I used contoura rocker switches in mine. http://stores.ebay.com/Genuinedealz_Contura-Panel-Switches_W0QQ_fsubZ5284440QQ_sacatZGenuinedealzQ5fQ5fW0Q51Q51Q5ffsubQ5A5284440Q51Q51Q5fscQ5A1Q51Q51Q5fsopQ5A2QQ_scZ1QQ_sidZ779049QQ_sopZ2 Derek [url=http://stores.ebay.com/Genuinedealz_Contura-Panel-Switches_W0QQ_fsubZ5284440QQ_sacatZGenuinedealzQ5fQ5fW0Q51Q51Q5ffsubQ5A5284440Q51Q51Q5fscQ5A1Q51Q51Q5fsopQ5A2QQ_scZ1QQ_sidZ779049QQ_sopZ2][/url]

I don't irace but i rFactor. I'm developing a 240 for rfactor. Here's a link I just posted yesterday. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=156761 Derek

I'd be interested if you had a 240 to race:) Seriously the big problem for me is Sundays. That's Wife day. If you did it on a Tuesday or Wednesday I'd be in. Derek

Yes and it can be a problem. I throw a sheet over it so I don't see it but then it looks eerily like the ancient astronaut in the movie alien. Don't look in the pod you idiot! The program is $40.00 and the g25 wheel and shifter is in the 250.00 range. They are coming out with a g27 so the prices may be dropping. The load cell for the brake mod is 70.00. Here is a snip from the physics file on a mustang You can see there is a lot of info to come up with. Some of the settings have ranges because you can go into the garage section and fiddle with the settings. Hi Clive. Yes there seems to be quite a bit of intermingling between Simbin cars and rFactor. Derek

All right this is a little wordy so please stick with me! I have a driving simulator called rFactor. It's an awesome program. This driving SIM is the same one that's used by some of the F1 teams to train on. The physics engine is very advanced. Plus there is a huge amount of user support in the way of add on cars and tracks. These are called MODs for you old dudes like me out there. I bought the program so I could improve my driving skills since I don't have access (money) to a track. I built a driving rig out of an old seat from my 240 and a logitech G25 wheel. The G25 is nice in that it has a clutch pedal and a shifter. I did a mod on the pedals and hung them and added a load cel on the brake pedal for a more realistic feel. My driving ability and especially heal toe ability improved greatly. There was only one thing missing. An actual 240Z to drive on the track. Well being an idiot I decided I would make it my mission to make it happen. I did some checking around and and contacted one of the top mod groups to see what I could make happen. You know its just amazing how much interest you can get when you mention that you own a 3D laser scanner to a bunch of volunteer game developers! So now that I was their new best friend we hashed out a plan of action. I'd handle all of the 3D modeling work and they would take care of the physics, sounds, and other assorted mumbo jumbo that makes the thing work. Now this is where you guys come in. I need data. Lots of data. It's mind boggling how much info can be programed in. The one that really caught my eye was size and location of fuel tank so that it could factor in the weight of the fuel. Now that's thorough! This is where you come in. I'm going to looking for as much accurate info as I can get. I know some things may be averages and some will be educated guesses. But your guess is going to be a hell of a lot better than my guess. The physics guys on the team are really into creating cars that are accurate as possible and will use as much data as we provide. What's in it for you you might ask. Well nothing really unless you plan on getting a driving setup. In that case it might be a good too to keep you sharp in the off season or tune up a little before going to a new track. Or we can all meet up online for some awesome Z car racing. Most of you guy's followed me along as I went through the madness that was casting my own EFI manifold so you know I finish what I start out to accomplish so this won't be wasted effort on your part. Here is some shots of where I'm at in the modeling process on the Z. The exterior is mostly done and I'm starting on the interior. Right now it's going to patterned after the BRE car but that is just for style. The shaping isn't perfect but it will get the job done. All the handling and aerodynamics is done with the physics definitions. The 3D model is there to hang the skins. If you go on youtube and search on rfactor you can get an idea of what it's all about. Don't hate me just because I'm insane! Derek

Too late. I beat you too it. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=156711 I'm cheaper than Kameari and MSA but I might be a little high on the pricing compared to silverseal. I just put a set on my P90 and the cam spun like buttah. Derek

Hi I made up some aluminum .080 cam tower shims for the P90 mod. No more stacking multiple shims and the problems that can cause. Plus they're cheaper too! $100.00 per set plus $4.95 flat rate priority mail anywhere in the US. Check with me on International. Thanks Derek

Here's my rig for practicing heal toe and left foot braking. The steering wheel location and pedals are the same as the Z. I've modified the pedal placement for better heal toe. The wheel is a G25 and I modded the pedals so they hang. I'm running rfactor. Derek

I think he's talking about the advance curve. Derek

But I'll consider doing another run if there is enough interest. If you are pretty sure your going to buy one send me a PM and give me a rough idea of how long it will be before you will need it. There's no obligation as I know things change. Derek

I'll build the chairs and you can do notorious things in them to up the value!

I'm about 1:15 north. Not far at all. Derek

Hi Clive. If there's enough interest I'll make another run. By interest I mean enough people with serious post counts saying they want one. This economy is so tough on people that it's hard for them to pull the trigger on this kind of stuff anymore. Realistically if 5 people say they want them probably 2 will come through. And that's just the nature of the beast. Derek

Bump Only 2 left! Derek

The bolt holes in the hub are just to get the hub aligned properly. You don't leave them in. The one thing I notice is your screen shot shows an offset of 80 not 60. Derek

Yeah it's really well built. I have one of their tubing notchers for doing copes and it really works great. Derek

Yea I'll be bringing a few kits with me. Derek

Looks good Adam. I guess you won't be driving it over to Bill's on Saturday! Derek

I have thw Williams Low Buck 18" http://www.lowbucktools.com/beadroller.html I've been very happy with it although It's been collecting dust for a while. Derek

My plan so far has been to hold one of the speakers up there and say" yep that'l fit". When I get the 3D work done on them I'll know more. There is a local fiberglass guy here who I may talk to about producing them. I haven't even started any design work yet. Derek

I'm going to be carving up a set in the near future to hold 5 1/4" rounds. I have a few things ahead of them but they are on the short list! I maybe inclined to carve extras. Derek

+1 From me. Derek

Thanks Roger, If I was slow right now I would be working on the patterns here and there but honestly I'm slammed. I have 3 V8 manifold patterns to produce and It's looking pretty good that I'll be doing a bunch of the restoration of disneys main street railings. Really the main thing that kept these from going to market was the fact that they worked right out of the box. If I would have had to re cast them I probably would have made the revisions to the patterns. Derek

Thanks I'm pretty proud! Derek

Thanks. The manifolds work great but in this economy the amount of investment vs return is too iffy right now. When consumer spending starts growing again I'll be considering it. The patterns and core boxes need a lot of work before they would be ready for even a limited production. Derek
