  1. the turbo should break up the exhaust pulses enough to get rid of that bumble bee sound.
  2. Wow Vinh, your car looks great, I was a little undecieded about the rear end treatment but it really does work well, great work!
  3. LMAO Dan, thats exactly what I was thinking.
  4. Hey MYRON, glad to hear that your making some progress, and basically stealing a car! thatsahellofa great deal you got! -S

  6. http://downforce-sportscars.tripod.com/urheiluautot/id10.html weird,
  7. LMAO, Nice garage mods! Youre car is really coming along nicely, I cant wait to see it painted, but think it might be worth the extra work to get it super low....one more year isnt that bad really, as long as you stick with it. incredible work.
  8. oh...never got to my point in the last post. I have the money....but no time. I dont even have time to change the oil and the struts in my Honduh, let alone a swap that will need some constant tweeking an work in order to be reliable. ALSO, I will have my summers, but will be in different country each summer until 2007. hope time flys, I want to drive a pressurized ZED. I might just get a dastchund and name him ZED, get my fix ya know....
  9. Yeah, You can get the 1JZ for a good price, but being an architecture major is SOOOOO fricken time consuming. I quit my job and got some lones so I concentrate on school and maybe still have a social life. But....School is now my job as i'm here 12-15 hours a day, desiging this, building that, drawing this, reading that. hope its worth it in the end. after all, I did sell my '73, and all of my spare parts.....I have just enough to put the 72T together, but I cant drive it when its done because I live downtown, and there is no way in hell my turbo car is sitting on the street in my ghetto ass nieghborhood. arrrrr, besides that, I think its time for me to get a nicer, newer dailydriver that I can still fix up, but not so much that its a target for thives or other misc riff-raff, arseholes. mike, got some subaru knowledge? the sights ive been looking at ar in need of some serious orginization.
  10. Mike, You and I are on the same page. My dad drives the first year SC300, and every time I do work on it I cannot help but think S30. I WILL build a 2JZ or 1JZ powered Z in the near future. I would actually like to build a NA version with some triples on it.........just because I can. more than likely though It will be a Single turbo 2JZ. maybe if I convert it to individual TBI system I can get the look of triples, but with boost, and FI. drool drool drool. But all this will have to wait until I graduate and get a "real" job.
  11. Cody I have some really bad pictures on my very dated webpage located here: http://fastercar.com/sparky/z/ I will look for some better pictures in the enxt few days if you like....
  12. The bell group also made a cast adapter for the N42 NA exhaust manifold, its L shaped, with the bottom corner of the L an outlet for a wastegate, flange is T4. I'm using this right now on my 240Z, I really like the way it throws the turbo up front, and gives you plenty of room for a 3-4"DP I have now idea how it performs as the milage i have on the 240ZT is 300Miles at best. Im sure that a stock T-Manifold performs better. I just used what I had.
  13. I really like the first gen celica, maybe when I have loads of cash Ill add one to my collection anywho, check out this site:http://www.nostalgic.co.jp/photomovie.htmfor more pictures likes this: LaterZ
  14. I love those wheels on old-skool AE86s or 200SX's. I feel they define 80's Vintage J-spec.
  15. that mini has been shortened by a couple of inches, I'm sure purpose built for that kind of racing. very cool vid though,
  16. ...It's got to be those tail lights.....good god!
  17. All you need to do is carry around one of those plastic clamping dinosour heads on a stick things, and just jab that thing out the window with a jaw full of change. although that might be considered assault in some states.
  18. Wow, That is a VERY cool thing to do. But Im wondering if that would ever happen in the US? I unforunatly have my doubts. its a nice thing to see and restores my weekend outlook. thanks for posting that Aux.
  19. Man thats totally photoshopped! boooo!
  20. Ah yes, C.O. poisoning, I know her very well. I helped a friend of mine pick up some E30 parts once (a door and two fenders) the only running car we had was the S30, so off we went to a south side junk yard (45 minute drive one way.) when we got there we couldnt get the hatch closed so we just tied it down as far as it would go, it was still open around 10 inches. The drive back was a nightmare, you could smell all the exhaust fumes coming into the car and we couldnt do shiat about it. it also didnt help to get stuck 410/35 traffic on the way back. five hours later I was puking my guts out, eyes were burning and red, couldnt stay awake, hot one minute cold the next, etc etc. the next morning I was still puking and still had a fever, but it cleared up by mid afternoon and I never drove with the hatch open again. the end.
  21. Pyro, I expect to see you and your car the san antonio Z-club meeting this tuesday at chesters hamburgers on the 410 access road right after broadway (if heading north) meeting starts at 7:30....be there or be square. that is all.
  22. I love 510s I love striaght 6's I love ZG flares I love big brakes I love wagons I love turbos I love HP thats one very cool dime.
