  1. I am still interested in these vents........how goes it Owen??
  2. don't cut corners. you will spend double the time painting and repainting. If you spent good money on paint then at least finish the job the right way. A rattle can will not stick. end of story. by powdercoating you will have a surface that will be a hell of a lot more resiliant to chipping or scratching.
  3. does this mean that you want to reverse the louver openings to be open towards the front of the car? I am not sure. I need to get air in the engine bay, cold direct air from outside. the more that I can "shove" at my carb the better off I will be..........with boost and all........
  4. truely a beautiful car Bob. Next time that you are out driving around shoot on over to Houston so that I can take a look at her in person.....
  5. performance over looks........ you will never be satisfied with "others" making decisions for you........ the canister mufflers have a drone sometimes....... the oval muffler can make good power as well just depends on design and packing material.
  6. Dramier,there is nothing in Lufkin. Open your own shop...Or go talk to my good friend Cody Consford at Dynamic( owner). Is the speed shop still out on the loop? Maybe you can strike up a deal with Cody building projects....... Great car...Iam starting to get really interestedin the RB26 , and maybe a VG or VQ.......I am not sure about swapping out what I have. Great project none the less....
  7. I would almost trade you my 70 with the turbo tom setup............I have some interestes in your car as well. I will pm you with details.
  8. I am serious I will be happy to sport some "Owen " specials on my hood.....
  9. my god the suspension looks SICK.....that is powdercoated correct?
  10. I got a message from him stateing that they would not be avalible for two weeks or something like tha t
  11. so you are telling me that I can get a BAD ASS front brake kit for less than 500.00.......... What about brakeing byass with this matched to the factory rears? is there a kit that can be put together for the rears as well? I have two "valves" persay on the brakes that I have on this car that help to shutter the brakes to keep them from locking up....anyone know how this will effect the system?
  12. http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/stores/products?vendor_code=PSR&category_id=d419442437284eb32cb04e3f798abaab&session_id=8337d75c6cc40717c43773e3dc7bed77 doesn't this pricing seem kinda STEEP?
  13. CAREFUL remember shamals and black paint don't mix
  14. Or I could put them more towards the front bumper.......
  15. I am in for sure. The only sorry I have is the clearance with the air cleaner on my carb setup. Since I am boosted I can not move it at all.....But if it will clear I will be there with money waiting.
  16. He definately spent some $$$$$$$ on that addition
  17. correction he is Kuwaiti.....not us army.......careful.....just the facts
  18. ohh god no don't doit. that paint scheme will date the car back to the 80's. It is better to go with one color in my opinion
  19. I used Marvels on my 240 that had sat for 9 YEARS!!!!! Everything is perfect on it. I let the Marvels work for 48 hours and then bumped the motor to make sure the it would turn over. Alsotrytosee if you can "prime" the oil pump. On the Z it is possible just take the cover off the oil pump and use a drill to turn the impeller
  20. here ya go....thanks for the info earlier. I am getting my stuff from this place....... www.smileysracing.com they have 2.5 and 3" bends.......I will get the rest at the shop while she is on a rack..... there is also www.justmagnaflow.com
  21. they were hidden from the goverment when the new regiem took over. they have bene hidden for over 30 years. Most of the owners are dead and gone........One hell of a find......I would want the 359's and the 240Z
  22. holly schnikeys batman.....................I am looking to do something the same on my car.....195/60/14 and 19lbs of boost don't mix...........did you roll you fenders to stuff those in there? I am anticipating that I will have to do that. I am special ordering a set of 17 X 8 for the car on all fours......
  23. Well the thing is I can get it for about 6 a gallon......if I pick up 5 gal every week then it is not too bad and I will have a full tank before too long.....I am not so sure about the gas we have these days with all of the ethanol in it. I have heard a lot of bad things about water and bad combustion.
