Sleeper-Z

mike, the marquee i believe is the one off of i-10 by memorial, i think? i'll try to get more information on it and post it the middle of this week. name's steven by the way. e-mail me at sleeper-z@houston.rr.com; i think i'm going to scoop up some draglites this week if everything goes right. the only other person i've talked to in person with a z is Igor, which is the red 260z with the white stripes. thanks, steven m. ps. please e-mail me at sleeper-z@houston.rr.com about the wheels.

mislabeled one of the pics on the website. this is actually the image of after it was sand blasted.

yessir, didn't leave a green tint, but it did remove some of the shiny-ness from the original color. steven m.

i don't have the greatest blast box, and when i do blast, i have the tendacy of getting every crevice and every part uniform. maybe took an hour, but it seemed like days! thanks for the compliment, steven m. slicks and paint should come in shortly.

checking in again.... any word on a meet for us? -steven m. found this on another forum if i can find some wheels for my z i'll be out there.

Well the rattle can wasn't holding up to well so I powder coated my control arms (tubular; chromoly). After hours of prepping and then coating, I was pretty happy with the results. http://home.houston.rr.com/tbserv/control.htm go here for pics of the control arms http://home.houston.rr.com/tbserv/index.htm go here for pics of my car http://www.hscoatings.com go here for more information about powder coating thanks, steven m. powder coated rear control arms showing and new wheels

Hey, I've decided to chagne the way my alternator is mounted. I've fabricated a chassis brace for the alt. bracket but i really don't trust it, although i do have solid motor mounts i rather just have the alternator to the motor. the only problem is my heads don't have any mounting holes and the "low mount" type style won't clear the steering shaft. a "side mount" would be perfect for the drivers side but i can't seem to find any. Thanks, Steven M.

the past owner of my shell 'noszcar' ran a 9.90 on a open r200 and 26" slicks out rear. but an independent rear can only go so far... -steven m.

I've got the sensing and main wire, but where do i hook up the indicator lamp? can I leave it empty, ground it, put a resistor, or hook it up to a light? i want to run it w/o an indicator lamp though. thanks, steven m.

Search on these sites http://www.rx7club.com http://www.teamfc3s.org/forum although it doesn't go in depth of swapping you will find much information about the rotary itself. these are the trims 13bt 87-91 rx-7 2 rotor single turbo 13bt-rew 92-95 rx-7 2 rotor twin turbo 13b-re Cosmo 2 rotor twin turbo 20b Cosmo 3 rotor twin turbo here is a link to a 4 rotor build http://www.autotechmotorsports.com/projects-4rotor.htm Here is an example of a 500hp N/A 4 rotor by Scoot. http://members.dslextreme.com/users/erika/scoot.wmv http://www.epoch-net.ne.jp/yasu/777/4re_001_b.wmv

i think i'm opting for 18 gauge. talked to my teacher about it and he also recommended 18. for support i'm going to cut out the stock outboard box sections and weld in some structural steel channels (probably 4 X 1-1/2 X 3/16) and possibly triangulate it or X it with another peice. This way, it should be stronger and i can have a lower seat position.

alrite cool, now that i got the right name for them 'floor support channel' i've been able to find alot of sources. thanks for the quick replies!

Hi Guys, I was wondering what is the recommended Gauge to use for the floor support and floor pan? Thanks again, Steven M.

Well, I'm either being cheap or smart, but I'm leaning towards smart. I'm trying to locate some steel channel with wings as shown. I don't want to buy some sort of "kit" but just bare channel so it will be cheap, if worse comes to worse, I'll buy regular channel and just weld off of that, but I like the idea of the wings. Also, does anyone here know what the dimensions are for the floor support on the 240z's that Zedd Findings makes? Great website you guys have here. I've found everything i read useful information which is rare on automotive forums. Thanks! Steven M.
