My car is in the shop having some coilover adapters installed/welded and I asked the owner to weld in my 4 point roll bar while it's all gutted out. Is there anything wrong with building off of the roll bar? Adding a halo, a-pillar bars, and a couple cross braces going down in the hatch. Just a simple track day/ street cage, perhaps an occasional auto-x, but I don't intend to run in any serious competition.

There is a Mazda MPV van running around Seattle somewhere with a swapped VG30DETT. Nuts

lol post from another forum that went viral a few years ago. Thought it fitting there is some pretty interesting stuff in this thread. Had fun reading through it.

never ending power!

awesome! The last group order was several years ago...I think we can hold out another week or two, or however long they need Just super happy you are taking this under your wing and getting it going. Thank You!!

pm'd ya instead.

There is a thread already going on this very page. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/108070-post-your-interiors/

Jaguar C type

Here's a picture of the decals from the previous run on my quarter windows. I love em.

Definitely in for at least another hoodie, and decals.

Just announced last night. http://gopro.com Hero 3 'black edition': $399 - 4kp 12 fps, 2.7kp 30 fps - 1440p48/1080p60/720p120 fps - 12MP / 30 fps Burst - Wi-Fi Built-In - Wi-Fi Remote Included - GoPro App Compatible - Pro Low-Light Performance I already have the HD2, and I love it. Even still, I'll probably be looking to pick up one of these. The specs look awesome.

He isn't the only one! Like you said, good thing no one was hurt. You know why I earned my title? CFIT- Controlled Flight Into Terrain. I decided to blow through a stop sign, which turned out to be a T intersection. Went dukes of hazard style into some farmer's field. This was about 2 weeks after my dad and I had just spent an ungodly amount of $$ on a paint job. Thankfully, it could have been worse, and neither of us were hurt at all. Before:

Red flag...but aren't you supposed to pull to the side of the track wherever you are?

Anyone going to Formula D? I think I'm going to make the drive down there after work on saturday.

From a visit to the Audi museum at the Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt, Germany pretty cool brake cooling doo-dads

something like this? http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt93256/pd2118870/REPLACEMENT_SEAT_BRACKETS_

Little bit more done today. Still need to do the strut assemblies and a few other little bits.

Ditto, was going to ask to include the spacer thickness in the link as well. But regardless its some excellent and concise information. Well done!

Thanks! Yeah the carbs/Hayashi intake combo was a steal on ebay a little while ago. As for the coilovers, a member and vendor on this forum, Azcarbum, sells adapter kits for use with megan s13 coilovers. There is a thread in the vendor forum for more info. And in suspension tech I think... Oh, and the link to the kit here: http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt93255/pd2117800/MEGAN_COILOVER_SUSPENSION_KIT_240Z_260Z_280Z

haha you remember that eh Derek? Thankfully it did get fixed. And finally got registered for real this time, attending UND this fall. So I'm here at least until August. I'm really hoping to be able to drive the Z this summer a little before I have to put it away for a couple years.

You can find my previous thread on the progress of the car when I first got it here: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?showtopic=72073 Back story: Got the car driving about a year after high school. Drove it as a daily driver since 2007 up to a year ago, when it was parked for needing a new clutch and tires, tried to find the time but she ended up under a tarp from about April until January of this year when I finally got it in the garage and began work. Took a wire wheel to the floor boards and sprayed a few coats of Rustoleum. Then did the same to the rear wheel wells and hatch area. I've taken the transmission out a couple different times, each on my back on the floor. Didn't feel like doing that again, so I pulled the whole assembly. All it needed really was a clutch. This was the beginning of the "While I'm at it" syndrome. With the engine out, I figured I might as well clean it up a bit. Found some rust under the battery tray so thought I should make sure there wasn't more else where. The beginning: Dashboard out Passenger firewall Ground down Removing the rubber undercoating with a pneumatic air hammer. Made quick work of it Cleaned up from the outside. You can clearly see the rusted out area. I could use some advice of where to cut since that corner of the battery box needs to be replaced as well. Driver side cleaned up as well. At this point I decided that since the car was already up on jacks and the front suspension was out, I might as well take out the rear and clean that area up as well. Rear diff and fuel tank out Cleaning up rear wheel wells I bought a sandblasting pressure pot from the used/open box items at Harbor Freight. Took it home and it works great. Not having a rotisserie was quite the test of patience. I found out I don't have any..lol Lying on my back trying to shoot up at the car, my mask would fog up after only a few seconds. I ended up using a set of ski goggles which worked great, but got scuffed up pretty quickly. Worked out in the end Driveline, suspension, mounts, and fuel/brake lines laid out to be cleaned or sandblasted as well. Now for some teasers of what's to come: I'll keep updating as it moves forward. I'm planning on breaking down my junkyard L28ET this weekend and bring it to the machine shop on monday. While that's getting worked, I hope to repaint the undercarriage and wheel wells. Thanks for looking, and for everyone's advice and tips over the years!

Derek, AWESOME! I remember seeing it a few years ago, and it looks fantastic to see it all in one piece and in driving condition. Congratulations, not only on this accomplishment, but for College as well. You should be proud!

This is my car. 2004 350z blue. It has a bit of pearl in it so it looks different in the day/night.

I ran some victoracers before, and just finished a set of falkens. Both were good tires. I would buy them again if I were looking for 14's again.
