  1. I for the life of me cannot view the streetfire website that has all those neat videos. The video will download and play, but i just get sound and a black screen. I've tried lengthening the buffering time, but I still get no picture, just sound. Everything else works on this computer just fine, but for some reason, streetfire is the ONLY website that will not work for me. Can someone help this non-video player'ing computer out?
  2. I have the turnsignals inside my headlights, LED's to boot
  3. Holy crap is that funny!
  4. Just thinking out loud here, maybe paint the wire white, and use a thin sheet of plastic and melt(form) it over the wire and trim as nesessary. That might look kind of neat.
  5. They possibly have one in the low eights, because they have a lot of money to spend on the engine and chassis. How hard can it be to buy a kit and install a stock LS1 and transmission yourself? It's been done quite a few times, even by a few members here, plus there are websites to help you along the way should you have any problems. Some people like to do these things themselves and get the experience.
  6. Well, here is the conversation that took place... My Ma' - "Mike, how did you get the garbage disposal to work... I thought it was broken?" My Dad - "(in a serious voice) I hit it with a hammer." My Ma' - "You did what?!!" My Dad - "(with a smile on his face) Everything works better when you hit it with a hammer." I still laugh at that.
  7. Right you are Tim! Oh, and the strut lost, I threw it in a dumpster at one of my jobsites. I ended up buying a complete front suspension from someone somewhat local to replace this one FUBAR strut housing.
  8. Have you forgoten what website you are posting on?
  9. I was going through a few old CD's that I had laying around and I found these pictures on one of them. I had thought that these were lost for good! Who remembers this from a few years ago?
  10. That is nuts! Thanks for sharing
  11. John Washington of Reactionresearch.com has the molds to make fiberglass doors (I was supposed to be one of his beta testers, you listen'ing John ). But I haven't heard anything about them as of late. I'm pretty sure John Coffey and Jon Mortensen can tell you how to lighten the stock doors though.
  12. Good luck on the sale Tim. I'm debating whether or not to sell the GNZ myself. On one hand I have a car that is just a weekend and a few wrench turns away from running, but on the other hand I have the opportunity to buy a house if I sell it and my truck...

    last night...

    Where are the other pictures of her?
  14. Man, I want to keep typing "bastard" hahaha, anyways check this out. This guy doesn't know what happened to his SRT-4 engine. This guy in Milwaukee blew it up. From one of his previous threads, he was just putzing through a parking lot when he heard something and then antifreeze started puking out onto the ground. Click here
  15. A few years ago, I pulled apart my suspension, installed a poly bushing set and coilovers. I also used antisieze on every bolt I took off (this is what I surmised). Then, I suffered a stroke, really screwing up my memory (among other things). Then for some reason I took everything (suspension) apart again to bead blast all the red paint off and make everything that dealt with the suspension cobalt blue and everything that dealt with the driveline black. My buddy helped take the suspension back off and we found that not only were all the bolts very easy to take off from the liberal amounts of antisieze, but there was also a few bolts that were not torqued down to proper specifications! They were just hand tight... I was lucky after diving that Z for so many miles that nothing bad had happened. I still don't remember, doing my suspension the first time, or even why I painted it all red (I think it had to do with idolizing Jeromio at the time). But anyways, the antisieze works wonders when you put parts back together. Makes you life a heck of a lot easier I say. I still do not like using easyouts. I had two of them break off inside of the bolt. One I was able to drill out with a very expensive drill bit, and the other was left to stay in its new found home of a Buick GN dog house.
  16. Steve, Where were you? Please don't tell me this was in Wisconsin! I know just about everything going on in this state and never heard anything about it.
  17. That's about as far as you need to read. The remaining pages are just posts from all over the world saying how funny the thread is.
  18. Norm is a cool guy. He's on Hybrid Z as well.
  19. Dan, Has he got around to making those fiberglass doors yet? I was going to be one of his testers, but after contacting him once, he said he was just to busy.
  20. If you have an early Z car (a.k.a. S30) Replace: -Front lower control arm bushings (as long as you're in there, replace your tie rod ends and ball joints) -Rear inner and outer control arm bushings -Mustache bar bushings -Steering rack bushings -Steering rod isolator (hockey puck looking thing) -Swaybar end-links That should keep you busy for a little while. If you go with an Energy Suspension bushing kit, all the shells get cut/pressed out EXCEPT for the mustache bar bushings. You should know what I'm talking about since you did search before hand
  21. If anyone is curious, GM High-Tech magazine has a LT-1 vs. LS-1 article in thier December issue.
