  1. i forgot you didnt swap it in yet...looks beefy!
  2. i went to the NC car show ... big difference from NYC...aka none of the cool cars were there
  3. that video on the track is such a tease...
  4. that is pretty funny... but love that that webber sound. It just demands attention
  5. let me know if you need anything down here. -jr this thread should be forwarded to our brothers at Zcar...
  6. sparks i was just in your neck of the woods looking at a blue 240z. I should have said i am looking for a manual Z but have already added the green one to my calling list...
  7. Hi I'm in the market for a 240 - 280z in good conidition. The z should have a solid body and mechanically in shape...budget is around 4000... thanks JR flames_187@yahoo.com p.s. i live in the raleigh area or north carolina.
  8. i noticed that in the catalog too...since i like the service at msa i wont trash on them for it...
  9. i've finally got a chance to post your pics from the glen...it wasnt sunny that day so the camera phone didnt take the best of pics...
  10. I'm still waiting on those HD quality videos...jk good luck with finishing it up and the new job
  11. Right without the muffler ofcourse...but 500+ i think would be for a stainless steel exhaust. im pretty sure you can get a 3in Aluminum alloy(not sure of the compound) exhaust made for around 300-400.
  12. lol, i always wonder why they charge so much for downpipes on ebay, msa, ect. the only thing they weld on is the bung and turbo flange. like cygnus says, just have an exhaust shop make the WHOLE thing for you. I'm shooting for 3in all the way back. shouldnt be much more than what your paying for just the downpipe .
  13. you guys to have good points. Looks like i have alot of cutting to do this weekend. Its actually a 260z the forgotten z at i refer to it as. I took the last 2 weekends off just to clear my head and body of metal and sand. I had nightmares of falling off rust chasing me; i woke up right before it caught me (lol). I think i will just do what cygnusx1 said, fix the spots and use it as a beater. I mean i still have this turbo motor waiting patiently to be stuck in the engine bay.
  14. Hi guys It has been a while since i post anything relevant on hbz. for the most part of the summer i have took on the project of replacing my floors. You don’t really notice how big of a job this is until you actually do it. Especially if your work on the weekdays and can only get stuff done on the weekends. I did all the cutting, welding, patch panels myself and i can honestly say body work isn’t for me. Atleast not a huge project like replacing floorpans. I finally got the floors in and decided to get the engine bay sandblasted to check for any hidden rust and to repaint. [NOTE: i am a idiot for not doing this first and i learned the hard way] here is what i found. This part is rust on both sides. Whoever did the patchwork before just covered the rust with very thin gauge metal and sprayed a ton of undercoat on to hide the mess. Where every you see a patch there is hidden rust under it. There is prolly more hiding under the undercoat, I couldn’t scrap it all off because i had to go home to mow the lawn ( :-/). Some of the areas where the rust are is very hard to get at and seem to be a critical part of the structure of the car. and now i am thinking i should try and find a shell even thou i got the floors about 90% in (sealer and close some drill holes i missed). What is you guys opinion, should i continue or try and find a new shell before i get past the point of no return.
  15. ehhh, could use a tune up....jk lol hurry up and get it done so i know for sure that i have a ride to the car show...
  16. LOOOOL...i was just thinking about it...and ummmm...make sure you cover that bad boy up in the city....cant let the cat out the bag that there is an ls1 Z in town...you know everyone will be at your dads shop after that.
  17. This is the same way all the movies end...where the villan seems to be dead but then he moves like a toe or something then the credits role. i'll remind EVILC that he said the samething about COLLEGE 4 years ago;ask him how that ended...
