  1. OK, I have an update here...just stopped wearing my cast, so I can go back to working on the Z. Here's the spacer setup that jmortensen was talking about: and you can see how the sway bar end link mounts: I'll get clearer pictures next week if I remember. I think the endlink bolts were 6" long... and you can always cut down the middle sleeve and shorten the link yourself.
  2. I think another appropriate comment would be "who in AK owns a ferrari?"
  3. after establishing dominance, the alpha F150 mates with the elusive Ferrari female
  4. exactly. I never interface with external customers, so I don't understand the need for a dress code. Then again, working for a credit union, they got some asswhack rules here. I still have no idea or explanation why I can't wear cargo pants, which are way comfier and probably more presentable than jeans anyway.
  5. BMWs have been using it for years. All the new models have little plastic plugs where the jack support goes. you're lifting the car by hte unibody reinforced frame, so you're fine as long as the metal's not bunk
  6. OK, I will bolt up my toyota 4 pot vented caliper combo to the strut on monday, and slap a wheel on it. However, I don't have a crossmember to attach it to for a test fitment (let alone fenders on a car), but it will establish good idea of clearance for front 4 piston vented conversion and I'll also test fit the wheel in hte rear with the MML 240sx conversion. That part has a fender pics to come monday or tues.
  7. Sorry for going off topic, but I never understood the concept of coming to a board, posting a message, and saying "email me".... it's not a public service... and the board DOES feature an option where if your post it REPLIED to or a PM is sent, you're notified by email... As a rule, I always ignore posts where the user says "I need help, but why don't YOU email ME, because I won't bother to check this thread for answers" That just means the question isn't important enough to the original poster, therefore not important enough to receive input from regular contributing members *steps off soapbox*
  8. Heh, I am a network administrator and system admin. I work in server room, dusty areas, go on locations where it's not clean. Crawl under people's desks to get to PCs in areas that haven't been vaccuumed in this millenia. I am expected to wear casual dress shoes, clean (not faded, this is stated in the HR policy) polo or dress shirts, and slacks. This is very efficient, of course, when I wind up walking dirty half the time, and ruin good clothes Just recently HR banned the wear of cargo pants... on every day use, including casual friday. So much for casual friday when you're only allowed either a: regular work attire from 4 other days, or b: clean jeans, tennis shoes, and a polo or hawaiian shirt.
  9. ok, on that note, I've got a better question.... If I was going to use the aforementioned setup: Fuel cell => LP pump => HP pump => engine =>fuel pressure regulator= ^ || ||================================================ (my awesome ascii diagram) Won't I need to run another FPR for the LP pump, incase for some reason it is pushing more fuel to the HP unit than necessary? At this rate, it'd be easier to do the surge tank setup, because the surgetank would be the FPR for the LP pump, correct?
  10. Yeah, what Tim said about the low pressure pumps: they can suck fuel in a lot easier than HP ones. Think about the stock Z mechanical fuel pump, it's WAY above the gas tank. Same goes for the electric fuel pump that was mounted in the back, no? I am definitely considering moving the HP pump to the engine bay, I have TONS of room there Mike: exhaust? the fuel cell is offset to the passenger side to accomodate exhaust path in stock location hard to tell, but my fart can fits in there.
  11. OK, so here's my scenario.... I've got a summit 16ga fuel cell with anti slosh foam and sump. I've got a walbro 255lph (67gph) external inline pump [see where the fuel pump sits?] The walbro unit is gravity fed, so it needs to be mounted either at the source level or below for best performance. However, with this setup it hangs low and outside of the fuel cell box, and is visible to the naked eye if one bends down, or looks through the wheel gap. I would like to eliminate this and flip my fuel cell so the sump is facing forward, but there isn't a lot of room. I was pondering last night, and thinking of surge tank setups... minus the tank. Have a low pressure flow pump feed from above the source through a couple of filters to the high pressure pump, possibly mounted in the engine bay. Flow is flow, right? So a 70gph low pressure pump does not require to be gravity fed, and should be able to provide ample fuel straight to the walbro unit, which is 67gph. Would this setup work, or should I figure out how to replumb the system with a surge tank, costing me another 400 bucks in tank, lines, fittings, etc. Which I don't want to do.
  12. wow, 60 bucks for felt and 180 bucks for ES kit...lol. 135 at summit
  13. i stand corrected, only 86 rx7 base model was 4 lug, all others were 5x114.3, which is same as the mustang 5 lug bolt pattern. Oh yeah, and the wheels have been weighed, they're 17.5lbs Any interest?
  14. For clarification, the word "smish" is what happens when you get smashed by your car, and yell "****!!!!!!!!!" because it didn't kill you, but ruined the car
  15. So their accomplishments are a bunch of whiny looking emo jacktards posting pictures of themselves on the net holding signs reading 'we're so sorry, we didn't vote for him'? that's a pretty lousy accomplishment
  16. I use either the differential itself, or what I usually do (since my car's low) is roll it up on 2x4s, jack up front, then put the jack in between the fenderwell and tire, and jack it up by the front differential mount since there's a big fat metal plate on there specifically for that
  17. no, that's the correct german swastika. The hindu swastika is 45* tilt from that: or, I should say, hitler tilted the hindu swastika
  18. CLICK! Superdan, are you aware of this?
  19. hahahahahhahaahaa f;ing jelly donut in hte face.. ahhahahahahhahahahaha sadly, i can see you doing it too!! HAHAH!
  20. do you need 17s? the only reason you'd NEED 17s are: 1. extremely huge brakes, like cobra disk conversion (13.2" rotors, i think?) 2. looks (doesn't justify needs)
  21. yeah, but fl327 has a 12a 1st gen 86 had 4 lug, after that they went to 5 lug, if memory serves, as well as 4 piston aluminum calipers
