  1. Still a few things on the To-Do, but we get a little closer every year...
  2. Please take the advice given seriously. We appreciate your desire to help, but if its not coherent, its useless... or worse. Thanks.
  3. One super-sized dose of luck on the way!
  4. Not too bright, are you? FYI, The dudes in red are admins... might want to re-think your strategy. Savvy?
  5. Are you suggesting drifting imposes more lateral stress than autocrossing? Surely not.
  6. 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.
  7. Hi Derek, A little late to help I suspect, but... I removed/welded the EGR pad a number of years ago...
  8. ...BRAAP's assimilation by the dark side is nearing completion
  9. 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.
  10. In my black pull-over & blue jeans... my monitor is bigger than yours
  11. No horn button... yeah, that's it
  12. One way... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?p=783354
  13. 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
  14. Cool cars, but I'm convinced they are the worst 'date car' ever built. I bet even Lotus would agree to that
  15. 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).
  16. Obviously not quite that simply, but in effect, you can. Dennis Palatov's creation...
