  1. SHOVE A CHEVY 350 IN IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1864239138
  2. nope, but sarah's been a good friend of mine for... shoot, over 5 years now. i know she just picked up an Se-R in nevada - now if it could only pass smog....
  3. Hey! that's my friend sarah standing on the lightpole (or, next to it)!
  4. Thanks Donna! the road would've been very fun except for two small problems: 1. my tranny started overheating and whining like crazy 3/4 way up, so I pulled over and took pics while my friend and i waited for it to cool down. 2. the tires on the car are really not set for handling - they have no grip as I can chirp them going into 3rd, and this is on a stock motor with carbs running rich. aaron: if you want to see varieties of markers they carry, check this url out http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com/markerlights.html available at most motorcycle stores and online. These are the ones (amber) that I used to have on my bike that I just sold.
  5. "let's address slavery and RACISM, and expell everyone who's NOT black" Non-Blacks Expelled at Conference Conference Against Racism Expels Non-Blacks, Says Too Traumatic to Discuss Slavery Before Whites BRIDGETOWN, Barbados Oct. 2 — Delegates at an anti-racism conference voted Wednesday to expel non-blacks from the meeting, saying it was too traumatic to discuss slavery in front of them. The dozen or so whites and a couple of Asians, mainly interpreters and members of non-governmental groups, left without protest. The more than 200 delegates from several countries voted overwhelmingly for the restriction, with about 50 abstaining, officials said. The event was organized by various non-governmental organizations. "This is an African family occasion and therefore they should not be allowed to sit down and talk with us," said Garadina Gamba, a spokeswoman for the British delegation. Conference chairwoman Jewel Crawford of the United States said "There are a number of black people who have been traumatized by white people and they suffered psychologically and emotionally and, as a result of that trauma, some of them did not care to discuss their issues in front of them." But Jean Violet Baptiste, spokeswoman for the Guyana-based African Cultural and Development Association, said organizers should have made clear that only blacks were welcome: "You can't have people come all this way and then ask them to leave." A major issue at the meeting is a plan by black activists from the Caribbean and North America to sue France for making Haiti pay millions of dollars for recognition of its independence nearly two centuries ago. Attorney General Mia Mottley of Barbados urged delegates to build upon last year's U.N. conference against racism in South Africa, which recognized slavery and the slave trade as a crime against humanity. The meeting, titled African and African Descendants' World Conference Against Racism, was hosted by the government of Barbados. Organizers included the Congress Against Racism Barbados and the U.S.-based Congress of People of African Descent http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/ap20021002_2410.html
  6. It's a 280z urethane airdam - the turn signals are mounted in the upper grille stock - so the airdam had the stock signal holes covered. I was originally thinking about cutting holes for stock signals, then figured one could do the first ricey modification to the car I also want to design a little brace to go behind the airdam so it will have benefits of both worlds - damage control/flexibility of urethane, and strength/functionality of a fiberglass airdam.

  8. jackyl is 3chord 80s hairband just an fyi hehe i like these guys not for the 'quality' of music they play, but just for the fun factor. just like a guy i used to know who was lead guitar in a band would say "offspring sucks, it's a 3chord punk crap, no skill and no talent". but the point is offspring is fun to listen to, so i didn't care much for his comments. follow what i'm saying?
  9. I bought a 2hp 8 gallon compressor from harbor freight for 119.99, 3/8" ratchet and 1/2" impact gun w/ socket kit for 50 bucks, air hammer, and an air 3" cutoff saw + 25 foot hose for dirt cheap. I think everything cost me $200-220 or so with tax. Worked great, I used it quite a bit (took apart all my suspension, even got the rear stub axles on and off (240ft lbs of torque required) my rear strut towers. That should be way more than enough for your operation, and a larger tank will allow you to use spray guns and sandblasters. cambell housefeld is carried by sears, so i don't see it as a bad investment
  10. tdab: they're ronals, courtesy of...once again...davyz! (see what a nice upstanding member he is? thanks dave!), 15x7 zfan: i'm in fremont, and the pics were taken by lexington reservour off hwy 17, on bear creek road.
  11. GET GEAR. GET GOOD GEAR. expect about 1000 dollar setback for gear. get a helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, pants. in that order. and don't get cheap stuff, make sure jacket has plastic armor in it and the jacket is a TIGHT fit, the helmet is snell2000 and dot approved full faced, preferably shoei or arai. (i have an arai quantum/f),
  12. yeah, someone left me my first and only ding 2nd week my car was on the ground
  13. Pardon the quality, my camera is old, and it sucks for taking shots at dimming lighting I also wish I had my tripod with me - i could've set the exposure timing without wobbling the camera - pics would've been a LOT clearer. I installed the airdam (thanks davyz!) as you can see, and I swapped out huge stock turn signals for.... lockhart phillips motorcycle flush markers (mine and my friend rob's idea). i think i did a pretty good job - you can see them being quite flush with the airdam, and the pair with bulbs and hardware cost me $20!
  14. yeah, but touring can apply to any car. the Z isn't the TRUE definition of a sports car, but it's a sport coupe. true sportscar is something lightweight, rwd, mid/front engine placement, decent handling, 2 seater open top. today's qualifiers are miata, bmw z3, porsche boxster, toyota mr spyder, and a few others i can't think of. the Z is shy of that title by a convertible margin. The 1600 and 2000 roadster would fit the definition
  15. update: I got a sample song.... they kick hiney. The music is a punk rock mix (old punk rock). Sounds like misfits mixed in with a little bit of jackyl and uh.... can't figure out what else. But i like it! good driving tunes!
  16. haha i wish it was - i used to do that, but not on video camera. i'm in california - i don't have a southern accent
  17. http://www.noizyland.com/home/view_band_info.asp?ID=407 damn. now to find their songs and find out what they're like
  18. the datsun was designed to be the cheaper alternative to the mustang/camaro counterparts. If you want to get technical, it's a touring car for the reason that it is a pony car, and can be labeled as a GT car, ie. grand touring. It's a 2 seater, rwd, light, with good responsive handling. What do you define as touring? And if it wasn't meant to be raced, what was Peter Brock of BRE doing with the 240z? heck, the 510 was supposed to be a commutter sedan/coupe/wagon, but look how it turned out for autox and racing
  19. http://people.clemson.edu/~jhavird/ricer_bs_1.mpg 13 megs, but hilarious
  20. you know, I need to hang around you more, you need to rub some of that good luck on me. possibly during a job interview!
  21. nah, not that... complete lack of traction beyond 400hp
  22. you know what 400, 600, and 800 hp supras have in common? 12 second time slips

    V the Z

    maybe he's implying the 10th anniversary Z car edition that was released in 2nd half of 1980? The black/gold, black/silver, and black/red variant paintjob tones? the only other thing that MIGHT come to mind is the 1979 datsun 280ZX-R...but that's not a 1980
  24. Pete: I think what you meant was "Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder." The question is...is there enough beer in the world?
