I sort of recall hearing on one of those "SPEEDCHANNEL" shows that the SuperBird's rear wing was also effective as a vertical stabilizer, like the tail on a Cessna or a rudder on a boat. This kept the rear end from swinging around in the turns. (note how thick the verticals are AND shaped like airfoils AND are placed outboard-in the airstream-not behind the roof). Downforce was good, but traction with tire rubber technology 34 years ago.....

Here you go. They are in Scorpion GTZ's online catalog..... http://www.scorpionzcars.com/pages/hoodlatch_jpg.htm

I want that custom polisher on the front side panel.

In the end, a T-56 sounds cheaper and more easily sourced.

I want higher gears than 3.54:1 and cheaper than a new gearset. 3rd mem pumpkins are $50.00 and the local wrecking yard. Has anybody ever found a ultra-rare 3.36:1 R200 in a wrecking yard? I've always wondered why 6 cyl. auto Maximas don't have higher gears - (maybe they do but in a R180) Where else should I look? Anybody owned one in the only stock Z application? - 1979 280ZX 4 speed

Check the radiator hoses. I have a a '66 Mustang (289 with power nuthing) that made me crazy boiling over in the winter!! Turned out to be the lower radiator hose was collapsing due to the inner-support spring being rusted away and the suction of the water pump would kink and seal the hose - only at freeway speed - it would cool fine in stop-and-go traffic.

Reminds me of the video of the old lady that drove her Lincoln locomotive past the barricades and into a flooded street. The car drowned, and she had to be carried out. She had the nerve to talk to the news cameras , blast the city and complain that the barricade should also have a sign that said " Don't drive your car into the water". Seems there are also senior members of the population who shirk responsibility for their actions. I suppose those necessary signs should also be printed in English and Spanish.

WOW this new airdam makes a lot of downforce!

I guess "Civic Style" is a 4-door sedan with seating for 7. Anybody listen to "Car Talk" on NPR? One caller was looking for a new car with long leg room. He went to the Ford dealer and asked to test drive a Crown Victoria. The salesman told him he was a nice guy to come check out a car for his grandfather.

It's the day after...... and????.......

This is just my opinion I think that is deliberately misleading. Even with 2 sizes of type, the PHOTO should have shown a book - not car parts.

I don't know if rear rotors go that thick. Most I have seen are 0.750". for example: '88 Mazda RX-7 (with 5-bolt hubs) rear rotor is vented & 0.750" thick. Its rear caliper has e-brake. Toyota Supra (with 4-bolt hubs) rear vented rotor is .750, but a separate e-brake inside the hat. Sterling (Acura) by Honda (with 4-bolt hubs) rear vented rotor is 0.750".

Not Z-specific, (Its a leaf-spring car) But a good article on what they do and how to build from scratch, problem solving...etc. http://www.2quicknovas.com/subframeconnectors.html

And the award for best sphincter....ooops, actor goes to..... Saddam's propaganda works on 'people who live in America' also. (I hesitate to call them Americans).

Here are the hold-downs on my Burago car. Too bad they are only 1:18 scale...... and a little out of proportion.

This month's Kit Car Builder magazine has a feature on Rory Bateman's Tomahawk kit for the 300ZX. It's a body restyle that looks like a Cobra - convertible!

So those interruped passages are useless, air flows in but not out - he must have measured 35 psi on the inlet side!!! I think it looks like that intercooloer only needs to be half the height to clear *something* and do the same job.

CUT slot across the screw head for a flat blade screwdriver. Use a hacksaw - not a power (dremel would be tempting) tool - sparks in the gas tank would not be good.
