So I bought Mike Kellys CV axles last spring... While I'm at it; I'll swap out the rear end gearing for a 3.54 something lower than other than the 3.9 I'm running. While I'm at it... If I have to pull that rear end I've always wanted an LSD unit, go shopping... found LSD (thanks HybridZ member!!!!) Hey while I'm at it... Damn I've got a 240Z, I need to put 280Z stub axles in there to make the companion flanges fit...pound, pound, pound...grinder, cuss, machine shop order new bearings from Arizona Z car. Hey since I have the stub axles out might as well go with the full on Big Brake Kit from AZ Z!!!! Placing my order tomorrow for fronts and back disk brake kits!!! Oh sh*t while I'm at it got me again... oh well

BTW if you ever come through NW Arkansas give me a shout I've got dinner and a bed for you and the wife for a night. David

Welcome home!!!

Q. How much power can the stock rear end handle? A. As much as it takes to break it.

Nevermind I found them on your documentation site, thanks.

Terry could you post some pics of your swaybar set up? Thanks, David

Way to go Marcus!!! Puts a little coin in your pocket. How about the winners name Hue_Jole_Wang Seems pretty cocky to me haha.

jmortensen, So you're saying run a sway bar if you are running an LSD?

NW Arkansas. Booming economy home to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. I work as a vendor to W-M (Morton Salt). I am a bit underpaid in my current position but the work is not all that difficult. Houses will seem affordable to most at $110 to $135 per sq ft. There is plenty of opportunity up here for start up business etc. Seven years ago most of what we're living on now was cow pasture and chicken farms, they just leveled the old Pel-Freeze rabbit, yes rabbit, farm to make way for more new home constructon.

Haha those are up here in my neck of the woods NW Arkansas, I'll shoot the guy a message haha. David

I sent Vince an e-mail with a link to the thread. d

Maybe if we all chip in and buy this hood we can convince Vince to do one in carbon fiber???? Hmmmmm.... I'd be down for one. Anybody else?

Wow 5 years!!!! Hey how many active "charter" members still visit here regularly? I know I'm one. Feb 2000.

I've been looking at those top ones too shezzz what am I doing I got a set of 17X7 Azteks back in 3/03.

SR240Z I sent you a PM, I'd also like to see some more detailed shots of the rear of the car, looks straight forward but pretty trick too, NICE!!! Thanks!!! David

Sounds like a great idea but you may want to check that JTR spacer on your engine block in you sig pic or am I missing something here?

REDZ85 A big THANK YOU for posting and documenting the swap!!! I'm about to start on mine shortly w/CV axle conversion.

Free!!!! No really Hefe Witzen on occasion or a good Pilz from Germany, Mexiacan beer, Pacifico (sp) goes good with HOT stuff.

I'd jump on it for the price!!! BUT this won't be happening in my area of NW Arkansas Quote: planned to move to Arkansas in May/June to buy a dirt cheap house.

You guys are GREAT. Some of the businesses listed are ones that I've looked into. Dry Cleaners (we're overrun at this point) same with car washes. Five years ago I would have done either but didn't have the capital to do so, darn that's for sure. I've thought about a nice arcade next to the local movie theather, one with upperend multi player games. I'm sure I could clean up pretty good with that one. Parents could drop the kids off at the arcade then later they could go to the show. If you've ever been to an ESPN Sports Zone then you'd know what I was talking about. Of course NO alcohol, just trying to keep it family oriented. Mikelly, jiggy joint ROTFLMAO!!! First I live in a dry county, second my wife, well I'll leave it at that. JohnC PM me about plastics, I'm clueless but courious. I've got a few ideas of my own which I'll share later, after a franchise person calls me tomorrow night and we visit, I really like the idea of this business. Keep em comining!!! ds

Well the new year is in full swing and I'm looking for a new venture. I live in an area that is affluent with money and folks don't seem to mind spending it. I'm looking at a few businesses existing and starts ups too. I feel that this board taps into a cross section of America that is full of wonderful ideas. If I could ask you all a few questions. What businesses are thriving in your area? What type of business would you open if able? Now I know many of you may say, “Open a Z car business†or something related which I am not eliminating, however I am open to ALL aspects of business. Put some thought into what you recommend. Please don’t ask about my capital requirements or hijack the thread on your “brother-in-laws†business gone bad. All I’m asking for is ideas. Thanks to all in advance for your input. David

Oh and make sure the oil pump shaft points to #1 too haha silly me had it pointing to #5 for the past 1/2 hour d Maybe I'll get the car started today...

OK I'm better this morning Lisa and I are going over to her sisters home and see our nieces (5&7) open their gifts, Auntie Clause is on her way. Hope everybody has a wonderful day!!! Happy holidays. David

I want nothing for Christmas this year… As I look around my home tonight I cannot think of anything that I want for, only one thing I pray for… A child. Perhaps 2005 will be better for Lisa and me. You see we have been doing Invetro fertilization for the past 18 months. I know others on the board have done the same and my prayers go out to them, especially on this night, one of family gatherings and joy. There is a void in my life one that I cannot explain. I am 35 years old, a widower (two years ago, and I have remarried) and childless. I am married to a wonderful woman that after my tragedy saw the inner “me†and believes in him. I thank God for her every day. Although I have many material “things†Cobra, Datsun Z car, tools, nice garage, I’d trade them all in a heartbeat to have my own family. Lisa and I are here alone this evening sharing one another’s company. Right now she is making chocolate covered strawberries for the neighbors and I’m just kind of writing this note bathing in my own self pity. I still have hope, as does she, that one day soon we will be able to celebrate the holidays with our own children. We are going to do another round of Invetro and look further into adoption at the first of the year. Sorry if this brought anybody down, I guess it’s just the season. David

Just noticed a slight "ding" in my hood from the air filter hold down (grrrr) and was wondering what folks are doing for air filteration on CARBED SBC/SBF Z's My set up is JTR with 350, Edelbrock Performer RPM and Edelbrock 750 carb and a oval billet air filter. It barely taps the underside of the hood but has created a ding. Good thing I have't painted the car yet or I'd be PO'd. David
