lol look at the size of the diamonds on her hand kiwi303 BRAAP.. im off to work... I'll get in touch with ya as soon as I get home

One hell of a sound system.. and doesnt bug your neighbors lol

smoorenc.. how do you like the lizard skin? how much of each did you buy to coat the Z??! (sound and ceramic)

anyone have a full set?

BRAAP if ya end up selling all 6.. I would be interested =)

Ohh BRAAP.. you dont have any spare rods next to the hundreds of cylinder heads ya have laying around in the shop?!

oh my lol.. it looks like it!! but its not. I'll take another picture when I get home. I purposely made the bracket that way with the 1x1 tubing at an angle into the 2x2 tubing. I was trying to get the 2x2 as horizontal and flat as possible. I know its not the best design.. but its holding. Ill take a close up picture when I get home =)

240z - 9mm rods.. silly me

I really really need a 9mm connecting rod.. just a single rod since the other 5 are in good condition lol. Anyone have a spare?!

Um.. I dunno about that statement.. a molten pool is a molten pool... I dont believe a MIG vs. TIG will "cool" faster or slower. I can understand that a MIG introduces a lot of heat in a larger area, while the TIG introduces the same heat in a smaller area.. but a larger surface dissipating the heat will cool faster then a smaller area. I think its the filler metal you use on the weld that determines how soft or hard the bead is. *from my understanding*

not bad!! Looks like its possible to do a full swap for under $1000 if you shop around!! sounds like a great deal to me!

I think I have a total of roughly $185 in parts .. so it can be done rather cheaply =)

looks like a strip of fiberglass cloth... that was not properly bonded and mounted to the inner fender =(

any idea on pricing yet John? even a rough idea?!

I believe Bobby already posted a pic of his suspension in post #2.. ya need a diff. pic?

I found a local place who will bend roll cage tubing for $25 per bend.. so 4 bends on the main hoop.. 2 bends on the rear harness bar.. plus materials for the diagonal.. etc I can easily do the main hoop, harness bars and diagonal for ~$240-ish! not too bad. PS - Bandit.. thanks for the great info!!

I'm very proud of being able to do this by myself!! Its pretty astonishing to see a car upside down!!! The neighbors keep coming up trying to talk to me about it lol. I sat in my garage for about an hour just staring at it with a nice cold beer. haha. Oh and I cleaned my garage *hears clapping in the backround* PS - dont ask about the rear engine stand.. the diagonal support bar has extra steel welded all around it .. cause I ran short of tubing.. so I improvised lol.

here ya go =) http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=103860

I've been looking around at what i want to do in regards to noise/heat insulation.. My original plan was to POR15 the rails and pans.. and use HushMat/Dynomat type product on the inside.. However I am in love with the clean, glossy, painted interior.. I would like to use a product such as Lizard Skin to be sprayed on the bottom of the chassis (since my rotisserie is up and functional)... Since I have virtually no rust underneath the car, other then the frame rails.. I'm wondering if a thick coating of LizardSkin would be a good alternative for noise/heat insulation.. and a good undercoating to prevent future rust. Anyone with any experience?!

here is an example of a Quattro S2 in the old group B days.. Kevlar and carbon fiber piping!! I dont see any reason why you cant wax up a steel pipe.. lay the sleeve over.. epoxy... dry.. slide the sleeve off!! one or two layers of fiberglass with an outside of kevlar or carbon?!! perfect!!

Paul.. what tools are you using to port and grind the head?!

Hey John.. I pretty much followed your design the best i could via pictures.. could you do me a favor and tell me the center line of your stand? I dont have the height to flip the car upside down. Not like I really need to.. just want to lol.

the handle has a rubber grip on one end to prevent them from sliding out.. and also a cotter pin to prevent the other side from falling out. to be honest it takes quite a bit of force to rotate the car.. well.. at least keep the car steady.. i guess I am tensing up my muscles to prevent the car from rolling too fast. I did not lubricate the mounts on the stand.. so that may be one reason

looks great! excellent excellent color choice

lol.. drug trafficking on hybridz? there's a new one Looking great Phil! the wheels look siicckk! paint is a great color
