thanks thats kind of what i was wondering. and sorry i mispoke my self, i meant to say fender lips, not flares, and yes cutting those would suck, just an idea i had floating around in my crazy head.

has anyone thought of using the fender flares from a 2005 mustang on their s30? i have just been noticing them lately and thinking "man, those lines would be nice on a z car." now i dont know if they would fit well or if the wheel well would line up, but just from an outside glance they look nice. example attached. http://static.flickr.com/28/62635696_8b1d5cf4e3.jpg

i think what your grandfather was referring to was the "big bore 260" 240 stroke with 280 bore.

the car rocks, not a fan of the interior. you just cant beat the stock s30 look, however that is the first time i have seen flares on a z and liked em helluva car.

if it is adhesive, heat will usually help to loosen things up. be careful with gas involved however.

stop using detroits as a basis for a argument that 2 strokes can be turbocharged or supercharged. they are a completley different beasts, they don't rely on the piston to create the bulk of their compression, that comes from the blower, and turbo combo, hence the need for forced induction to work. basically the air/fuel mix is forced in through holes on the side of the piston that correspond with holes in the cylinder jacket creating a cleaning and charging cycle in one, plus diesel fuel needs a much higher compression ratio to ignite, another reason for the use of forced induction. now im not saying it can't be done, in fact i believe it can, if the turbo attaches after the expansion chamber and the chambers size and taper takes into consideration not only the extra restriction created by the turbo but also the false sense of greater cubic displacement created by the extra charge in the cylinder. would take ALOT of research but could be viable.

why don't you use that red masking or duct tape to get an idea instead of painting a rim that you may have to clean up again.

polished everything, but add red to the inside edges of the spokes. so you have a polished face and red "peeking" through on the sides of the spokes. since you seem to be leaning towards red somewhere i think this would be the way to tactfully add it in, without going overboard.

well remind me never to move to finland...

here dude there is one for sale on classic zcars.com http://www.zcar.com/forums/read/12/1839342

what was the shipping price?

i think its the flares, they just dont flow in like i think they should...

that would be nice, i need those for sure, most of my gauges are not working, and im sure they are chewed. i will probably need a complete wiring bundle in the end, but that would be a great start!

hey, just wondering if a 240z wiring harness might be available, I've looked and had a hard time finding anything. thanks for the help in advance.
