Just kinda playing around here, but it's been WAY too long since I've posted anything, and over 10 years since the last SEZ Shootout at Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, GA, I thought we should do a roll call to see who is still around. If you've EVER attended any of the SEZ Shootouts at Silver Dollar Raceway, that were held in the past, chime in with your username, where you drove from, and what car you were running at the event. If you can remember any details of which years event(s) it was, post those too. This ought to be fun, nostalgic and a little sad, all at the same time. I'll Start. Warren, Marietta, GA, 82 280ZX Turbo, several years

BTW, I have a brand new F40 Spoiler/wing (with center tail light) that I could probably be convinced to let go of, since it'll never be mounted on my car. Money talks...

That's the POS spoiler that was on my car when I got it...costed me a rear hatch from the rusted mounting holes, as well as 2 huge patches just behind the rear side windows for the same reason. NEVER AGAIN...

Amen to that... I've been doing locks for the last 25 or so myself, have rebuild many a lock, but the cylinders wear out LONG before the tumblers do in most cases. Couldn't have said it better myself...and all I do is automotive and motorcycle locks.

Looked good to me.

Yet another PM Sent.

I've done it and it was a total PAIN IN THE ARSE! Plan on removing the entire dash board, dash support bar, and mucking with alot of vacuum lines, not to mention changing things around like the heater control valve for the manual unit...IF you can find one. It's different and NLA at Nissan. Do I like the manual system? Yes. Did I really gain anything other than a more reliable AC system with less vacuum line hassles? Yes, would I do it again? Absolutely NOT. Not much gain for the effort. Your mileage may vary, but remember, you asked. Warren

This is the exact reason why there is not and hasn't been a DNI/SEZ event scheduled. Almost NOBODY shows up. Everybody WANTS to be there, but when it comes down to it, there's always something else to do or needs to be done. It's all fine and well to WANT to put something together, but it's just not worth the effort when only 6 people show up. Heck, at this point, we can't even get people to come to an event put on by another club. Sorry, I just had to be the one to stir it up (as usual). Warren

Been having this one for a while now.

4.5" backspacing, same as the Mustang standard, rear tires are Hoosier slicks 26x8's on 15's. Rear suspension is Tokico blues with a custom made 1" aluminum spacer added atop between the body and shock mounts. Front suspension is Tokico blues with Techno Toy Tuning camber adjustment plates.

See the V8 Forum, I posted pics there without realizing which forum it was...

Crappy Pictures, but you'll get the idea...

I believe the OP was referring to using 2005+ tail lights, not 1965...but I do like the look of the work you've done.

I'm pretty sure that most of you on here have already seen this, but I'm posting it again, with the hopes that it'll answer some of the questions regarding fitting the Mustang tail lights into the rear of a 240/260/280 (First Generation Style) Z. Keep in mind, this install was done on an 82 280ZXT, which we already know has MUCH larger tail lights than the 240/260/280. Also, keep in mind that the leader screen and trailer screen were in response to a few purists who said I'd be messing up "MY" car by doing this body modification. Don't be offended, just "Get Over It"... It's MY car. Click for Video (you might want to right-click and save as, as it's a LARGE (13.9 Meg) file and may not play properly using a single click)

Pallnet, I read that too and thought "Not a good idea, but who am I to say anything?". Seems I'm not the only one who was wondering about the JB Weld comment below. Warren Pete Sprenger, This is a quote from post #1 in this thread.

Makes sense, just kinda weird. You'd think that it'd do that stuff in the background and keep the site up and available. Thanks for the insight Joel.

For some reason, in the last couple of weeks, when trying to access the forums (or the entire site for that matter), I get a "Service Unavailable" message starting exactly at 1:00am EST until at least 1:45am EST. Has happened nightly for the last 3 weeks that I know of. I have no problem accessing anything on the internet except Hybrid Z at those times. What's up with that?

Damn, I hate broken picture links, and there are 5 of them in my post above. Since I can't edit THAT post, I've fixed the links in this one. I'll take the liberty of re-posting the whole thing, edited as it should be. Sorry about that folk. It should read and show as follows. Keep in mind, mine is in an S130, but the B&M Quicksilver shifter sat a little too high for my liking without making a 2.5" deep tray for it to sit in mounted through the tunnel. I was able to retain and use the stock housing (cover) for it by doing it that way. It's a close fit on top of the tranny (under the tunnel), but it fits without hitting. Click on these thumbnails to view the pictures in larger format. It did require a little welding and fabrication to make the tunnel tray, but it fit so well, I'm pleased with the result. I used a Dakota Digital readout embedded in the dash for the shifter position indicator (mounted where the "Check" display was). Thanks for letting me show these with the hopes of helping someone. Warren

probably NOT what you're looking for, but the stock piston is on the left... http://www.freewebs.com/customlock/pistonsrods.htm

Near 92 & 120, and Thanks!

I'm right here in Dallas myself. Have an S130 though, so I guess that doesn't meet your criteria, but you never know.

See this? http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/109456-xclusive-koncepts-customer-issues/page__pid__1025652?do=findComment&comment=1025652 He just posted something there a few minutes ago.

It's FAR from stock. i.e...MSA body kit, Triple Webers, etc etc etc....
