that engine bay is too clean...no cyclinders (brakes,slave) or anything..wow...but then one little throttle cord on the top...i found that funny.

this is the greatest thing i ever heard....renting cars to beat them..then return with 50% less tire tread and a worn clutch...the life!

that really is a good pic...id give it an -A just cuz its too perfect...jealous maybe.

ditto here...we go dumpster diving in the art dept. for metal and stuff..they just throw it away..."one mans trash is another mans treasure"

looks like the planets around the sun....somebody put an extra coat of wax on the car b4 they went out that day..

i wonder what happens when u die...does he still turn inside out...lol

someone has had a very buzy summer! good job

it would just be for trail purposes anyway...gotta wait till school starts to work this out..

yeah..i feel u on the gas thing...when i get workin on my z...i think ima just drain out the gas tank...i wonder if i take the plug off will i be able to put it back on?...lol..only one way to find out

the car looks confused...

good idea...i will look into that...the hard part would be coming up wit a test method for it...i once played with the idea of making the runners out of pcv piping just to test different runner lenghts and plenium cambers to see with derivation of the equation worked the best...

good buy!...i just got a 260z in good condition too...welcome to the club

very clean install...

has the car been sitting...cuz mine has and its gonna need atleast a new fuel filter or eletric fuel pump....but man u should hear that thing wit some starting fluid....ROOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

if u have any spares i would luv to have one to go water sking on...the name of the car fits the tire...imagine pullin up at a street light to that!

I have been playing around with the Helmholtz equation for some time now (FSAE) and havent gotten good results with it...espically because there are so many different variations of it around...i've seen examples of its useage with old mopar enignes wit "ram intakes" and through FSAE...but i dont know of anyone that has gotten a good grip on this idea besides the basics of how it works...has anyone used this idea on a NA setup?

thats for the info braap...i dont mean to side track the conversation since im new with engine flow i thought id put a question out there...how useful is Helmholtz equation...id been playing around with it sometime for my school's FSAE program but neva got around to testing it...plus there are so many different variations of it that makes me wonder how does one get good information out of it?...also i was just wondering how much better the air flow with a process like the one your going through. i understand that there are other variables that will give different hp/tq readings i was thinking more as a nondimensional number not anything standard...i was just thinking it the engine flows better maybe it can handle more rpm...given that the engine has the correct equpiment...please do comment back if u have the time. fyi, im just a geek that likes to look at numbers...i blame it on school :-/ i posted the question in the other link too just in case u dont wanna answer it here.

reminds me of that mustang that was running away from the cops....the coolest thing i seen on the internet...except for the part when he gets caught :-/

i always wonder about the air flow differences b4 and after a process like this...i know its a huge difference...just wondered if there are any numbers on it...espically b/w diff wall finishes...

There will be a pick up once all us newbies get a grip on what we want to do with our cars....i mean i would post more but the answers i need can be found with a search...or through a phone convo with other z members...anytime minutes:rolleyesg

knock on the body to see if its metal or bondo....some people that sell Zs just put bondo over bad spots to cover them up....good find thou..

wow....that would be a fun ride to have at six flags...makes me wanna go paintballin...

its understandable...dont know about the others but im prolly gonna leave the "meet" at 5 to head back up to Ithaca for work the next day....when is everyone else plannin on leavin?

Any schedule for the day clive? Need to know ahead of time for the drive back up to Ithaca.... P.S. i will be in your garage all day saturday...just a heads up.... do u have a spare battery laying around in there?
