thanks for the info. I was thinking of fabing in adjustable pins, we will see. I guess I am over thinking this.....and the 2000 lbs would be the extreem top side. I never know what might land at my door to work on........

So i have searched for most of the day with no luck finding an answer to a good engine stand. I am 6'1" and with that comes the drawback of having to live life as a mechanic in a constant state of lower back discomfort...... not fun! (I know why drive a Z......). With most of the stands that I have looked at are pretty low, I would like to have it sit above the waist but not higher than the chest. Now I turn to my fellow HBZ fans in search of a versatile heavy duty (around 2000 LBS) stand to hold my L28 on while working in a comfortable position. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated (other than the obvious..... work from a chair, the ground, cut my legs off......). Also what are the drawbacks to design?? I know the three wheel stands have a high chance of tipping. But are there adjustable height stands out there??? Google was a bust..... no help there. Just wondering. Maybe others share my problems......

LOL that is the sweetest ricer coolant overflow tank EVER!

I know we all know this but just to clear up any doubt...... the "best" plugs are mostly based on opinion. unless we see some clear facts, IMHO its all by the seat of your pants/ or if it actually fouls and you know there is a problem. Now we might see a jump in MPG or have the best get up and go ever, but its all very dependant on the rest of the car......... And now i can get off my soap box.

LOL thats a great way to revive a DEAD thread! FWIW I like the look of a clean intake...... good job Braap

He has been trying to sell that for a LONG time!

WOW big money! It sounds like you have done a little looking around and know what you want. What are your goals?? speed, power, ect..... Do a search for those swaps check out what you will need to do. Then get it done! Take lots of pics.

YES. hence...... This is a very common miss use of terms and abbreviation. One of my small pet peves.

Best fix for the glove sweat is cotton liners. but then you might as well get different gloves..........

YES. and to all those who don't because they cant "feel" things i have the solution..... Proflex 720 gloves. I guess you could cut the fingers off an old pair... but this is the cure for me!!!

I guess i could take a stab at this one......... check out some of the FAQ threads http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=130099 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115904 ect....... There is A LOT of reading but you can get the just of it...... As far as tuning you should check out the aftermarket ECU threads. Hope that helps a little......... Your biggest friend here is a little searching

LOL every time I jack up the car i hear crunching noises!

Just a side note....... If the Fel-pro gaskets are the Perma Torque series, those are Multi Layer Steel (MLS). so you are set

I have a drivers side door with Window trim. willing to ship from seattle area if you cant find one local. PM me if you need it!

The tape deck is a BIG seller for me!!! I say keep looking wait for the right moment and don't get sucked into a car just because its a Z! There are other treasures out there

Welcome to HBZ!!! Pics would be great! Its great to hear about another life saving moment with a Z..... But documenting it is EVEN better!!! Hope to see it soon!

Check rockauto..... the are a great place to start any parts search...... They have 2 HG listed not sure if they are steel or not......

The only difference in intake gaskets would be the exhaust side there is round or square. check the head sticky to compair.

most of them are graphite.......

I have been looking at the same kit. I would use a metal HG though just to be safe

Hope its fixed soon! work is SLOW!!!

LOL duh for me! Thought i had seen them before, I just read about the IMSA flares....... guess I missed that part....

I saw this on CL up here in Seattle. It looks nice but in my opinion you wont get what you think...... I am thinking around 15,000. But it seems a little over the top with the scoop on the roof??? People all ways try to get as close to what "they" put into a car when a buyer looks at what he needs to change. Althogh I aboslutly love your bubble fenders where did you get those?
