  1. Are you talking about the reclinables? As far as they go, look like a -small- step up from your average sports reclinable, the hip-support looks a bit deeper then most. Imo when it comes to a seat, hip/leg support is the most important thing. I want my legs to be flat, and i want them to have a high-wall to "push" against when cornering. Lumbar support doesnt compare, and id gladly give up all lumbar support in favor of some deep sides. My harness/belt/hands on the wheel can support my toro just fine. I cant however hold my feet against the pedals and support them..
  2. Use the hybrid Z method and add youre own hole for the buckle Of course you could always get a harness with that built in. From what ive seen high quality harnesses have a spot right by the shoulders designed to tear/give a smidge so you wont sink in during a hardcore crash. Also a good way to tell if youre buying a used harness thats been in an accident already or not.
  3. Theyre also highly uncomfortable. Those tube-fram seats have a very high "Front" that lifts your thighs up pretty high. Good for holding you in, and thats it. Ill only buy a flat-bottom seat if i ever get one again.
  4. Not yet unfortunetley. But im 110% sure i will within 1-2 months! Someone claimed they did in the wheels thread, but no pictures yet
  5. Kabump. Anyone else have more experience or input on these?
  6. What brand tire? Would we get some pictures? Thanks!
  7. Ka bump, wearedrivenz did you ever get those things mounted? need some pictures!
  8. http://spoilers4less.stores.yahoo.net/bxenbodstylk33.html 190 shipped to your door. this is where i got mine from.
  9. Have to go agains the grain and say im NOT a fan of sds. Its cheap and what not, which fits the budget of a lot of people here. Buuuttt.. it leaves a lot to be desired.
  10. Dont think anyones mentioned this yet- But 600 whp is FAR different from 600 crank hp. Arent there people on Hz making 3-400 whp with realtively affordable mods and bolt ons with stock blocks? Maybe the guy meant close to 600 crank. If you figure for a moderat 20% drivetrain loss youd only need in the 480 whp range to make 600 crank. Considering what people do with fairly stock blocks, is that too far-fetched of a number for someone with those manifolds, a stand alone, that turbo, that huge ass fmic, and forged goodies? ALso from what ive seen when youre making numbers close to that, a little head work seems to go a LONG way, I believe chris' car is a perfect testimate to this. Should ask the guy if theres been any head work. With those mods hes listed i wouldnt be surprised to find at the very lease some porting and polishing. Hoepfully he didnt mention it already and ive just missed it.. hah.
  11. With age they become soft. But theres a LOT of home-done ways to add support to them so they dont. For most "hybrid z" cars, this is no big deal. Especialy when you consider you can pick one up for about 180-190 shipped right to you door.
  12. Hope im not asking this too much all over- But if its nto a secret, anyone know what chris has done to his Z to be hitting that kind of power those boost levels?
  13. Hey bigphil if you have access to the file would you show the dyno sheet with boost at the bottom?
  14. Just making use of my bayonette and sling..
  15. Anyone have the details on what was done to chris' car?
  16. Hey big phil whats the set up for your meth injection? Is it a simple kit thats just on off, or does it inject more with more boost? Now where does your boost peak at? I was talking to a car buddy of mine and he brought up a point I hadnt thought about. When you run 100% meth (which i think you are?) Its like overly rich- but since since it doesnt look for that, it wont show up on a wide band. So you might have target a/f ratios, and 100% going in, well you see where im going. Just some food for thought? Let us know how it goes! Btw, any dynographs you can post yet? (Saw the one at the end of the vid- would love a closer look)
  17. And thatd be exactly what I got my hands on (Just showed up yesterday, time to go have some fun). Bulgarian yellow tip heavy ball from J&G for 60 shipped to the door. Much better then 22 and change for a box of 20 from anywhere else. I love this gun
  18. I mustve gotten lucky, ive yet to deal with a sticky bolt. My gun was actually pretty damn clean, not covered in a inch layer of cosmo. Though ive only been shooting wolf ammo- I just ordered some bulgarian surplus (300 rounds of heavy ball). Thankfully its a brass shell and not a steel lacquer shell though- cant wait to see how it shoots!
  19. Hah 16 gallons might not be too bad- Im used to my 86 corolla with its 10 gallon tank. Though i have to admit ill really miss the 35-38 mpg I was a little worried about driving distance on the Z, i expected it to have a 10 or so gallon tank- but that makes things a lot different. Thanks for the awesome info.
  20. Ah not too much of a concern of mine- the work will for the most part be completled by a gunsmith, i just want it for the hardware. Ill also be having the bolt welded vs using the bolt together approach. Though i do admit down the line I would like to get one of those long handled bolts I see on gunbroker once in awhile for 40-60 bucks- The ones that are curved back slightly really look appealing to me.. So another question comes to mind, ever face the dreaded sticky bolt syndrom?
  21. Eh could you elaborate a little further on this? Ive seen and delt with a few before- They seemed alright. What was your complaints with them?
  22. Damn seriously? Can anyone else confirm this?
  23. Nice how much are you picking up th pu for? Grabbing PU scope as well or going with something more modern? I think im going to cheap-out and just get my hands on an ati scope kit and have a local gunsmith attach it for me
