How about these? Super cheap ($61) and get pretty good reviews. Anyone have experience with the Sumitomo HTR-Z. Rumors say (http://www.mn3s.org/tires.html) that it is the old Dunlop D40M2 which was an incredible tire back when.

My dad built a wooden box in the back of his Alfa Spider for me until I was about three.
I also have done 120mph laying head first in the hatch of a 280ZX in college!
Clayton, thanks, I will keep my friend Andy in touch with this thread and he may reference you. I'll let him decide. It sounds like a great place to be. If I wasn't 2 hours away, I would stop by and interview for myself!
Nah, I just needed a slap in the face....we already have two good family cars other than the Z. We are just going to miss cruising in the Z this Summer....Oh well I'll have to hire a babysitter....a hot babysitter..... lol.
Hey there, a friend of mine just told me he was going to apply to Sikorsky when I remembered that you had posted here about it. Would it be beneficial if he were to send you his resume so that you could hand it to the proper person?
He is a college friend of mine. He is an EE and was looking at the instrumentation engineer position.
He also lives in CT and yes, he is a huge car buff and helped me wire my turbo swap.

Ok last night my wife and I were half-joking around about putting a baby seat in the Z so we could cruise around in the Z with our new baby Nicholas this Summer.
I am pretty sure that it's not a good idea to mount a baby seat base to the rear hatch area...but I need someone to slap me in the face for even thinking about it.
Opinions, past experiences, legalities?
Stock Z seats are actually really comfortable and nice. A good reupholstering is sometimes all they need. You might even be able to add some additional bolstering while you have them apart. Nothing can ruin an interior faster than a mismatched style seat. For example, I hate 80's 90's square back seats in an S30. The styles just dont mix. Z seats should be thin light and narrow with rounded corners.
Wow, that's almost exactly my setup to be. Maybe I'll go with MS now. I already have the 440cc injectors NIB. Are you using Bosch "green top" injectors?
BRE Spook is your answer. I agree. Leave the skirts to chix.
BTW, Urethane airdams can take a heck of a smack into the ground and be fine if they are left unpainted.
Gee thanks, I glad you offered to help me out. I'll send you a cheque for $30,000 but I only want to invest $1,000. So please send me the change ($29,000) in US Bills. THX.
That'd be me. All you need is a simple idea, someone to mass produce it for you, a website, and a spare room in the house for inventory and shipping....oh and a good accountant.
IMHO. No body kit....just an airdam. Maybe a BRE rear lip.
Clean up the interior(wires), engine bay(clean-polish), and do something with the wheels(polish/paint/centercaps). Other than that, you got a very nice Z!
