You can guess what color the roof of the parts car used to be. He also had the drip rails shaved.

What Dan said. For DavyZ's roof, he and I bought a parts car to strip, so we cut the roof off of it and he used that for his Z. He has a shop graft the roof to replace the sunroof. Actually, I'm heaidng over there to get some parts - I'll bring my camera and take pictures of his Z post-sunroof repair

I always wanted to see a side by side comparison of an intelligent presentation of one side of the argument alongside one written by a high school kid. One thing I find funny is that (and I;m not trying to start a new argument) is that Z owners break up into 3 categories like omnivores (most people), vegetarians, and vegans. -We have the guys that'll put anything into a 240z, change the body lines, etc. That's most of us, meat and veggie eaters. -Then we have the nissan only bandwagon, claiming that only motors that belong in a Z are nissan. So it's ok to stuff an rb26dett into a 240Z because it's still a nissan motor. That's vegetarians: against meat, but ok to eat things like fish, milk, eggs, etc. -Finally, we have the ultimate purist: the guy that will shun both the hybridz owner and the bandwagoneer (or sackrider, if you prefer the modern terminology) for even TOUCHING something inside the engine bay unless it's a NOS replacement. "What? H4 lights in a 240z? blasphemy! Those aren't original!" Compare that to the vegan, who will shun vegeterians for eating any product of an animal: no eggs, no milk, no caviar, etc. Which brings to mind another question: what will the ultimate purist do when NOS parts are all but gone?

the problem with sunroof is not drag, or weight. It's the fact that it weakens the structure of the body

nope, no dynomax. all their mufflers are fiberglass packed

thanks guys, if you have any other ideas, post'em up!

the 300zx, both stateside and japan, had a vg30dett.

It's not a 350z motor: it's vq 30 det, SINGLE turbo 3 liter v6 block.

hahahah! You had your chance at MSA Mike, Tim is the dork in the middle wearing a hat and striped shorts. Does that old fart look MENACING to you?

I wouldn't worry about Tim. he's not from africa, he's actually canadian. FRENCH CANADIAN

Wankels make a metric buttload of heat. My exhaust manifold is 304 stainless. downpipe from the turbo will also be stainless. I was thinking of running a borla XR1 bullet in the middle with 3" in 3" out, and the entire exhaust system to be 3" OD The muffler needs to be stainless, I don't want it to be loud, and it should be fairly free flowing. I can't use fiberglass packed mufflers because the packing will burn off. I think Borla makes SS mufflers with SS packing. What are my other choices for mufflers that won't break my wallet? I'm looking for under $150-160. That XR1 bullet is 100 bucks by itself

Well, since I"m the guy that can find anything....

I will have a pair of 200lb/in springs coming off my GC coilovers either this weekend or next. They're 10" x 2.5". They have about 1.5k miles on htem at most.

yeah, this thread's definitely going down teh sh1tter.....

Mike, you haven't been to any corporate meetings. When upper managements says things like "let's throw it up against the wall" or "I'll ping you after the meeting" I'm a network engineer. There's nothing worse than hearing someone say "PING" to refer to getting in touch with someone In a while, I suppose people will say "I'll ACK/SYN you later"

that's cool and all, but this is the tech discussion forum, not the classifieds section.

I just have a lot of "luck" with that specific FoodMaxx, I guess. That, and I'm a magnet for stupidity

i leave the supermarket, and I'm loading groceries into the trunk of my car. This guy comes up to me with a walker... "hey man... i'm really sorry to bother you like this, you see, my wife and my kid, we're out on the street... and man, i got nothing.... I just got back from being in the Marines..." Now, he has a walker cane in his left hand, and he's limping on his left leg. WRONG LEG. He is also wearing new baggy jeans. me: Marines? Semper Fi, soldier! I was decommissioned 2 months ago! him: *confused look* Uh... Semmer Ti... me: what division were you in? him: 331st me: no kidding? my brother is in 331! You know Colonel Wzierbowski? Lt. Commander Vasquez? Commander Apone? him: oh yeah, I think I've ran into those guys before, Vasquez was a cool guy me: Hey man [as I'm digging around for spare change in the ashtray], you ever seen the movie Aliens? him: yeah, long time ago. me: Then you would know that I just gave you the names of Colonial Space Marines from the movie, right? And Vasquez was a chick. him: ............. Then I hand him a couple of quarters, and say "Valiant attempt, but you should try a different approach - decommissioned soldiers don't get kicked out on the street, especially if you're trying to pull off a war injury"

i couldn't agree more but you know there's at least one idiot who's done it in real life!
