wow... what a motor...jaw on floor...

Here is another shot of the new color

I would get a piece of steel and cut it to bolt under a couple of the strut hat nuts. That is if you don't have camber plates. You could bend it up the 15 or so degrees so tha camera sits flat. Maybe 1/8" steel if it is a light(er) camera. Sort of like a strut brace mounting plate.

I know right? He told me $1800 for a 280ZXT...I was like "he must be insane!" that car has been sitting for like 6 years and two of the wheels are spares! I'll keep looking.

yeah... and it was aimed directly at my college that I am going to this weekend right when it was supposed to hit...but then it turned east...Whew...

that is no 2.4...maybe a L20A or SR20 or even smaller. Pretty cool sounding for that small of a motor. Love the diffuser. *edit The Spoiler on that thing is saweet!!!

I know y'all think I am going crazy with all these designs and stuff but I think some of this stuff would be cool. This was a quickie sketch. Each square is 1.625" for simplicity's sake. I'll have a turbo header up later or tomorrow.

to your home stereo where it is needed.

wel for an EFI turbo standpoint I think it would be as good or better to have the SU intake. Shorter runners and can probably be ported larger than EFI runners. I'll go measure them.

I say get a bunch of 600 grit from home depot and wetsand. Then polish (buff) it up. The 400 is slightly too aggressive for the final sanding. Your car is going to be astounding Phil. I would say go ahead and do your hood since it is not connected to the rest of the car. You will be amazed. Get some good buffing compound as the aluminium polish is just a tinge rough for paint plus it does not go very far.

I see...

haha...minicamo ZZzap!

so where is that thread about the sneaky SUs? I am searching...

yeah...give me an offer for mine. In the $110+shipping range...if you want them. they have 4 louvers per side. perfect condition.

I will have a radio in my car with some 6x9 speakers just because I wil be driving the car for several years in college. Once I get out of colege and get a Z to drive daily then it will come out.

moby...that is VEWY VEWY intewesting.. so some basics here... TBI has injectors at the throttle body but then there is a throttle body with direct port injection. How is TBI so different than a carb? just sinced I am EFI dumb...I have my roundtops sitting on a table in my garage doing nothing...and an old busted mechanical fuel pump I could gut out to complete the look. just if I had some flat tops...

remove the woofer...put on a loud exhaust and be done with it.

yes that was the bolt on SU replacement kit. I'm going to look on Evilbay for some of those starion TBI's I wonder if you can put a standard chevy TBI like this one sideways so that it will mount easily. Then run a Y-pipe and runners to each intake manifold http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SBC-46mm-TBI-bored-throttle-body-590cfm-340hp-350-383_W0QQitemZ260024011718QQihZ016QQcategoryZ38634QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I think I'll call this color chocolate drop...it's growing on me...

just wait until the new color is shiny!

thanks! We'll see what comes of this new color of paint...

oh great... J/K...

well the TWM SU replacement was like $1500. That is what I was talking about...the starion units look like a good idea.

haha.. about 10 minutes with some 400 grit and then straight to aluminium polish. I am too lazy and poor to go out and buy another kind of polish for paint. It doesn't matter how pretty it is when it goes on but as long as you get even coverage this stuff is a breeze to wet-sand as long as you have a constant water supply (garden hose). I had another area that only had 4 thin layers of paint and I sanded right through it with 400. Just get it on there thick so that after the second coat you don't see any of the under color. synlubes: do it in black...even better. just a little harder to wetsand than the red but not bad. This paint looks good from 2 feet away...don't get closer than that...

Well I am dragging this back up from the dead...I am doing the last part of my rustoleum project before I leave and graduate from rustoleum university... I was hosing all the pine sap and bird bombs off my car before I pushed the car into the garage for the winter and I was thinking...I'll just pull out a little piece of 400 grit paper and then I'll use a little aluminium polish. So I started sanding away at the roof and it was getting really smooth. I had not really done any decent wet sanding to this rustoleum yet so I just wanted to see how much shine I could get out of it. well here it is... this is what it looked like for the last couple of months. and then...BAM! and since I decided that I never really liked the bright red I would take some of my red and black rustoleum and mix them. It will be a maroon(sp?) color. I know it looks chocolate but rustoleum seems to get lighter when it dries out. And another shot comparing the red to the darker red.
