  1. Hey garrett, Find a couple of old racer guys and ask them what they think could be causing it. The old timers may have figured this out 30 years ago and we just dont know about it yet. Mike.
  2. Take evrything chrome off the car and do it in satin black powdercoat. Looks better and it actually stays on. I did this to my white datsun 510 about 20 years ago, and it looked great. Mike.
  3. LOL... Looks like a drunk telephone pole to me. Mike.
  4. Wow, great cars guys. Jackhammer, That interior is the nicest one I've EVER seen in an S30. Very nice job. Mike.

    Looks like a good one for stitches. I do use super glue at work for the small ones though. I'm a Machinist and am constantly getting small cuts on my hands. Gotta disinfect and close 'em up otherwise they get infected. Mike.
  6. Hmmmm. I think I got started on hot wheels in '70 or '71.Had some Jhonny Lightning cars too. Christmas '72 got the cool orange Sizzlers track with the high bank turns and the figure eight wedges. It came with 2 cars (gold and black boss 302 and the white and blue firebird). Played with that constantly. Started with legos about that time too. later I got some of the master builders sets. One of these was a car chassis with a working motor with pistons that went up and down. Totally cool for the time. Mom called me a couple of years ago and asked if she could sell my them at a garage sale. Sadly I said yes. Best gift ever. Birthday '74 I think. I got an electric car. Red with black steering wheel and seat. I'd never seen anything like it, niether had anybody else at the time. I drove the wheels off that thing. My grandparents had a patio home with a huge backyard covered in brick that I drove around whenever we went over there. Always Cars, Cars, Cars, and building stuff. Mike.
  7. Dave at Arizona Z Car sells them. According to his website he is out of stock right now. You might give him a call and see when he might have them. Here is a pic. http://www.arizonazcar.com/sprock.html Mike.
  8. Zdream, That is one nice ride sir. Have not read any of your other posts. What turbo are you using? Mike.
  9. Jeremy, Something different? How about the BADMAN from B.G.. http://www.barrygrant.com/news/articles/products/product_022.aspx Expensive, but totally cool. Mike.
  10. You guys ROCK! Wish I could be there. Mike.
  11. Manny, B&B is in Mesa, just east of Alma School on Broadway. They are familiar with L-series motors but I dont know If they have ever seen an RB motor. One of the best machine shops in town is Basko in Gilbert. But I hear they have a bit of a wait. I'm not familiar with the RB, but work in an Aerospace machine shop. What is the nature of the work you need done? Mike.
  12. Aziza, Just curious. What problems are you having with the wheel? Mike.
  13. Anyone handy with photoshop? How about one each of bonded and blended body color and satin black? J. I think bonded and blended in body color would look great on your car. Depends on the airdam you use though, Have you chosen one? The car looks killer so far. Mike.
  14. CLSATT, Before reinstalling the tank,you may want to blow out the lines to and from the tank with compressed air. Then if your car was equipped with an electric boost pump near the tank, pull it out and open it up. Inside these pumps is a filter that usually needs to be cleaned or replaced. Mine was filthy, totally full of rusty crap. Check it out. Oh yeah, Ditch the points and don't ever look back.You won't regret it! Mike.
  15. Igerstein, If you have that much cash to devote to a Z you will easily beat up on a 944. The first thing you should do is find a relatively rust free car. Try not to spend any more than 2K on a running car. Find a 70 to 73 car as these are lighter, and depending on the emissions laws in your area tend to be easier to smog after mods. Then get a couple of books to read, and start taking the car apart. Just dig in. You'll learn more by doing this than any other way. The Z is a relatively simple car, good to learn on. I started my mods with new bushings, big brakes, coilovers and wheels and tires. Then comfy seats and.............................. And SEARCH if you have any questions. Mike.
  16. GiJonas, Can you post a link I can't see it. Mike.
  17. SS, It goes right in front of the door about 2/3 of the way up from the floor. Mike.
  18. LOL, anybody else see the "Roots" section under blowers? Mike.
