it's a load of crap, because your chassis is the ground, and you already have a ton of wires running through it. If anything, you might get a hotter spark, which i still think is BS, but definitely not worth any extra power. especially not for 100 bucks. if you're interested, i got some redline blinker fluid for sale

tim: Where is the pickup desired for a track car? drag setup is favored in the rear because of the shifting fuel forces, wouldn't the pick up be desired in the middle? For some reason, I couldn't find the pro-stock cell in the online catalog, only the pro sport. Do you happen to have the part number for that guy? is that it? Also, what's the advantage of plastic cell vs. aluminum? spotfitz: as I've said, how does it hold up to track use and fuel starvation. I was doing a search on fuel cells and efi tanks out of early Z cars, and I caught a few posts saying that with 1/4 tank, people had fuel starvation. I was also talking to randy77t at the Rio Vista meet, and he runs into the same problem at 1/3 to 1/4 tank. The fuel cell already has larger fittings for bigger lines, foam and nice baffles . Another question: do fuel cells normally come with some sort of a sump? I could circumvent the fuel starvation issue with a 1/2 gallon surge tank, but that's about $300 bucks, plus finding a good location to mount it where it won't interfere with the interior spacing. I'm trying to keep the car streetable and practical at the same time

It was spaceball 1! They've gone to PLAID! They must've overshot us by a week! no, it's not a photoshop!

Hey guys, I'm the dumbass who's putting a 13b-re twin turbo motor into my Z. Got the motor last week finally, have an rx7 tranny for it, etc. So, my biggest problem is mounting the beast. My second biggest problem, however, is fuel setup that does not kill my budget, and will not starve the rotary. For those unfamiliar with rotaries, rotary + fuel starvation = boom. Originally I was planning on getting a spare 240z tank boiled out, getting a sump welded on, but I don't know if I want to go that route. The sump may sit too close to the ground for comfort. I'm new to the fuel cell thing, so.... what fuel cell should I use that won't kill my budget? I am looking at a 16 gallon fuel cell, and what should I look for when it comes to specifics? Any preferred brands? The car will be street/track (road course, not drag racing) use. I would LIKE to keep everything under the cost of $500. I know this is a broad range of topics I specified, so please, be gentle Thanks, -alex

I talk to scarp on a regular basis, and.... gasp... he's a moderator on a civic board so am I! He now has a chevy avalanche, and just picked up a general Lee (yeah, dukes of hazzard general lee! painted like one too!) with a 440 in it

I also don't see any strut towers

Prevent aircleaner flex! LOL!

I'd guess around 350lbs as shown. The guy I bought it from, and I picked it up and dragged it on a pallet off the mini trailer. stripped of accessories (power steering, smog pump, etc) it would shed about 50 -70 lbs, and my friend and I can pick it up by hand and put it on an engine stand

gimme a break, i just got it on saturday!

is that better?

and there it is, my twin turbo motivation, with me pointing at it

Well, as far as TC bushings go you can get the TC kit for 30 bucks, and that's half aluminum half delrin, about as close as you can get.

joe, my thoughts exactly. the design is too vague, they claim to have spent millions of $$ on research and development... but nothing physical to really show for it

Yes. G-Machine produces offset camber bushings, which are made of aluminum surrounded by a thin delrin shell. These are for race only, because they wear out quickly and make an unpleasant ride. Alternative is also Nylon, but I don't know anyone making nylon bushings for the Z.

holy.... shit. http://www.fasttrackperformance.com/page5/chow%20movie%20files/christtgn.wmv

Just talked to MSA, and they claim that the $550 price is from THREE years ago, and it's outdated and they will not honor it. Coincidentally, they also said that they had a special for this a little bit ago, the catalog expired, and they haven't printed a new one. So basically the only prices a person can go by are the ones in the MSA's computer system. Cliff notes: will not honor 549.95 price, prices are at 770 each, and the shipping cost for the rollcage to travel from LA to Bay Area, California is approximately $130. In shorter notes... another MSA disappointment ($130 for ground shipping!?)

In the front I put it either under the reinforced frame rails, right behind the tension rod mount, or the crossmember itself. in the rear, you can see where the rear cross tie-in goes just behind the rise, i use that point. it's a reinforced frame unit too

Weird....but MSA is known for catalog errors. I was going to stock up on stub axles that were listed at 27.99, only to learn that they made a typo, and the axles were 279.99 each, only one 9 off! Their catalog online still shows 770 for the cage... verify that it's an autopower rollcage, and if it is, for 550 I'll order one too! guess i should go check my mail
