  1. Both the MOMO Fighter and MOMO Race cost about $220.00.

    I'm betting that these guys bodies are 50% scar tissue. http://www.westcoastfilmworks.com/films.htm# (movie links at bottom of page) And Here's why you should try none of the above. http://www.neonsins.com/home/Moto1-320.wmv
  3. Nitrous Boosted Scooter Spanks Firebird Movie (331Kb)
  4. You can pre-order right now. (if there are any left). Give your favorite Nissan dealer a call. Delivery starts near the end of August, Early Sept.
  5. Here they are under different lighting.
  6. Well, thanks all, but the point is moot. I just received the seats and they are darker than they appear in the photo. No need for a dye-job. They are also in excellent condition.
  7. Another good example of modernizing a classic look is the Porsche 911.
  8. I do like the new 350Z, but is not what I was hoping for. I would have liked it to looked more like the 240Z. Like what VW did with the beetle. You look at the new Beetle and you know it's a Beetle. You look at the 350Z and you think "nice car, what is it?" The V6 was a mistake as well. They had a pefectly suitable engine in the RB26 series. I came to within one day of preordering the 350Z. I had worked out a deal with a local Nissan dealership, and I only needed to come in a sign the papers. But, I backed out on the last day. I had my 240Z sitting in my shop gathering dust, and I really needed a truck or SUV (country living). So, I went the praticle route and dropped the 350Z idea, sold my Impreza RS and got the SUV. Now I'm spending all my money on the 240Z, and I only get pangs of regret on the few occasions I see pictures of the 350Z. On those occasions I try to imagine spanking a 350Z with my hybrid 240Z, and I feel better
  9. Just playing around with Sleek's Z. <---Bad pun.
  10. I agree. The 575 Fsrrari is closest to what I imagined the new Z should look like. With some minor changes. Lose the shark gill side vents. Lose the hood scoop, and give it the Z hump. Give the quarter windows a little classic z shape. Maybe shorten and lower the tail (more drop-off) a bit.
  11. What would be the optimum Rear end ratio for the following configurations: 200hp NA L28 / 280Z 5-Speed 300hp L28 Turbo / 5-Speed 350hp LS1 / T556. The car would mostly be used as daily driver / street terrorizer. Note: I have a Z-Car 5-speed, but I have no idea which one.
  12. Thanks pparaska, I think I understand now. R200LSD + 280Z stub axles + RossC's CV shaft adapters + 280ZXT (or 2+2) half shafts = drive train that can handle 300hp - 350Hp? Thanks denny411! Wow, 12 of them. Who'd a thunk it! I have searched www.car-part.com for other parts before. But I hadn't yet searched for a LSD. When I'm ready (got the money) I'm sure I'll go that direction.
  13. You forgot one part... Looks good, last long time,best of all, doesn't make a mess of your clothes, COST MORE MONEY. I would rather do the re-upholstery job myself and save the bucks. I also forgot to mention that I work in a Aircraft service / refurb center. I know dozens of people who are very good at upholstery. A few of which who do auto-upholstery on the side for considerably less mulah than the pro shops. When I get back to work tomarrow I plan to pick a few brains about this re-dye subject.
  14. Hey thanks for the info SpeedRacer, I think I'll give it a try. Is there some sort of special upholstery soap I should look for (brand name)? I figure worst come to worst, I'll have to re-upholster the seats. I kind'a want to do the leather thing anyway.
  15. Yeah, I've become an eBay addict. I have at least 10 items on my watch list at all times. I check it at least twice a day. I keep my MSA and VB catalogs beside the computer so I can compare prices. Good example: VB list a new passenger door pull for $29.95 + $4.00 shipping. I got one (new as well) off eBay for $25.00 + $4.00 shipping. Saved $4.95. So far I've bought... * Center Consol * Pair of rear turn-signal lenses * New Shift boot * Pair 1995 Miata seats It's like the words biggest classified ads w/ shipping. But I'm not as bad as a freind I have at work who tells me he gets eBay stuff delivered to his house EVERY DAY! He says his wife has banned him from the computer for while.
  16. I'm leaning towards one of these: Momo “Fighter†Momo “Raceâ€
  17. Yeah, those are the two things I was worried about: Streaking (un-even color) & rub-off. I'm betting the "cloth" is some sort of poly-synthetic-stuff, and would'nt take dye very well. I was hoping one of you knew some secrete trick to dying modern upholstery. Oh well, I can live with the color until I con afford this. Black Leather Miata Seat re-upholstery kit = $449.00 (more than I paid for the seats!) Black Vinyl Miata Seat re-upholstery kit = $300.00 I haven't found a Cloth kit yet.
  18. I just bought a set of 1995 Mazda Miata seats for my 240Z. Does anybody know of a good way to re-dye them? The color is dark enough that I could probably get away with then as is, but I would like to dye them jet-black. They are cloth. I guess I could search for Miata seat Upholstery kits, but I'm cheap.
  19. Is that a 12 cylinder? I still trying to figure out hjow to stick this in my Z. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1844750438
  20. Couple more shots of that stunning exhaust. http://hem.passagen.se/n300zx/280zxtt02.jpg http://hem.passagen.se/n300zx/280zxtt03.jpg
  21. Yeah, that would be me. "Boobala" AKA "Zed" Why won't they count your order? That's just silly. 20 is 20.
  22. Yeah, "Japandy" is sort of a celebrity in the ricer community. If I could find clear and concise info on the Z32 R230LSD swap I would go that way, but so far all I've seen is vague at best. My plan as of this moment is to either... 1. Find a JY R200LSD from 87-89 300ZXTurbo or... 2. Get a JY 280Z(XT) R200 and buy a "new" LSD.
  23. The Z car pre-order page is up! Some people may think this is "Rice" but I think it adds a modern look to the Z. AS soon as I get my seats paid for I'll be placing my order. (two weeks...max) SpeedHut Indiglo Gauge Faces 240Z/260Z/280Z Pre-Order page Scroll to bottom and click either the Dial Face Glows or the Font Glow links. Your instrument cluster must look like this: (sorry ZX guys) Non-Z Samples: Face Glow: Font Glow: As soon as they get 20 orders they will start tooling-up to make them. Some "Custom Logo's" I have come up with (click for bigger pics): ...and the one I plan to use: Feel free to use any of the above if you like.
  24. Prediction: I will see the number of bids double and the price of this unit quadruple in the next 24 hours.
  25. Would this LSD work in a Z R200? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1844826780
