  1. Put in the choke cable bracket, plh made by Dave Irwin and broke the plastic tab for the horn contact while moving wires around at the steering column.
  2. This is what john kinda describes. You don't see the hefty piece of metal behind the bumper. This is for a 240z. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c301/dlh2460/240z/240zhitch0032crop.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c301/dlh2460/240z/240zhitch001.jpg
  3. bill of sale, makes me think it doesn't have a title.
  4. programmable t-stats will pay for themselves within a year. Bought mine on cl and paid for it the first month. $8.
  5. Couple of days ago replaced a caliper that was bad. Warranty from checker. Had one track day with it. A month later the fluid leaked out.
  6. I know you have russel speed bleeders on your current brakes. Try the Earls solo bleeders. I think a better bleeder.
  7. I have some mapp gas around here somewhere. Let me know if you want to use some. I will have to find it. But then if they are that seized up you'll have to wonder what kind of shape the rest is.
  8. Cap on straight? Rotted hoses? It could mean anything. You need to get under and take a look.
  9. Each state have their own requirements for title and registration. For Colorado, the plate stays with you. You can either transfer the plate and what is left to your new car, or turn them in to the DMV. Either way, take the plates off when selling it. It's up to the new owner to get temp tags and register it. Someone will sell a car and not take the plates off even when they are expired. The new owner keeps them on and racks up tickets. Just make sure you keep records of when it was sold. Before the new roads and bridges tax took effect, the counties were pretty lax about renewals. If going by the book, the renewal would be an extra $15/month the car wasn't registered, most waived that. Collector car plates used to have a rolling 25 yr exemption and no emissions test for as long as you own the car and keep the registration up to date. Now the cut off date for the exemption is '75 and older. You get the collector plates(5 year) and only have to pay the roads and bridges tax once during the 5 years. But if you keep regular plates on a car '75 or older then you have to get emissions every year and pay for the r&b tax every year. The newer cars that have the collector plates are grandfathered in as long as the plates are kept current. Late registration fees-- With the new R&B tax, we will get charged $25 a month with a cap of $100 for late registration fees. Safety inspections-- Colorado did away with those in the early 80's about the same time as the emissions testing. With all that said above, we have 50 states, all with different requirements. This is just a few of them.
  10. volvo 240d, early 70's or whenever they had su's.
  11. Bought new tires so it will be ready for the track on the 7th. Trying the kumo exctas this time.
  12. Word has it a few cannuucckies came down to portland to help a fellow z enthusiast load up his disassembled z into a moving van. No lifts required, just some beer and hooch.
  13. I hate zombies, at least there's one less zombie in miami. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/26/naked-man-eating-victims-face-killed-miami_n_1548359.html
  14. Here's one, depends on the filter diameter. They have one for toyota and one for vw. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Oil-Filter-Cooler-Heat-Sink-Fits-1968-1984-/270354007301?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3ef25ac505#ht_1394wt_769 And one more like the one you have posted. It's in the UK though. http://www.nfauto.co.uk/index.html I used google using "oil filter cooler" http://home.roadrunner.com/~bikepics/Road%20Star.htm
  15. Make note of the part numbers, one by the set of bushings and the other on the package. I used a bench vise and a flat file to make them fit. I used the vise to install the bushings, then used the vise to run the pin through the bushings, then worked the pin with pliers to loosen it enough so it would move a little easier. Then I used a flat file on the flanges of the bushings on both sides so it would just fit between the ears on the transmission. Don't forget to use lubricant when installing the bushings and pin.
  16. Calling always worked for me when working with CN.
  17. It takes dedication to continue with any club. We can also thank the older club members to keep it together. With newer clubs or younger clubs, the dedication isn't there and they lose interest or don't like the direction the club is going. The club I belong to is pretty healthy, each monthly meeting brings in at least 40 people. We have at least 120 members. I try to go to all the meetings mainly for the active membership points. Get at least 15 points and we get a small gift at the end of the year. The only reason I joined the club initially was because of the track events the club puts on. The club also has a stake in our track, it is ours. www.highplainsraceway.com We go on drives, have bbq, show and shines and of course our track events. Sometimes get with other car clubs in the area.
  18. Waiting on a return call from Daniel. Didn't get a chance to ask him yet. That late, not sure it would be him. He lives in Castle Pines. I will be going to the zccc track event on the 10th. Hope to see some of you even if you aren't taking your car on the track. Either way it is a lot of fun.
  19. I did read that, but this would be a good route to go if you get a used one. You don't know how long a used one will last.
  20. If you have a rebuildable damper, check this guy out. http://www.dalemfg.com/harmonicbalancer_018.htm
