  1. My stupid car has the 80mp/h speedo...so who knows...I get there at the beginning of 3rd... Yasin
  2. Mikey - They look like Compomotive wheels from England. Yasin
  3. Rebello are making some FIERCE carb'd KA engines mostly for 510 guys...call them ask what they are using for a distributor. Yasin
  4. Thanks for the replies guys. I totally spaced that F&F Tokyo Drift crap move was out today! Makes sense. PopN - I say profiling, because if my friend was driving a Harley with exhaust that would wake-up the dead 10miles away...well guess what? He would not be pulled over and hassled - that I guarantee. Kenny- Thanks on the compliment on the 323, its one of the most fun daily drivers I have ever owned! The forum for it is http://www.mazda323performance.com and there is a Yahoo list as well. I am a pretty vocal guy and if it were me I would take it to the Court, I would be respectful and articulate but still be able to embarrass that cop until his faced turned white and would not have a leg to stand on. I have done it numersous times.....the judge usually hears me out and I pay $15 in court fees and thats it (at worst). One cop a few years ago that I made look silly in court, waited for me outside and threatened that if he ever saw me driving around late at night he would target me....LOL...bring it on jackass!

  5. Guys - Tough week at work, my best friend calls me at 9pm tonight and wants to get together at Barnes and Noble for a cup of joe, catch-up and flip through some car magazines - I guess you can call it our therapy. We stayed until 11pm (when they closed and kicked us out) and decided to head home. My buddy drives a beautiful Red Evo VIII with an aftermarket exhaust and gauges on the A-pillar. I was driving my pretty quick lil sleeper - '88 Mazda 323 fitted with a Turbo Miata motor. There are cops everywhere cracking down on the street racing scene here in Colorado Springs so we are doing 20mp/h - I kid you not! My friend gets pulled over and charged for an illegal exhaust - $60 ticket. The cop was talking that the Evo's exhaust exceeded the 90db level, how does he know this without a db meter???? Then the cop even says that he used to own a Mustang with an illegal exhaust, and sold it as he thought it unethical to give tickets for illegal mods, when his 'Stang had them. Then the cops ALSO says that he is a "car guy" that loves 'Vettes and would never pull over 'Vette!!! What a load of BS.... Then a few minutes later a block from my buddy house he gets pulled over AGAIN and charged $20 for no front licence plate! He tells the cop that he just got a ticket for the exhaust, he didn't care still wrote my friend a ticket! As the EVO came from Texas it had no bracket for a front plate and my friend had to plate in the car, which he showed the cop.. So is this profiling because of the racy image and look of the EVO? I was driving my little sleeper 18year old Mazda right behind the EVO which is pretty loud, but was not hassled...I wish I was pulled over and charged...as I get pretty lippy with the cops and love going to court and fighting them and (9.9 out of 10 times) winning. Here is my car: I am trying to persuade my friend to take it to court and fight it, but he doesn't want to miss work and the hassle of going to court so he is going to mail-in the payment(s). Your thoughts? Yasin
  6. Wow...I REALLY enjoyed that!!! I wish I could right click and save it on my PC - its definitely worthy! I love the S130 (of course) and it was great to see the MA60 Supra, the KP61 Starlet and the SA22 RX7 - Beautiful! Interesting weight loss program on the S30 cars! Yasin
  7. I am sure they will fit....would be tight...but should fit.
  8. Olie....I totally spaced that thread...thanks....just read through it. Yasin
  9. Looks like its designed to fit a RHD car as the steering linkage is right in the path of the turbo.... Question for you guys...so you think its possible to move the Turbo forward towards the front of the car using a welded U-bend where the collector is and still be able to hook-up a 3" downpipe? Any other thoughts? pics: Yasin
  10. Jay needs to know how to do a burn out...!!! He is spending too much time on steam powered monster tanks cars....that GN could have easily shamed the 'Stang...but way to go Tim! Yasin
  11. So tell me why do all the cars "bob" so much during the burn-out? Is it bacause of the street tires as opposed to drag slicks where you can do smooth even burn-out? I really enjoyed those videos, but like everyone the commentator needs to go-away! It was sad to see the 280ZX Turbo at the end of the last video limp down the track. Yasin
  12. At least she was honest! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4646843264&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT Yasin
  13. 0-SIXY in 3.6secs WHEN it runs....how could you not want this beast....LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-280ZX-1981-280zx-1981-280zx-turbo-project-car-timing-problem_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6397QQitemZ4646424836QQrdZ1 Yasin
  14. Bumble - How are you running such large injectors with the stock ECU? Did you play with your AFM? I am running the same Walbro as you but in conjuction with an Aeromotive FPR...stock injectors (for now) Yasin
  15. Wow..totally awesome! Hope to see more pics and hope all the bugs gets worked out. Yasin
  16. I have some very old Nissan magazines and brochures that show the slide mechanical fuel injection on the Group A cars similar to the Kugilfisher (spelling) on BMW 2002Tii...I was under the impression they were putting out 280hp? I'll see what I can dig-up. Yasin
  17. Up to 6-8thou is acceptable from a straight edge and a feeler gauge Looks good from the pics....I will be going down this road very shortly. Yasin
  18. I am choosing to not get into a pi$$ing contest with you..if you feel that strongly about your VG good on you. Firstly who leaves their car stock? Secondly look at the hard facts.... VG is a SOHC 12V engine 7M is a Twin Cam 24valve engine even has coil packs. Engines make power in their heads, and the 7M has a Yamaha designed head and make great power because of this. 7M have a HG problem everyone knows this, change to a HKS MHG and Bob's your uncle. Did you check out http://www.7mpower.com site....? Look at this section and I would like to hear your thoughts: http://www.7mpower.com/top10.shtml VGs can be made to make reasonably good power as well but sorry not in the same league as the 7M. Heck VG turbos are not even intercooled! The L28 has about the same power potential as the VG, so I would compare the L28 to the VG. Its like comparing the L28 to the RB2526. We agree to disagree. Have a nice day! Yasin
  19. Not at all...check your stats...and don't get upset by that fact there are more powerful engines than the one in your '84 ZX.
  20. This will make you salivate....the VG30 does not even compare......and I am Z car guy....7M is a wild beast (potentially)...if you have the funds? Ferrari killer.... http://www.7mpower.com Yasin
