  1. Heed moms advice, she normally RIGHT!!! Go get a switch... Growing up we used to have a tree in our back yard...now it's just a stump
  2. Ok I'm gonna throw it in here just becase... You're going to be living with a "friend" AND his wife. Do yourself a favor, no matter how it runs NEVER and I mean NEVER, become involved with HIS wife. If you do you'll find yourself in a never ending spiral DOWN to the bottom. Mike you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, I'm not discounting your age either (dumber things have been acomplished by more "mature" people in the past) but just a note. He has offered for you to live in his home, sharing the same 4 walls as him and his wife. Even if you pay them rent ALWAYS act as if you are a guest. Go get some groceries, buy the beer, take them out to dinner or slip them a gift card so they can have a nice quiet dinner together. Go on an over night trip once and a while so they can "be" with one another. Their's is a marriage, not a living situation so please respect that. Women are moody, irratable and demanding, of time, attention and $$$ . Keep yourself in check, NEVER choose sides of an argument with them, if so you may begin to be her "shoulder to cry on" and that will end it with him, your bud. Good luck and best wishes to you my man, if you really want to visit about the pitfalls of what happens to "friends" living in one home drop me a PM, no it's not about me just one of my best friends. ds
  3. Yesterday S-10 AND a Z-71 Two dadgum pickup trucks, don't know what the gut in the S-10 was thinkin' but he did give me the thumbs up. Nobody wants to play when I'm "on the prowl" grrrrrrrrrrrr ds
  4. JT1. From the initial post Are you running a billet cam? If not then no need for a broze gear on the dizzy... This is what I've been told. Next week I am going to pull my intake (friggin oil leak) so I'll check mine I've got about 1K on the engine at this point. ds
  5. OH that explains why we're back here, thought I was losing my mind...
  6. ON3GO.... When are you going to get your car to Houston???? I mean you've been buying and building, captured another Z car in FLA but you still have no Z in TX, so what gives??? Is the green Z in Fla drivable? If it is why not ship it on over to TX and finish it up? You've spent countless $$$ on the car ( I know your're in school down there), Tuned other cars given advice, come up with some wicked ideas for "old school Z cars" but yet no Z in Texas... Tell us.... What's up, I'm dying to know. OK OK I just want to see that bad ass SOB tear up some rice. David
  7. Hmmm these are the kind of questions that a thread touched upon a week or so ago.... I've got X er uh Z and want XXX hp I've never done an engine swap before will I have to do this or that and BTW what kind of rear end do I have? Oh where do I buy mounts? I got into Z cars about 4 years ago. Before I started asking a bunch of questions I did RESEARCH (books Internet searching, etc), just so I didn't come across as a newbie.
  8. Dogs kick arse!!! I've had my house broken into, my fathers home has been broken into, my car has been broken into. Now I have a dog NO PROBLEM (actually 3 dogs, wife has 2). She growls, barks and goes nutso when "unknown" people come around. So if some lousy SOB wants to open that gate or door. He's on his own. If he makes it past the dog, and I'm home. He'll be leaving on a gurney or with a severe limp I HATE THIEVES!!!!
  9. This is what I did on my vacation to Los Cabos back in January. 8 Laps on a 3 mile track. Jumps, banked curves, straight a ways... Lots of fun. Anybody ever do this? Also played a round of golf at a Jack Nickalus designed course, round of my life!!! Too bad I hit the drive of my life on 18 and hit a guy in the arm!!! Shezzz it must have been a 300 yard ++ drive. I tried to buy the "victim" dinner, pay for a massage, send a bottle of wine to his room but he politely declined. What a vacation. Rented a bug 1/2 convertible and drove it down some dry river beds, drifting it with the e-brake Vacations are sooooo fun!!! David
  10. Sound like Carnaval Conquest out of The Big Easy "Nawlins" I did that last year it was a ton of fun... Wife and I just got back from Los Cabos on 1/21/04 what a great trip. Off road driving adventure, golf, converitble bug rental. Man wish I was back there ds
  11. Terry did you snap that pic over in North Little Rock off Pike Ave? I used to live west of Pike on Crutcher, next to an elementry school back in 1991. Nice "hood" ds
  12. Just arrived at my work SWEET!!! Got them in a silver/gray material, 3". Now the rollbar needs to show up and I'll be "safe" once again. ds
  13. Another one shooting for the sky... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2457181561&category=33731&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1
  14. Dannys Datsuns I think he's in Oregon. ds
  15. Ease the car into first gear, bring up the revs, side step the clutch (yeah I’m trying to break something here) car jumps forward tires screaming and clawing for traction. In an instant the engine has reached it’s redline. Off the gas, slam second, clutch out stab the throttle again, engine wails toward its redline again. Brakes stop. Check the rear view and I’ve got to ask my self “Why does my car leave two solid back marks on the asphalt?†I don’t have an LSD, or PG in my rear. Rear tires are 225/45/17 BFG Drag radials. Is it just that my R-200 works the way it should, locking one tire when the other is spinning? No I’m not complaining either David
  16. That my friends is how you DIE by not wearing a seat belt. I don't know if he was killed or not but if the car rolled onto his mellon I'm sure there would be at a minimum some brain damage. Guess he thought a seat belt didn't save Dale Earnhardts (sp) life so it's not worth putting one on...Think I'll take a nap.... Stupid stupid stupid
  17. I saw that too and thought the secret is out Hybrids either Z or any other form or fashion are catching on. Now it may be time to start hording 240Z parts My wife almost fell out of the bed when they showed the Viper bike 0-60 in 2.5 seconds top speed of 300MPH. Don't open your mouth you'll blow your arse hole out!!! d
  18. Good deal because I found 2 complete rearends in the JY on Saturday!!! Now I just have to find out what ratio they are. Thanks, ds
  19. Will these rearends work? Just the chunk, I'll be running CV's with it em. Are these the same as an R-200 out of a 77-78 which I have in my 73Z now? Thanks for you help ds
  20. What year model Maxima did the braket come off of the the conversion to rear disks for our Z's? I might have a line on a few sets. David Oh how do I miss the search function...
  21. OK if your hand is so busted up... How in the hell did you just type this long ass post??? Must have taken a while, hope your hand heals up OK. I broke mine one time right hand above the pinky doc didn't set it right now I have a small bow in that bone. Lucky the cops didn't come and write you a ticket for blocking the inersection. Please be more careful in the future, imagne if your HEAD was under there!!! d
  22. Z-Tard what is your height and weight? Me 6'2" 225 I'm running the acura seats and I'm brushing my head on the roof d
