  1. I used to commute daily to downtown on my road bike until I started working 25 miles from my home.

     

    My Mountain Bike (Titanium!!!)

    Bikes: Trek 5500 DuraAce, Titus Racer X, Guerciotti: restored (Steel is Real)

  2. My current commuter when I'm not driving the Z is my Giant TCR. I've been considering just parking my z and not worrying about driving for now. I've done this though in the past and its nice to have a car to drive when I "NEED" to. IE hot dates :)

    Nice Bike

  3. Hey Titus, can you fill me in on where you went to get the mounts from Recaro? I'm getting a set of 1985 BMW 320is seats from a buddy of mine. He bought the car for the Grassroots Motorsports 2007 challenge (actually placed #12 last year and aiming for top three this year!). Just need to figure out how to mount them now!

     

    Try the Recaro web site. They are called TAB sliders.

    You can see them in this photo:

    They also have a adaptor Z mount: IMGP1179.jpg

  4. I read your ad in the ATL craiglist, I drive everywhere in town. I'm on the search team, my finders fee is a twelve pack. (I,ll share)

     

    I called the DMV office in Cobb yesterday and they don't give out information based on vehicle vin. They said it was a privacy issue. I can understand that.

     

    The Craigs list ad was a good resource, lots of people browse CL. You proved that.

  5. That car, the red one that you're looking for, not that locomotive looking silver one, looks ALOT like one that I worked on down in Metairie, LA back in 1983...the owner was from someplace in GA and he drove it down to me to put a set of 72 240 roundtops on it. It was a 74 260 with the old water jacketed flattops on it and I had a set of brand spanking new roundtops. He didn't know how to balance the carbs and I did, so he brought it to me to do the install. I specifically remember the car because of the whaletail and the guy because he had a little green parakeet that rode on the rear view mirror.

     

    If you found ANY evidence of bird poop down by the shifter, that would be the same car. Unfortunately, I never heard back from the guy after I put the carbs on it, so I can't help you with that part, but it would be very interesting if it was in fact the same car.

    Thanks Warren,

    When I sold the car, it had a Cartec Holly 4-bbl kit. I still have the old flat-tops somewhere. Did you notice if the car had a cable release for the rear deck? Do you remember?

  6. My DD is a '05 Mazda3 5-door w/auto. Black on Black! Sweet!

    I also share with the wife a '01 Mazda Tribute to haul the bicycles around.

    Just added a hitch to be able to mount my bike rack to also haul the bicycles.

     

    Just sold a '91 BMW 325iC convert' which was my daily before the Mazda3 came onboard.

     

    The 240 is about to climb onto the rotisserie and won't be on the road anytime soon.

  7. We've got an Eastwood bead roller that is crank driven. It's best used with a helper to either turn the crank or move the metal, but it works great! We also have their big sheet metal brake and another manufacturers tubing bender and another's rotisserie. I don't play with these tools too often, but they are going to come in handy when I finish stripping my 240Z shell and start replacing the floor pans. I plan on using ZedFindings pans but might add some extra rolls.
