  1. hmm..... I have some glass fenders by PPI as well. made in '87. I have not decided if im going to install them or sell them. im just to lazy at this point in time to deal with the fitment issues that come with glass parts. we shall see. now that I think of it, most of my series one 240Z was fiberglass, all made by PPI. they had some neat parts, inlcuding full fiberglass qtr panels with built in flairs. (still have those) im wondering if they have long since gone out of business. anywho...
  2. wow, That is just beautiful, so much so that I MUST have more info on these cars. is this a new body conversion kit or all these just two custom jobs? ive always been fond of the 240SX, I always thought it looks more like a first gen Z that the 280ZX/Z31/Z32. RWD, coupe, hatchback. me want!
  3. thats funny stuff.... take note: http://www.whitehouse.ORG
  4. its funny this should pop up, I was just looking at the member list the other day and thought the same thing. there are also several members that register two or six different spellings of their name. and then never post. should just send them and email and if they dont respond then delete delete delete.
  5. 65$ for shipping? I dont think so, Ive been shipping large and heavy items for a while now,and can tell that this guy is rippping somebody off. I got a complete S14 LSD shipped from japan for 65$
  6. Yeah, some jackass hit my car at the body shop...he works at the shop next door and jsut walked off. when i confroted him he was liek "whatever, i just bumped it" he broke the passenger side suger scoop all to hell. what an ass. he didnt even care. I was honestly giving him so much shit I was waiting for him to make the first move and through a punch. im not a violent person, far from it, but that would have made my day. GRRRRRRRR... still pissed off. called the owner, and he didnt give a rats bum about it either, he said "the front of your car was on our property. so tuff sh1t" jerks, my body man is of course a wizz with fiberglass and claims he can fix it, also said that its inside now and will not sit outside until its ready for you to pick it up. whenever he finishes it. man im not happy about that at all. bah....whatever....im just thankful he didnt back into my intercooler. guess i should be greatful to that sack of crap. anywho....sorry to jack your thread. because its all custom. thats just the way it works. welcome to the "fun" side of things....just thing of the reward when you get to drive it. "I built this"
  7. LMAO! yet again aux, dont know what you do all day to find this stuff. Im thinking i need to send this link to the Girlfriend and get her approval. "just think of it honey...after the wedding we can just let the kids bounce around in the church."
  8. to bad i dont live in FLA anymore mike, I would just go over there and get it sorted out for you. it will work out though. just be glad you didnt see your car get backed into today
  9. have him take a picture of the strut assembly with no tire and post it here, we will figure this out.
  10. There is a guy in San Anotonio that does "midnight" or "black" chroming. alamo plating. this was a couple years ago last time I checked, but from my info his business is going strong. If not, im sure there are plenty of platers in mexico that can do it. Dont know if I would trust them though.
  11. yes, a couple of times today, and a few last week. I just hit refresh over and over again till i get through. gotta feed the addiction!
  12. The one with the most HP (thrust) naturally!
  13. that fighter over water vid is great, been looking for that one for a while now. also, this year at the SA air show, during their practice sessions on thursday a tomcat broke the sound barrier, lucky for the pilot, there were no reports of broken windows, just people scared sh!t73ss! I know it woke up alot of people where I work.....to bad I wasnt out side to see it. jets are fun expensive toys. to bad they are not as affordable as Zcars. I would have more than a few!
  14. Bwahaha, not yet gentlmen, Ive got some time before I hit the grandfather mark (umm...as far as I know anyway ) Should have read "grandfather clause" and no hes not related to santa clause....so didnt get any bright ideas!
  15. are you saying that you cant legally tint your windows in cali? that sucks. In texas you can tint your windows, but you have to stay within a 45% light transmition range (dont hold me to that). hmmm...im hoping i dont get pulled over in my 240ZT, I just had them double tinted with limo tint 8) im probably going to get hassled for it, but hope i can get away with it under the grandfather rules in the law. we shall see. im not going to be driving it that much anyway.
  16. geez. I would have need a new pair of shorts after that. But what a great feeling it must have been. poor guy. 8)

    wow, thats some really great work. I wish I could be that productive when im bored make a few and throw them up on ebay. you might be surprised at how much people would pay for something like that. very cool.
  18. "what else floats......ummm..... a duck" "right!. therefore if she weighs as much as a duck....." "shes a witch!!!!!" best MP movie EVER! are you suggesting that coconuts migrate? anywho....about that car. I wonder what the torque steer is like. its a four door too! awesome....I hope that some day people will pay me to build crazy things like that. fun fun fun
  19. mike, dont do orange. we dont want two turbo orange first gens in texas now do we?
  20. now that I can look at them again without ralphing... they remind me of the split bumpers that where one the 1600-2000 fiat convertables. *shiver* make it go away!
  21. so im on my roof today watching the blue angles perform, then it hits me! I should have my video camera! so i shoot down the ladder and grab the digicam, but i only got a high speed pass by a single plane! darn, maybe next time. its still pretty cool just how close to the ground they are. sometimes its good to live next to an airforce base. (right click and save as) AVI video, 1.58 MB http://www.fastercar.com/sparky/plane.avi enjoy. I just wish I would have caught some manuvers, they were on the same flight path as this single. BAH!
  22. "Now in california Torrance area my Friend hunger inside still keeping. first contact send mail then go to hunger with my Friend, then Checking the KIT!! if you want Turn Key car want I`m recomend replica Specialist!! " classic engrish. the world is a funny entertaining place.
