Any update on this project? I'm looking at a mercedes supercharger for my project as well.

I don't want to hijack Ztards thread too much. Got any audio samples for us? I would be interested to hear the clean tones. Yep, I'm runnning a Graphtech Ghost system in the bridge.

Very cool. Here are some pictures of the guitar I built myself just a few months ago. http://www.coldfusionracing.com/Strat/

Your recommendation for paint in the Houston area

Yep, I'll drive to Dallas, San Antonio, or Austin as well. -
Do anyone know of a decent shop for getting my 280z repainted in the Houston area? I'm a college student, so obviously the multi-thousand dollar jobs are out of my range, but I definitely don't want a roll on job either. I would be fine with doing as much disassembly and prep work as I can to cut down on the final cost. It's just the actual process of spraying which I lack the skills and equipment for.

Update. We're getting all the things worked out with the prototype. The expected delivery date from the machine shop is October 20th. If you are sure that you will be wanting one, PLEASE EMAIL ME. I want to have a definite list to make sure that I don't forget about anyone. webmaster@coldfusionracing.com

I just did the same thing. They look great, problem is I wired something wrong and now half of them aren't turning on. Time to take the dash off again...

The glare was bad the first day, but as time goes by it's loosing it's sheen. I didn't get a chance to weigh it, but I would say it's about 4lb-5lb heavier. Today was the first time I actually got to drive the car! It was also the first time I had ever attempted to drive a stick. Despite being yelled at by my dad, I think it went quite well. Also importantly, the engine seems to be running great. From a couple missed shifts, I found that it revs quite nicely to 6k

Believe me, you guys don't want to know the cost of getting them made of 1" stock.

It, along with the caliper, are on their way to Sparky.
-
Quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever seen...
-
Thanks Davy! Maybe it'll start a new trend in dashboard repair
-
$150, including sanding and prep.

I got my dash back from Star Auto today, who did the bedliner coating. They said they've never done anything like this before It hid all the imperfections pefectly, and it was a heck of a lot cheaper then a new 280z dashboard.
-
Probably 15-20.
-
I could easily do 1/2, it's just a matter of a slight increase in cost.
-
I promise, I'll have something really really interesting to show on Monday. How well this idea will turn out, I have no idea....
-
Got the rear cargo area done today. I'm very happy with the way it came out. The panel is hinged in the middle for easy removal.
-
True, I wasn't thinking there. It would be easy enough to change the pattern on the hat, but as for the hub itself...
-
Quite possible, it would just require a small machining fee.

After some panic about head gaskets, I got Tom on the phone. 5 minutes later we had it fixed. Turns out the cold start valve died, shooting coolant in the intake. No more smoke, and a nicely running engine. Seems like a successful night.
-
How much smoking is normal after a manifold seal replacement? I got home from work today and ran it for about 5 minutes. I know I spilled some coolant while replacing the thermostat housing gasket, but that should burn off quickly. There is no smoke from the engine compartment, but there is a lot coming from the exhaust. It is grey to almost white, with a faint smell of toasted coolant. What I can't figure out is why it keeps coming from the tailpipe, how is it getting there?

Anno will probably be $5. I've got a great connection for it, quality stuff.
