Umm... the links don't work!
J/k lol
-
haha thats funny

wow...
where the hell is the shifter on Tyler's project? lol
remote shifter?
-
Justin I meant to say the flange is cut in two *places*.. which would mean 3 total pieces.
The "washers" from the intake manifold to hold the flange down just worries me .. if not torqued to spec or the bolts become loose at all.. the flange will shift all over under the washer.
-
bad idea..
if you get into an accident those speakers and amplifier will RIP off the Velcro and catapult itself into the front of the car.. or YOU.
find a way to mount them better

I remember reading an article about the Mitsubishi Evo 9 with aerodynamics work on the front bumper with small diffusers right before the front wheels. It was a really neat picture of the underside of the front bumper..
Now I can't find it.. grr. But it's exactly like what your talking about John!
-
Oh Jon I didn't even think about your post about the airflow around the sides of the car.. oops! I was just thinking about where the air could go when under a car. I'm sorry! I should of read your post about the semi's lol.
Otherwise Jon, I completely agree with you.

Having VG's on the front splitter of the car will help organize the airflow.. like mentioned above..
but a full smooth underbelly/under tray like on race cars would be useless.. there is no flow separation UNDER the car except at the rear of the car.. which diffusers sort out.
Now air separates and exits out of the sides as well.. but VG's would be pointless on the sides of a car.. thats why race cars are so low or add side skirts.
In our case.. adding VG's on the front splitter for our Z's would help since our cars have a wild mess and lots of interference and parts sticking out...
and I suppose adding VG's on the bottom of the stock gas tank would help too, but nothing noticeable.

I have not seen the bottom of a race car with any type of vortex generators..
They always have SMOOTH bellies
Venturi tubes and front/rear diffusers are much different then a vortex (low pressure) generator

I would LOVE to own a kit car..
Hell some of the Factory Five kits are amazing and they handle!!
Ferrari and Porsche and Lambo.. ok those are an obvious.. you don't buy them purely for looks..
Other kit cars though? They have the looks and you can build your own performance! In the end you have a cool car.. who cares if its a "replica kit car"

Btw v8260 i like your profile quote " If you want everyone to hate you, drive a bimmer" This is so true, I get ragged on for driving a $3500 325is with 220K miles on it like im rich!
*cough*

"the matter of the fact is..." or.. "the fact of the matter is.."
girls love to use that stupid phrase and NEVER get it right
-
Ah that makes alot more sense.
Thanks! It looks great!
-
anyone notice the FLANGE is cut in two pieces?!
I can understand to prevent the manifold from warping due to uneven heating..
But damn.. one bolt to hold TWO exhaust runners on a flange and prevent leaking or a torn gasket?!
-
search around for a electric FSM or if you can find a printed one.
Should have a complete vacuum reference diagram
-
HONEST TO GOD!.... if somebody shows me a link or someone with a 280z CARBON FIBER GOOD (with the grillz) im down to buy that ♥♥♥♥... i want a 280z carbon fiber hood with the grilz for my Series ONE Z... that would look BAD ASS! i say you guy smake these. i got 5 on it. that youl have buyers left and right for those hoods
Umm.. only 240z hoods are available.. you will have to buy or retrofit the louvers on
-
few questions..
Where did you get the 7" lens? did you modify an old 7" headlight and cut a hole for the new projector?
Im confused why you mentioned the BMW E46 Bi Xenon headlights.. when it looks like you used the Acura TL (ZKW replica's) projector..
so did you use the E46 HID ballast!?
-
I've been looking around for the VME HID kit without a lot of luck..
I have found a bunch of random companies on eBay.. you can't tease us like this! more pics and info!
-
ohh man.. those are sooo sexy
-
wow! thats crazy!
-
was this just a mock up on an old hood before you cut holes in the C/F hood?!
or did you prime the carbon fiber hood in flat black?!
-
LoL.. mass confusion.. look what I've started..
let me specify.. airplanes have disc brakes.. complete with a caliper and all.
you can get technical and talk about air brakes and spoilers and flaps to slow the airplane down.. but thats a new thread lol
I'd be interested in trying out this new speedometer! maybe it's a much quicker/accurate device then what is in my putt putt propeller driven device.
-
Looks to be a cheap SS Auto Chrome turbo kit.
otherwise it was all pieced together separately
-
LoL.. im just using that as an example.
Yes airplanes have brakes.
I've just noticed when I do sudden changes in throttle or altitude the reading on my airspeed indicator and GPS are delayed by about 2 seconds or so. This is with a King GPS
