    I was watching some 3 and 4 linked straight axle cars running with some irs cars on not the best track. Appeared that on the flat level track sections, there wasn't a whole lot of difference, but on a really bumpy section of track is where the irs cars would have a noticeable advantage.

    Looks like you can warm up 8 gas station burritos at once without losing any in the turns.

I saw someone made one from some kind of ABS pipe last minute before an autocross because they were worried about tech, but not sure how heat resistant the pipe and glue would be.

    What front air dam is that?

    Not really the same thing but I think he dropped a Z body on a toyota 4x4 frame, so probably using those axles. Looks like they can take abuse.

    That looks like the old VW pickups with drop sides that were basically just a chopped off bus. I actually think it is a VW T3 going back and lookimng at it.

    Wasn't it Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman that said something about every car has traction control and its attached to the bottom of your legs? Or was that the guys who made the viper? Can't remember now, I guess I'm getting old.

    That's great to hear! I think I should be charging mine sometime this coming up week.

    What size are those wheels? Traction will be an issue. I was talking to this guy earlier this week with an 08 Vette with a built up engine and a procharger. it had 325s on the back I think, and he said he could spin them at 100. That's with almost 800 RWHP.

    Just checked your website, do you have any completed pictures of the Tatra? I went to their museum 6 or 7 years ago and they made some really cool cars over the years.

    I found online that the Z has an LS2 and I think automatic.

    Definitely remove the vinyl. There used to be places that would put vinyl tops on any car back in the 70s. They seemed to make roofs rust under them though.

    Most cars have fairly straight arms, but the Z has an angle where the blade attaches. A better fit may e a rear wiper sunce some of those are offset, but getting the right length and spline will probably be a huge challenge. Something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omix-Ada-19710-06-Rear-Windshield-Wiper-Arm-for-97-02-Jeep-Wrangler-/141371134424?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20ea6051d8&vxp=mtr

    I was in a jy a while back and there was a nb miata and s30 a few cars apart. I took the miata wipers and put them on the z. They did seem to fit but the wiper blades weren't parallel to the bottom of the windshield, they were up at an angle, so they didn't match the car right. Is that the same problem as the NA wipers?

    Last night while flipping channels I ran across this. It was largely commercial for all the sponsors but it had snippets from all the competitions. There was a road rally, autox, road course, build quality and stop box I think. Every once on a while you would see a. 240 for a flash. It was a pro touring event. In the end when they showed the winners the 240 got 1st place in the under 3000 pound class. It was at Laguna seca and the guys name was Mark Frazier? Anyone know if there are videos of this out there somewhere that show more of the Z?

    Does Dodge still use straight axles?
  25. socorob
    I'm not sure, that wasn't on us. We took pictures and a walk around video of it starting and showing it being loaded onto the trailer in perfect condition. Document everything!
