    The human race....never ceases to amaze and astound!

    Many, many race cars use it. I've used it myself on a race car, but a street car is a different story altogether. Be a real bummer if your battery went dead while sitting in bumper to bumper slow moving traffic In Los Angeles you'd likely get shot! Tim

    High end car would have a high end paint job....therein lies the rub (no pun intended). Those cotton towels are not that soft. I always use cheese cloth. Tim

    I put in a couple of pieces of the aluminum/bubblewrap/aluminum sheeting that I used in the interior as sound/heat deadening. It's about the same thickness as the foam, but won't hold water. I also sealed the cowl with silicone (made a gasket bead and let it dry before replacing the cowl), so no wash water (car will never see rain ) will get in there. Condensation should be able to escape via the drains. Tim

    Chuck, After welding mine up, it took about 50 hours to get it straight again, and I had to do a lot of metal work to recreate the cowl bulge body line. If I were to do it over I would not! I was class of 1993. Environmental science major. I used to bartend at the Creekside Lodge.....major 'towny' bar. Tim

    Hey Chuck!! I went to University in Shippensburg.... I still wouldn't weld on it, and would even hessitate grinding on it. Tim

    Mike, All my vinyl was tan, and summarily tossed in the trash. I even tore out the vinyl on the windshield pillars and the headliner and made new with 1/4 inch foam and black vinyl. I also covered all the plastic panels with same foam and vinyl. All gauges are 2 5/8, except tach and speedo (5"). The starter button is S2000 oem. Tim

    I wouldn't use a plastic backing. Use a piece of sheetmetal and some body panel epoxy (available at any body supply shop). PLastic has a different expansion rate than the host metal, so I can see problems down the road. Grind on the metal first to give the filler a good rough surface to bite to. Treat the panel with some rust converter first. That filler is a good product. Make sure it is the short strand, not the long strand. Long strand is a bitch to work with. Tim

    I will be sending Dan the extra $$ from the Shirts and Cap sales. It's not much, but if anyone wants to contribute, you're welcome to send to my paypal....just put something in the title so that I know what's going on. Thepburn@semprautilities.com If anyone is curious as to when and how much is sent to Dan (or just think I'm a no-good, low-down, dirty, rotten scum ball), let me know and I will forward the Paypal confirmation.

    Hmmm...Mark, maybe bad luck or bad cell? I have known many, many racers (including my father) who have used the same cell (in very harsh, ie hot climates) for decades with no problems. Aluminum cells are great, but good ones are a bit more expensive than the plastic ones and have a tendency to crack if not mounted in such a way to reduce vibration transference from the vehicle. One point is that the aluminum ones are easier to repair. Tim

    Best way to find out is to give DOT a call directly. I have spoken to them before and also Customs (sorry I don't have contact details anymore for you ). They were very helpful, so maybe give it a try. Tim
  23. Tim240z
    Doesn't really matter. Some people don't like the plastic ones because they have gotten a bad reputation for deforming, but that is due to lack of adequate venting. Tim

    You won't need a return line, unless you plan on using a fuel pressure regulator that requires a return. So......plug one of the outlets, or use both into a 'Y' block. Up to you. Tim

    For 900 bucks that's a steal. Tim
