Yeah really nice! Â I love that color. Â Great job on the overall restoration of the car.

I'll tell you what. Â This thing sounds like an old Ferrari in my ears. Â I can't wait to get her on the open road. Â Here is the first crank video and another one fully warmed up and revving a little.

Here is my favorite part of building a car....especially a Z!  Sorry for the crappy cell phone video and my finger on the lens  STARTUP VIDEO:

Very nice. Â Â Â It is becoming more and more prevalent. "Fastest-growing developmental disability; 1,148% growth rate" Â Something needs to be done NOW.

Don't forget that people in the colder climates are just breaking out of their cabins to go play outside too! Â Ever try staying couped up in a house with no Z for four months! Â You would be outside too when the weather finally broke.

Sticky intake valve. Â Vacuum leak. Â Just a couple of random thoughts,

Sounds like a great career about to take off! Â Â Â Â hehe. Oh I forgot to add, congrats! I hope you land a job! Â Â I Always like this video from a tower in Aussie.

Yeah thought about all of those things before I made the decision. The foam cells are really pretty large. Â I think they will flow big. Â Fire? Â Yes taking a risk. Â What advantage do the $120 socks have in that arena? Do they have a special foamulation or internal screens? Each ball has a surface area of about 28sq-inches! Â Assume about half of that area will flow, that's 14in squared times 6. Â That's a respectable amount of area but I will watch for problems for sure.

The shield is a six dollar galvanized sheet lined with foil backed glass mat.

I think microphone socks might work also. Â They are more expensive and usually don't list any dimensions though.

I did NOT want to pay $40 for TWO foam socks for my triples. What I did is kind of funny.   http://cgi.ebay.com/Sponge-Balls-3-SS-BLACK-Close-Up-Magic-Trick_W0QQitemZ360121347652QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53d8e7ae44 I bought 8 of these 3" foam magic balls and carved them like a pumpkin, and then stretched them over the velocity stacks.  They fit tight, seem fuel proof, and are cheap.  I don't really care about their fine particle filtration properties, I want to keep gravel out.  Although, it seems that they will filter pretty well.  They are open cell foam, tough, stretchy, and cheap. I may spray in some filter oil if they breath well enough.  Â

 A HUGE CONGRATS to you and your wife.  He is handsome. Sounds like me three years ago.  My little 3 year old guy amazes me EVERY day.  You will see.  Mark my words. BTW: He shares a birthday with Big Phil!  Uh oh! Â

 Janaka had that red one up in Ontario tugging at my wallet for a long time... almost bit at that one.  I am glad he kept it!  He really loves it. http://forums.hybrid..._1entry710276

I knew he was kidding. Â I can tell because I am highly trained in detecting lies. Â His cell phone is NOT the only computer he has...there is also one firing the injectors in the Z.

I know the later senders have two pins. Â I think it's for a low oil pressure ignition cut out. Â Does the pressure gauge signal on the later sensors, put out the same resistance curve as the early sensors? Â Can I just stick the 240Z barrel connector onto the spade from a late sender? I have a like-new ZX sender on the engine I am dropping into my 72 and would like to know if I need to replace it or not. Thanks.

My condolences. Â The weather up here looks nice for the next 5 days. Â I would hop a flight and skip school. Â Just let the prof's know the deal.

Very nice! Â Keep us up to date on your driving impressions, and future excellent gifts from the wife.Â

I find that I get stuck behind more Toyota Camry's doing 25% UNDER the speed limit, than any other car. Â It's because Toyota has such a reputation for "ultra-reliability, low-risk, bean-counter-approved", that people who fear the sound of popcorn popping, are driving them. Â It's the ultra-safe, ultra-meek, appliance loving, non-car loving, complete risk avoidance, people that love them most. I am sure many of them have been walking to their psychiatrists upon reading the headlines about accelerator sticking!

 Looking great.  I feel that you can achieve a good sound system these days without doing any cutting of any interior.  Add a mid and sub cabinet in a clever hiding spot like the tail light area or right behind the seats down low.  The get your imaging from micro sized tweeters placed up near the headliner, seat backs, or around the dash area with double face tape.  Tuck the wires neatly and you have a good system with no "interior invasion". Â

I've done two track days with my silver turbo Z...if I wrecked it, I would be wrecked. Â Too many of my years have been put into the car. Â However, it is so much fun and satisfaction to bring something that YOU built, to the track, and then bring it back home successfully. Â I keep these days to a very minimum until I am in the position to own a "disposable" car. Â The problem is that even a "disposable" track day car, takes a lot of time and effort to put together so it's a catch 22. Â I need a car that has no personal connection to me. Â A rental?

Joe, Puxatawny Clive rolled his car out of the garage the other day and saw it's shadow. Â You are screwed!

Won't be long now! Yes it was a ****** with the trans in the tunnel, the carbs on it, the headers on it, and no load balancer on the lift...but she went in anyway.
