You're fine man, just find any motor you like that is the same year or newer and you wont have any issue. When you do the swap they just give you a new tag for what car/truck you are supposed to be as. So if you swap in a ls1 from a 00 firebird that's the smog laws you will then need to fallow. Btw you are considered a car if your license plate is a number than 3 letters than 3 more numbers. Light duty trucks are a number than a letter followed by five more numbers in Cali.

Good point on Amsoil, I change my oil twice a year or every ten thousand miles, filter changes every 5k. It works out to be cheaper than doing mobil 1 every 3k by a nice bit and I trust it far better.

The sending unit caused the problem for me, swapped in a new one and all is well.

Napa Gold = re-bagged Wix filter which imo is probably the best filter out there.

But it's Vallejo...

I haven't tried these but sense I have an extra set of HID's i would like too. Also remember that HID's run cooler than Halogens since they are a lower watt bulb.

You can see my house from state, right across from the SDSU light board, big white retaining wall. Or the driveway full of black cars. I think were at 6. lol.

Brett, I'm in Del Cerro by state.

That thing was scooting and gripping! Price tag is not bad considering the class of cars they are shooting for.

Four would do it for me. -My 1973 240Z track car -Dakota R/T -1970 Challenger T/A -And a a nice econo car, maybe a 325i Next project after I finish the Z is selling my 03 Dakota R/T and picking up a 97-99 dakota regular cab for a Viper motor / 6 speed swap.

Anyone seen this yet? http://www.msdignition.com/2007/blasterefi.html Looks pretty nice to me and if it's made buy the guys that did Big Stuff 3 it can't be bad.

I was swapping manifolds on my truck, done it plenty of times so I was just racing threw it. Got it done, quick check, fire it up, let it run for a bit, change the oil all seems well. Get out on my "test" road and have to see how the new manifold works so I nail it, get it up to 90 and all hell breaks loose. She bucked, sputtered, backfired than finally died. Tow it home and start to check, turns out I set the manifold down on the crank position wire. Just pinched it, but enough to melt the wire and let it arc all over the place. I quickly swapped back to stock and had it towed in for warranty. They replaced the CPS, PCM, distributor and the body control modual. Thank god for warranty and the "I dunno what happened, it just died" line. I double check things now.

"thing is how would you route it that way just to get a little boost? "

Looks like a nice company, wish I could find a place to pay for college out here.

Internal ceramic coating goes a long way, we've ran 11:1 compression on a completely iron motor on 91 octane with out issue. Basic Fuel injection, no knock sensors, just a good tune and a close eye on the wideband.

Reminds me of a truck in our truck club, guy did the same thing, except for side by side. It's an attention grabber, that's all. You can make more power with one blower than two...

Thats just it, cost is hard to talk myself into. But the perks of them do sound quiet nice. I think I'm gonna do it, what the hell.

I'm in need of a new rear control arm for my 240 after getting ran off the road and snapping the arm were the swaybar mounts up. I had ordered a brand new stocker threw nissan for $100 bucks, but got a call back saying they are no longer made. So the question is, do I hunt around for another stocker or use this as an excuse to pick up some adjustbale ones?. I've pretty much sold myself on Adjustables, just having a hard time telling the sensible half of my brain to shut up and let me order them. Any opinions from people who have them on a street driven Z?

Think of it this way, you want bigger disc you get a bigger rotor, it's a height thing. So you need a bigger rim with a more expensive tire. It gets costly quick. For drums it's just more width, something a large truck and big rig has lots of space for. Also drum pads last longer than truck ones, so there is less maintance involved. That make more sense?

Hahahaha that's freaking classic

Drums are used on big vehicles cause of surface area. You can get a lot out of a drum and it wont fade like a disc will.

Go to court and plead not quilty, get a court date, then ask for an extension for whatever reason. Delay the date as much as possible. This really helps your odds of the cop not showing. When you go to court, justify what you were doing. Never try and find a technicality, those almost never work. In your case, say you thought you were doing 80 and that 80 was safe for the conditions. Clear days with no traffic is always helpful. That's been my method the 5 times I've gone to court and I have recieved only one point (traffic school took care of it).

For quick clean ups if you spill right away use brakeclean. Even warm coca-cola will work with a stiff wire brush. I've also been told that putting down some concret powder mix and using a broom to go over the stains works well, but I've never tried it.

Actually what I heard was that VW wouldn't sign so they said screw em.

-Countless interior parts for the Z -stub axle's -heater core -4bbl manifold for a small block mopar -billet 58mm two barrel TB -Paxton Novi 2000 -Lots of MSD stuff -Random autometer gauges -mirrors -random billet stuff -fender flares -new weather stripping for the Z That's all I can think of off the top of my head
