Thanks for making your money available to me When I get the panels installed in the test car I'll have a better idea on clearances. That's a good idea about the side by side picture. Derek

Just started a new post about a new style pod. Low rise pod Thanks Derek

Ran into a little clearance problem with my panels and people with dealer add on A/C. The evaporator hangs down into the foot well and there was no way the panels were going to fit. Unfortunately my suggestion to replace their A/C with a Vintage Air unit like mine wasn't well received. The only way I could make them fit was to mount the speakers flat and hang the magnet in the door hinge bolt pocket. Acoustically not the best choice but workable nun the less. I believe I've heard back from everyone that bought panels that has dealer air but if you didn't get an email from me then shoot me a PM. Also If you bought a set of panels and haven't installed them and you'd rather have these PM me and we may be able to work something out. I'm testing these on a car at the beginning of the week and I believe they're going to fit fine. I'll be stocking these as a regular item. Thanks Derek

Says the guy from Maine! I have the Vintage Air Gen ll Mini and couldn't be happier. Cools the car off in 90 degree heat no problem. The problem with the add on airs for the Z is they suck through the evaporator and IMO is not efficient. Back in the 80's I worked in the parts department at datsun and we had a ton of old blowers and evaps laying around I tried all kinds of combos but nothing is as good as a modern add on like the Vintage unit. Derek

And now for my shamless plug about cam tower shims. I sell the .080 shims if your interested. PM me for the details. Oh and I feel your pain about the micrometer. I dropped my 0-1" Mitutoyo on the floor about a year ago. I still keep it in the drawer next to the new one to remind me not to be so careless! Derek

And your answer was?

I just can't keep up any more! So spraying fuel down a nearly blocked venturi and introducing air through a single point on a runner that's common with the 6 inlets is going to idle? It seems to me injecting at the head for idle and off idle and transitioning over to the other set of injectors in the ends of the horns would be a more streetable option. Don't know if Megasquirt can do that though. Getting 6 ITBs to come off idle smoothly is really tricky. At least on my car it is. Derek

My throttle plates are pretty much air tight and only gets idle air from my IAC block and it idles fine. It's mounted about 18" of 1/2" tube away. Derek

Sounds and looks great. You just can't beat the induction noise from triples. I wish we had an audio filter that would mask out the valve train noise in L6 videos though! Derek

Thanks! I think that there are too many differences for these to fit on a S130. Derek

I bit the bullet and assembled my own kit from Waytek Wire They also have the Metri pack stuff. The down side was I had to order full bags of everything. The upside is the price is right and you always have connectors on hand. This and my large nut and bolt assortment were a couple of the best time saving purchases I've made. Derek

Yes I'm now officially Ken's bit$$ch for a while. But then again none of you guys were offering me stroker parts! The pillar pod mount is really a *****. Although there are a lot of similarities in making patterns for castings and making patterns for vacuum forming there are some key differences. Also I've been at this long enough to know that pre-production is where projects succeed or fail. Even as accurate as my mockup is it's still a bit of a crap shoot as to whether or not I have them in the right spot. When I get more comfortable with the design there will be progress but it's really sluggish right now. Derek

Titanium!!! Thems sure are some fancy bolts you got there. I include a couple 6MM socket head screws. Derek

Still have them PM sent. Derek

Thanks guys. Glad you like the pieces. No problem Ray keep me posted on your progress. Derek

I think you should do the intake manifold as a flow analysis from Cosmos or such. Single color flowing in fading into the runners. Could be a neat effect. Great work by the way. Derek

Yea but not on this! I've got some pattern work I need to get out before I can play. This thing is more complicated that I thought. Derek

What they said! Plus for me I was going to have to upgrade my dizzy and it is just a lot cooler looking. Oh and check my sig if you need a install kit. Man that plug was just shameless. Derek

Is that whimming or whining The covers are 35.00 plus 5.00 for shipping to the us. $45.00 plus shipping for the deluxe cover. Check with me first about Canada and international. This goes for everyone. PM me your paypal address and what you want and I'll send you out an invoice. Thanks Derek

Allrighty then. I have an assortment to choose from. Raw, silver anodize, all black, black with silver Z and black with black Z. The black with black Z is $10.00 more because I have to put it in the mill again after it's anodized and carve out the Z. Also the back ground is no longer anodized so you will have to keep it waxed. They came out really great and I think everyone will be happy. The raw one is already sold to Jeff. AtlantaZ and Soundmasterg have dibs on the black Zs with silver background if they want to pay the extra bucks.I have 2 in stock Lance Vance gets the all black one AtlantaZ and rjstcroix have dibs on the black with silver Z. I have enough material to make 16 more and I'll be making them soon so If you got skipped don't sweat it as I'll have more. Just let me know what color you want. Nobody is tied to their choices so If you want to make a different selection no problem.

Wow great link. Thanks Derek

I would tell you but then you would bother me Right now I have in stock: Kick panel speaker pods for 70/73 .080 cam tower shims .063 cam tower shims EDIS install kits for L6 In development: Distributor block off plate (DUH) "A pillar" pod gauge mount Bouncing around in my near brain Rear trim panels with integrated speaker pods Lower door panel covers with integrated speaker pods and maybe a door pocket if I can fit it. Way down the road. (probably never buy hey I can dream) Dashboard that holds modern gauges a 7" touch screen and modern vents for the AC.

Yes that's getting into the "I'll pay you to take this" relm of parts! I'll do an all silver one first when I start anodizing and post up a picture. Then people can make their final decisions on what color they want then. Derek

I'll have to charge you extra for that No problem I'll put you guys on the list Derek

MMMM.... Purdy Made a new post here cover
