Looking for a 3 liter or above L engine for my Hako. Anyone selling let me know. healthtoall@yahoo.com

it's been awhile since I have installed this combo in the 240. Can I install with water pump mounted ? Will this clear the radiator support when bolted to the tranny or do I need to take it off? Thanks in advance. Terry

I am restoring my Z and forgot if I bolt my tranny and then water pump and crank pulls will it clear the front radiator support when going in? Should I take them both off?

Any updates to this or pricing etc? T

I know this is an old thread but is there any interest in more CHOROS or maybe bigger models etc? I may jsut go out and take some pics soon so wanted to see if anyone may be interested.... Terry

lol....

Cool vid...　

Jesus Tony, Roger has gotten fricken crazy huge. I found this: http://www.repetrope.com/men/competitors/detail.asp?CompetitorID=6577 Check it out, maybe contact him. If you do tell him Terry the powerlifter from the 90s that used to lift with him says hello! Terry

Tony, you have any idea where Roger Puffer is now a days? Its been about 15 years since I saw him last. I guess he is still bodybuilding? Terry

Ok I finally got closure on this after talking to customs and an RI. The C5 was an export only car and technically doesnt exist in the U.S. These can not be re-imported into the USA without petition. That can take months/years. So I am not closing the deal on that. However a 1992 and 1999 model can be imported at an average cost of $6000 for needed mods...still a non player. Any car over 25 years can be imported as exempt (just like my Hakosuka was). So I decided instead of buying the total restored 1981 for $25K, I found a cheaper 1981 that I can take back when time comes and still turn wrenches on (engine upgrades etc) until we leave. Too bad for me because I really wanted the C5. Here is the one I am def getting as we speak after much much consideration... http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/goo/15/0130090403D4002513002.html Man these cars only had 190 HP....guess Ill go nuts till I get a good 350 built for her. I suppose the same build I have for my 240 will do...some AFR 195s, Comp 276 cam, headers, 9:5:1 pistons, single plan intake and holley 750 should waken her up quite a bit. Wouldnt mind a 700R4 either as it currently has a TH350. 49,000 miles. Ill be glad when this is over...selling the 2JZ TT Aristo for $2500......

Good question Pete. Well I may be here for another 3 to 5 years so I am wanting to ride in style. I didnt plan on bringing it back but if I cant sell I need a plan "B". Yeah here in Japan the Vette is unique and a real sweet ride. I only paid 18K but added a few things to include rims and spoilers etc. I bought this planning on staying here awhile longer. But if my extention goes wrong or I cant sell I just needed to know I could bring back if needed. I found a sweet racing mod place for U.S. imports here and the owner is also looking into this for me. Check out the site...man makes we want to start modding now lol. Its in Osaka. http://www.sleepers-performance.com/ Oh and for the record I bought my Vette from this company here in Kanagawa. Check the site if you care too, lots of sweet rides there...I was like a kid in a candy store. http://www.fireballs.co.jp/ Terry

Thanks guys. Yeah I saw the import list but that may only apply to those cars that need mods etc. I have EMailed a couple RIs and will call customs. I cant imagine a vette not being able to come back. The only Vette that is/was made especially for Japan is the S-Spec 2009. All others should be in comliance with US specs vice what ever mods was done upon entering. Ill keep my fingers crossed. Terry
