I can vouch for the quality of the parts at Too Intense Restorations, top quality and easy to deal with. Those lenses will require a little bit of rewiring but not anything that is beyond your ability.

Are you just posting to up your count? Jeez dude read the post, learn who is who on the board, then respond. Mull lives in Sweden, forget it. He says WHY in his post.

We dodged the bullet over here in NW Arkansas. I spoke with a guy in SW Tulsa yesterday, he said it was bad, trees down everywhere, no power. Been there done that, don't want to go there again. Feel blessed you have power!!!

Last time I checked they were $253 each. Part numbers are 63100-N4700 and 63101-N4700. Sorry didn't write down which was left and right.

I took mine (although it's a T-5 slave) to a hydrolic hose fabricator and hooked me up with a steel braided line all the correct fittings etc for $50. Might want to check that option. D

To be quite honest...unless you're going to be tracking the Z the 6 piston calipers are overkill, yes nice, but the standard AZ Wilwood brake kit will put you through the windshield if you don't have your harness on, yes harness Nice set up all the same!!! Did you go with their full suspension kit? Good to see your and your son spending quality time together.

A Thanksgiving tribute..... This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and therestaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice'sRestaurant.You can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantYou can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantWalk right in it's around the backJust a half a mile from the railroad trackYou can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantNow it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago onThanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at therestaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in thechurch nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray andFasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot ofroom downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn'thave to take out their garbage for a long time.We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd bea friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. Sowe took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VWmicrobus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headedon toward the city dump.Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across thedump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dumpclosed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove offinto the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of theside road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of thecliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pileis better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up wedecided to throw our's down.That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgivingdinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until thenext morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton ofgarbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." AndI said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelopeunder that garbage."After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone wefinally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go downand pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at thepolice officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with theshovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward thepolice officer's station.Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done atthe police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal forbeing so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, andwe didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us outand told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's stationthere was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we wasboth immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think Ican pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.Get in the back of the patrol car."And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to thequote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town ofStockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stopsigns, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to theScene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted toget in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds ofcop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, andthey took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circlesand arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what eachone was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not tomention the aerial photography.After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to putus in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want yourwallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting mywallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do youwant my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." Isaid, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out thetoilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he tookout the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll thetoilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obiewas making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a fewnasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went backto the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-tencolour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the backof each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossypictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and hesat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at thetwenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrowsand a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circlesand arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of Americanblind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and thejudge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossypictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of eachone explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. Andwe was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats notwhat I came to tell you about.Came to talk about the draft.They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination oneday, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, soI looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted tolook like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wantedto feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York,and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and allkinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gaveme a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, Iwanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore andguts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," andhe started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and downyelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."Didn't feel too good about it.Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections,detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to meat the thing there, and I was there for two hours, three hours, fourhours, I was there for a long time going through all kinds of mean nastyugly things and I was just having a tough time there, and they wasinspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving nopart untouched. Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see thelast man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big thing there,and I walked up and said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only gotone question. Have you ever been arrested?"And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre,with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and allthe phenome... - and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you evergo to court?"And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-tencolour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph onthe back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I wantyou to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W'swhere they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army aftercommitting your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty uglylooking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Fatherrapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! Andthey was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on thebench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanestfather raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to meand said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the benchthere, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till Isaid, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on thebench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds ofthings, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held itup and said."Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-officer's-name-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked forforty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we hadfun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there,and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote itdown there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down thepencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on theother side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else onthe other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read thefollowing words:("KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?")I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall toask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'msittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me andsaid, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprintsoff to Washington."And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is astudy in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'msinging you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similarsituation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in asituation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk intothe shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can getanything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, ifone person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick andthey won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking insingin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's anorganization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I saidfifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant andwalking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, andall you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on theguitar.With feeling.

My experience is with POR-15. If you're working with bare metal just use their etching chemical and then paint witht the POR-15. As opposed to regular paint POR-15 is very durable. I like to coat with POR-15 then go back over with matt finish spray for a toned down look. Example:

Are you a member of HAZCC?

Guys, Brian is a MONSTER!!! He shows up at a little after 1PM to pick up my hoist and brings it back around 6ish. I've seen his car in person and he is taking NO short cuts in making a world class car, attention to detail is through the roof, way to go Brian!!!

So how would it work for the GM guage? I stink at electronics/electrical work.

Brian, did you get my PM? Started on my 240 last night, didn't get far, just removed wires and pulled the dizzy/plug wires.

Wow you've been here < a month and that is your first post!!! I don't expect you to stick around too long:nono:

I picked up this car back in 1999, did the JTR swap then my life went south. Since then I remarried, bought and sold my FFR Cobra, changed jobs, bought the Scarab and had twin boys. This car was "shelved" after Branson Z fest 2005 and NO work has really been done to it. The 350 has low oil pressure so I decided bite the bullet and build the Z I always wanted. After reading and searching what works, what is tasteful to me, what power level I want etc I've come up with the following. Engine: Balanced and blueprinted 383 forged stroker with a 100HP shot of NO2 (Eagle 4340 crank, ESP 6.0" Hbeam rods, Mahle coated pistons) Trick Flow heads solid roller cam Gforce geared T-5 LSD CV conversion AZ Brake kit MML coil overs ZG Flairs G nose Sport Max wheels/Rota RB's from the GB. That's the short list for now. I've gathered just about all the parts and some are on the car already such as the LSD, axels, brake kit and wheels. So here it is at home, dirty, missing its airdam and ready to be wrenched on.

Nice price for a nice part. Keep us posted on your progress with this part

NICE!!! We didn't have anything like that when I was on active duty.

Looks like an EXCELLENT candidate for a V-8 conversion!!!!

GOOD NEWS ON TWO FRONTS!!!! First my rotating assembly came in, well the crank is still in transit but on it's way, arriving today or tomorrow. The better news is that I called Summit Racing to verify what heads I purchased back in 2001 and to my suprise I've got the correct springs in the heads, they are the part number TFS-30400003 (not 30400002 like I thought). Here are the specs: Maximum Valve Lift (in):0.600 in. Outside Diameter of Outer Spring (in):1.460 in. So I'm moving forward!!!!

Looks good. I've been using POR-15 on my Z's for years. There product line has increased with newer items that are equally impressive. Their high heat coatings are great they don't burn off on exhaust parts, a product called metal mask is great for resto work when you want an original metal look like on tie rod ends etc. Metal mask on the steering rack (silver looking).

Somebody else had a "free" image hosting site posted on Hybridz a few years ago. It was called onclickpix.com. I stored my pics there, paid the $10/year after the initial "free" year. Then the site went away, along with my pictures. Sorry, I'll pass.

You missed a GREAT S30, Pound9oh9 sold his 350/T-56 for what some spend on just an engine. Are you looking for a project or turn key or ????

Follow me, it's going to be a slow build but the end results will be well worth the wait... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=126721

So do I need different valve springs? Would I need to machine the spring seats for larger diameter springs or could the current springs be shimmed? Piston to valve clearance, if the block has NOT been zero decked I should have a little extra clearance or not? What would you recommend doing?

We bought an 07 Odyssey Labor Day weekend, traded in an 03 Pilot love the extra room. You think you have a lot of stuff with a 9 month old I've got 22 month old TWINS!!! Getting the boys in and out is a breeze compared to the pilot or any SUV for that matter. You don't have to lift them UP to get them in. The Odyssey rides like a car, I can't wait to take it on a trip.
