  1. One super-sized dose of luck on the way!
  2. Not too bright, are you? FYI, The dudes in red are admins... might want to re-think your strategy. Savvy?
  3. Are you suggesting drifting imposes more lateral stress than autocrossing? Surely not.
  4. I built that manifold roughly 13 years ago, so I'm afraid I don't recall the specific year. However, its just an NA 280zx manifold with a few hours of massage work. I realize you are asking about turbo manifolds, but the EGR mod. will be essentially the same regardless of aspiration.
  5. Hi Derek, A little late to help I suspect, but... I removed/welded the EGR pad a number of years ago...
  6. ...BRAAP's assimilation by the dark side is nearing completion
  7. Your understating of the AFM couldn't be farther from the truth. Might want to take those books a little more seriously. I'm not going to ask again... start using your shift key or I'll remove your posting privileges.
  8. In my black pull-over & blue jeans... my monitor is bigger than yours
  9. No horn button... yeah, that's it
  10. One way... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=783354
  11. Nope, no rear tie rods. Rear toe is not adjustable. *If* the rear is significantly toed-in, something may be bent. Most shops will take "thrust" measurements (toe on each side, individually). What did the report say? If all the toe-in is 'on one side', that should help narrow your focus. I see four possible scenario's... 1) You misunderstood what they said. If so, communication skills may need work 2) They actually said that, but have NO idea what they're looking at. If so, learn to check it yourself or take it to a different shop. 3) They are taking advantage of you. If so, you cannot trust anything they are telling you. Either learn to check it yourself or take it to a different shop. 4) Previous owner installed adjustable control arms. If so, posting a picture of the rear suspension will go a long way toward settling this. 1 & 3 are the most common, in my experience. P.S. Do us all a favor and fix your shift key
  12. Cool cars, but I'm convinced they are the worst 'date car' ever built. I bet even Lotus would agree to that
  13. Settle yourself in for some good reading (and answered questions)... http://dpcars.net/dp1dsn/index.htm http://dpcars.net/dp1bld/index.htm Dennis lives about an hour from me. Terrific guy (and humbling to be around). That's about as far as I'm willing to jack this thread (sorry Mull).
  14. Obviously not quite that simply, but in effect, you can. Dennis Palatov's creation...
  15. Chill. Its only been 6 hours. The most common cause of 'flooding' with an L-Jet is a problem with the water temp circuit. The sensor itself, poor contacts, or, much less likely, a wiring problem. The most noticeable behavior is that it starts up and runs fine when its cold and, as it warms, it runs progressively richer, with the car eventually running very poorly or not at all. Under what specific conditions is it flooding? Being clear and descriptive will get you on the road sooner and more efficiently. Changing title to something useful for the next guy... P.S. Fix your shift key.
