    Because I'm such a saint, and I see a friend in 'need', I decide to 'loan' BUURP my jar of frugally savored jam. Less than two day's later I go retrieve it... and it's 3/4 gone! Fokker. Got any for sale, Mongo?
  2. I'd be surprised if we haven't covered this before, but here's a picture of my 240, 15x7, +38, 215/50/15 tires, and 1.375" spacers/adapters...
  3. Wheel width is a 'must know' to answer the question. Tossing a bone... +38 means the center of the wheel would be 38mm closer to the center of car.
  4. In the stickies in this sub-forum... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=121877
  5. Great battle between Pete Brock in a V8 Commodore and Jim Richards in an E30 M3 (circa 1987)...
  6. Those banners help pay to keep this forum breathing. If enough members donated, we wouldn't need them (yes, that was a hint )
  7. A few more pictures of the OS Giken head... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=1097416#post1097416
  8. It is a repost... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=155686 But those pictures may be useful, so I'm re-titleing your thread. Thanks!
  9. Nice list. Just keep in mind, while the list suggests "no performance benefit" there may be a performance detriment, depending on your idea of performance. Defeating a properly functioning canister may cause your car to pollute more while the engine is OFF than most new cars pollute driving down the highway. Defeating a properly functioning PCV system may reduce the lifespan of your engine. Defeating a properly functioning EGR system may increase combustion temps under cruise conditions. Etc, etc, etc. The point is, if you're going to remove that stuff, it would seem prudent to understand it's purpose before doing so.
  10. I knew this guy once, who attempted to install an Electromotive EMS in a well cared for S130. He eventually gave up on trying to get it to run and brought it to me. He still had a number of unfinished details, like mounting the ECU. The EFI harness came through the firewall in the sock location, but the ECU was still sitting on the floor pan... the low point. The car sat outside for a while. Rain water collected on the unwrapped harness via the hood vent, followed gravity as its told to do, and came to a rest in the ECU connector. The car was delivered to me, dry of course. After checking the basics, I could get no life out of the unit. I pulled the ECU connector, and this very pretty, brand new ECU, was nothing but pure corrosion inside. Moral of the story, don't make the ECU the low point. Very few installations will completely prevent ALL water over many years of rain, under hood washing, etc. If the ECU is mounted low (in the stock location, for example), I put a 'droop' in the harness creating a trap of sorts. Most of my installs have been OE location or in the glovebox.
  11. Assuming you're in Oakland CA, I'll ship this stock N42 to your doorstep for $100...

    My aunt brought over some Habanero jam for T-day made by a friend of a friend. Similar flavor but much much milder. Mongo is still the champion
  13. Gobble Gobble. Have a thankful day y'all.
  14. I was getting a smidge over 28 on the highway with my 240. '95 LT1/T56, Hooker headers and exhaust, but otherwise stock, 3.90 gears, and 225/50/15 tires. Car weighed 2420 dry. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=118147
  15. Fun DTM vid! Only thing missing is all the wonderful noises those cars made.
  16. These are the lugs Tony is talking about... I have never seen an L6 that didn't have them (which means I haven't seen the hex that Tony is looking for, either).
  17. You now have a 30 day window to edit your posts in the Members Projects sub-forum.
  18. Brian, Can you tell us what both weigh? Is the CF spoiler all CF or is it CF over FG?
  19. It's on the same page... http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/7AD1/50-1401 A few people on this forum have installed the earlier dam on later cars. I found discussion of it just last week. Do some digging.
  20. MotorSport Auto, Type 1. As far as I know, it's only available in fiberglass.
