Drax, Is that your shop? I wish mine were that clean!!! Rufus

ZR8ED, Did you just pick that up? Rufus

Yea I'll take some tonite...It's pretty cool I share it with this guy who does junk removal so itis a little dusty!!! But he has a couple of Bobcats and welders, drill presses, cut off saws etc... Plus I have a huge tool box so I usually have what I need... comes in handy. Just wish it was in my backyard!! See the Go Kart hanging behind the Z? I test stuff like that at work. Top Speed, braking distance, stability, max load etc... FUN!!!

I'm down for a 2XL. Let me know when.... Rufus

Yea it's in an old building that used to house mules and horses that pulled the ice wagons. Back when there were no fridges people used huge ice blocks to keep their sh^t cold. Check out the mysterios balls of light floating around....spirits maybe?

Thats my girl...got her underwear showing again!!!

JSR Forever Baby!!! Well maybe not forever.......but at least till spring!!!

Speachless...completly speechless.

How did you get it cheaper than the reserve? Made an offer after it didn't sell? I love the color! How easy does the removable glass top come off? Pretty cool feature. Rufus

Congrats Ross! If you have time, (and are allowed to discuss) what kind of project did you have going on? Rufus

Just a hint... try a search before yoiu post. All the possible answers you have to these questions can be found by searching, as Gabe said, in the paint & body section. After you get an idea of what is out there, ask these guys specific questions regarding specific brands or products. You will get a lot farther than general ones. Try these for a start. http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=50-1560 http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=50-1561 Rufus

YEA!!!! I thought it was going to go like this though: "managed to hold the lead until lap 21 where, upon noticing...the stands had ground down to nubs!!!" Now I have to take a picture of mine tonite in it's current wheel stand position!!

Thanks man!! I got the coil from the local parts store so I'm pretty sure its not that. My next step was going to be a moduale so its nice to get a similar opinion as my own. I appreciate the reply. Rufus

Congrats Mike!!! Those cars a very nice. Lucky for the car to wind up with an owner who has such understanding and respect for fine automotive engineering!! Have Fun, can't wait to see some pics!! Rufus

C'mon guys...anyone got any ideas? I know some of you are elctrical gurus!!! Thanks, Rufus

Alright Guys, Not a Z but my Bronco that I bought about two weeks ago, I was fixing a leaky heater hose when I noticed the coil was loose just sitting on top of the block next to the distributor. So when I picked it up one of the two wires that plug into the coil snapped. Not thinking much of it I spliced it and started the beast to bleed the cooling system. The truck was running rough, but I ran it long enough to get the air out of the cooling system. So I cleaned up and went to leave. It just turned over would not start. Did some checks, power to the coil with the key in the run position but no spark when cranked. When I started looking around I found a lot of in fact all of the wires in the front harness connected to the distributor were hard, cracked, and had the core exposed. They were all taped up so the previous owner obviously did some rigging. Today I went and got a front harness from a salvage yard and picked up a new coil just to be safe. I spliced in the new harness, mounted and installed the new coil. The truck started right up and ran great...for about five minutes then it just quit. I thought..fuseable link. There was none one the old harness but there was on the new one so I checked it..it was ok. Now I had the same symptoms... 12 volts to the coil but when I crank it voltage actually goes down to about 8 volts. Any ideas guys... I am at a loss. Thanks, Rufus

I dont think you could use just a cap unless...Maybe after I get my carbon fiber cap you could get one from fcz then maybe use some of that high density foam ( like the stuff movie or theatre guys make fake rocks out of) and cut a piece to go inside the cap... that might work....got me thinking....

What the ...... Gas pedal in the middle????? Are you serious??? Man..are you kidding me or what?!?!

Hey Jon, In the movie you posted are these guys doing what you called heel-toeing? Rufus

For the amount of hassle involved I would stay away from it. Besides what will your dad say when you block his vette in with it?!?

Although I am nowhere near you I thought I might add my 2cents. It sounds like a great idea except for the sharing of tools portion. The sharing of tools would be a great asset to those that do not have them but as for you the owner of the tools you might see them disappear quickly. Unless you had a camera or an employee working the tool room you would never know who was using what. I currently share a garage with someone. I pay a reduced rate because I let him use my tools , compressor, etc.. Even though this person takes great care of my tools it is still a constant problem. At one time he even lost the keys to my box. Anyway the picture of the garges that you posted look awesome. If I could swing it I would pay $300 a month for a space. If I was allowed to bring in different cars at different times i.e. side jobs, I might pay $500. All that said, it seems like a very plausible buisness venture especially if they were to have all the emenities listed on the site you provided. Good luck, I will be interested to see what the other responses are. Rufus

I have a set, I could measure them tonite if you want. Rufus

TFTT!!!

OK guys you use tons of these things that I have no idea what they mean!! Are your coded messages some sort of global threat? j/k See that is one I figured out!! What do RMFLO and the others mean? I figured out IMHO and j/k but those are the only ones I can get through my thick brain!!! Anybody got help? Rufus Oh yea... I got FWIW as well!!

Drax, That is the most hilarious and relevant insight I have seen so far!!! I nearly puked up my lunch laughing so hard!! The very first post would be one you listed last though... "Do a search"...followed be a paragraph or two about why they should search...at the end would be a reponse to the question anyway!!!
