  1. tim: go to blockbuster and rent army of darkness. You'll understand it. If you want to watch TWO bad (but great) movies, rent evil dead 2, and army of darkness. Watch evil dead 2 first. matt: if you're set on it, I can add you as a confirmed buyer (we need min. 10 people, 7 confirmed counting you now).
  2. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2451718436&category=6472 read the description, it's hilarious. especially terms of sale
  3. Is that a vagina in the background? There are three engines that are being considered: 2.0L I-4 Turbo, 3.0L V6 NA, 4.6L V8 NA Mustang GT motor
  4. I think he's using a prelude sway bar that he modified the ends on. Terry, would you be interested in making a run of these for us hybridz folk that lack tools and welding equipment?
  5. exactly what on3go said. it's a trim level. I hear a lot of camaro owners referring to their car as a Z. However, that means the corvette, the 1500 truck, the beretta, the corsica, the cavalier are all Z cars. Chevy may have gotten the letter first, but they used it in a different context. It would be like a dodge owner today saying "yeah, I got an sxt!" but...and sxt what? caravan? durango? neon? intrepid? stratus? Another thing about camaro/firebird owners is that some of them refer to their cars as A4s. I immediately think "Oh, an audi" but alas, no, they're referring to the 460le 4 speed auto
  6. wow, that sucks. that's a total if i've ever seen one, good thing you made it out injury free!
  7. i heard the opposite for ati, and read some mustang horror stories with customer service. can't vouch for it myself, no personal experience
  8. no biggie, it's not something you can compare directly. Mazda rates it as a 1.3 liter, Wankel rated it as a 1.3 liter for over half a decade, so I just go with that. It's just that people try to do the closest possible comparison between a wankel and a piston motor
  9. scca now does sanctioned drift events. tim: i think you mean the trooper. the rodeo is the lower one that honda's passport is built on.
  10. ............ i don't think you know what drifting is either. make sure someone's videotaping your rollover, I want the vid plastered over the boards on the net just make sure you don't say you're from hybridz, we don't want the embarrassement
  11. Don Manzo (dmanzo57, where are you!?) has a perfect hybridz daily driver. He drives it from gilroy to sunnyvale daily (about 60 mile round trip) and it has a 383 with ~450crank hp, running 11.6 at sac raceway.
  12. Displacement is measured by the amount of air moved per cycle set, right? So, it's not a 3.9 liter, since per 1 rotor revolution, only 1 side of the rotor is used to move air, compress it, then combust it, and expel it. But one could theoretically argue that it's a 2.6 liter, if you compensate for the extra emptry stroke cycles done by the piston engines. For every up/down stroke, the crankshaft in a piston engine moves twice. Wankel motor completes its combustion cycle in a circle. if you guys have a LOT of time to kill: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165579 there's a thread dedicated to discussing the displacement of the wankel engine. I'm just going by what the inventor, Felix Wankel, rated the engine at. Which is 654cc per rotor chamber (3 per rotor, only 1 used at a time) x 2 rotors, at 1308cc total. On a side note, you can't measure the rotary by the crank rotation, because for 1 rotor revolution, the rotary makes 3 eccentric [crank] shaft revolutions. So when the tachometer on a rotary is showing 6k rpm, that's the speed of the crank shaft, the actual rotors are moving at 2k rpm
  13. actually, mazda rates it as a 1.3 liter. otherwise it wouldn't be a 13b
  14. actually, here's what it does look like. with specs http://bigred1.netfirms.com/05Mustang.htm
  15. http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24343 see #2. s13 had same bolt pattern as 240z, but positive offset. Z has 0 offset.
  16. Anyone seen Finding Nemo? " 'ALLO!!! My name's Bruce!"
  17. That's a negative, ghostrider. Imagestation does not allow linking of full size images, so you'll either have to upload them to hybridz gallery, or link the smaller scaled preview versions IS offers
  18. take out control arms from the crossmember, drill new pivot holes in crossmember 3/4" higher (center of hole to center of hole), weld on new washers. condition solved
  19. too much effort. go ot a junkyard and pull off a good diff cover. it's 8 bucks. that's what i did for my lsd
