ and BRAAP( Thanks Fella's!) and reassembled the door guts. The stock door panels were in pretty poor shape(holes for speakers, broken hardboard, tears, etc), so I decided to use the same material for new panels as I used on my 510. ABS plastic sheeting. This stuff looks pretty good, is bullet proof, and easy to work with. It is also reasonably priced.(get it at Tap Plastics). I used the top of the original panel and fabbed up a new lower section. While I was at it I decided to change the door opening mechanism. I changed it to the door levers that are used in the rear of a 2+2. No particular reason why I did it, just that I could. LOL Here are some pics!

Pick and pull in Tigard Oregon shows weatherstrip at 3.49/ft. Yikes! Mongo

Yes it is possible in the rear. Proper backspace wheels will be required, and maybe coilovers. Will not fit the front without severe clearance problems. Mongo

Got a fire suit? If so I'd put it on if I were you! Mongo

Need to know how much your wheels weigh?, Here ya go! http://tinyurl.com/wheelweights Mongo

Got no nuts. LOL Lug Nuts that is. Everyone else get Lug nuts? I don't recall anything about lug nuts in the thread. I will go read the thread again. Uhg! all 33 pages if needed. Mongo

I got my Rota wheels and they look great! Question; What type of Lug Nuts do these use? I am not familiar with this particular type of lug nut seat? Mongo
