    i vouch for zya's exhaust - it sounds really really friggin' mean!
  2. Kevin, what pisses me off is that my own mother does the exact same crap. Opens the door, DING! someone else's car. One day, I just pulled up to her in my car and opened the door right into her door. she got pissed at me and asked me why I did that, and I told her 'because you do that to everyone else, and you can't tell cars apart - the next car you will do it could be mine.'
  3. I think I have some left over inner and outer races for the bearings, I didn't use them (they're new) since mine were in good shape. Don't have any spare bearings though, let me know if you need them. otherwise you can get new bearings for 7/each at kragen for inner, and 6/each for outer
  4. i have 200lb springs on all 4 corners on GC coilovers, 10" long, 2.5" diameter eibachs that come with GC coilovers. These are mated with tokiko illumina 5 way struts, 1" front sway bar at the moment. Rear sway is not in yet, but it's the 7/8" msa solid one. I am still in process of figuring out the right settings, but setting the rear struts to 1 or 2 levels more than the front is sufficient enough to make the car neutral. I will probably have to bring the rear setting down a notch when the rear sway goes in. this is on a non-lsd r200
  5. no, this was just a careless idiot in some beater beretta. i even had a hunch that the driver wouldn't care how far the door swung out, so i parked as far from him as possible in the spot. I just wish the car was still there with the paint from my car on their door - I would've literally beat the crap out of the car with the 3' long breaker bar i had with me
  6. Great.... finally get my Z on the road, no scratches or dings in hte paint, and today someone was kind enough to open their door (i was FOUR feet away from them!) all the way out and mark their territory on my flawless door.
  7. I can vouch for that - my wheels were the '81 ZX snowflakes, 15x6, and they touched the caliper. I wound up selling them and getting another set of wheels cheap
  8. from some of the archives I saved on my system, can't remember where this is from, but i think it's from jeromio's page
  9. well, i wound up bending my own brake lines from scratch parts I bought at Kragen autoparts. Took me about an hour to get the fit exactly right, and I went through about 2 trial lines though.
  10. at the AMA superbike on saturday at seats point! You and your significant other (and a bunch of other people) went right by me during the Gary Rothwell stunt show, but I didn't get a chance to say anything as I was blocked by a mass of human bodies! Too bad his show was so short, and the seats I had were nicely placed in front of the haybails that covered up most of the bike :| and I wish I had a better camera for distance
  11. TO rephrase the question with more detail... i have the toyota 4x4 wide calipers with z31 rotors and spacers and earl stainless steel braided brake lines. The question is... do I really need to bend the stock S shaped solid line, or can I just get a solid joint (2 threads on it to link the caliper and SS line) and run straight to the SS line? I examined the turn radius with just the SS line attached, it doesn't make a significant amount of difference, if anything, it acts better throughout suspension travel as far as i can see. Bending the line without a tool is a PITA, and I'm afraid of putting anymore pressure on the sucker, as it might break. Any reason why I haven't read of people doing what I'm considering doing? I don't see any drawbacks. DavyZ was with me, checked it out, and he is wondering the same thing. ideas?
  12. force of the mullet, that is I haven't had a 4th gen camaro on a 4x4 in my collection yet, now i do! so far i have collected the following: -triumph spitfire -ford ltd -el camino -mark 1 mustang -shelby cobra gt350 -dodge dart -delorean -fox body mustang -first gen camaro -various hondas the list keeps going
  13. ask yourself... do you really want me to go and dig up a riced out Z for you?
  14. it's not rice... cuz it's a domestic. that makes it a pork rhind

  16. holy crap, glad you didn't become a statistic!
  17. nah, don't use that. everyone and their mom from the escort/focus club here in california has those stickers on their cars. and 80% of them are riced out with bodykits and stickers and fartpipes. my neon r/t's plate frame says 'factory stripes add horsepower'
  18. strap a jet engine to it. http://www.members.shaw.ca/anth3m5/jetwaco.mpg
  19. the good: http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.com/10/4/4/23598844.htm The bad and the ugly are one in the same. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1821946340
  20. http://www.msnbc.com/local/CTPOST/M172836.asp?0na=x22142A0n gimme a break... knocked up at TEN by a SEVENTY FIVE year old?
  21. mine came from Motorsport auto, paid 230 (they're 199 now, i think) for 1" front, 7/8 rear, and all bushings and endlinks/fittings included. DavyZ on the other hand lucked out and got a set of pretty much same sway bars from a junkyard in good condition for $30!
  22. tires are now on the car. I don't like them because they are too sticky and i have a very difficult time breaking traction to do drifts. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. either way, the driver got lucky
