Great ....let me know in PM and I'll upload some images when I can. Five sets of rims stacked takes up alot of useable space.And all of my needs are bigger and wider now.Ebay was looming for them. .........Vinny

Thats exactly the price and amount of time it took my buddy to get his in those sizes too ! He wasn't dissapointed AT ALL ! And they were perfect on his silver ZG flared S30.We painted his flares and deck spoiler etc.. to match the centers. You can't go wrong with Wat's ! ..........Vinny

I've got about 5 sets.....some polished some stock. What will they bring per set ?? .................Vinny

.........and what was her following save face comment??? " Yeah mister, thats right er..uh.....you better lay still or the next one goes through my partner arm into you !! man o' man........Vinny 8)

They are killer looking in deep dish offsets and ZG flares.......one of my best friends got his from Wheelchoice and they were awesome looking on his silver and blk. Z ! The dark Titanium grey wheel centers are perfect for it. He even got the 3-raven center caps. His experiance with the dealer was A+........real nice guy. ,...........Vinny8)

My Prayers are with all of you as you batton down the hatches. I can only hope that this thing loses more momentum every foot it travels. Catagory five is a monster of a swirler for sure.That thing is SO big.....I wouldn't be surprised if some of the after affects doesent make it into Missouri. God bless and keep you and your........Vinny

Sparky's right ..........BUT....if your spinning it with your finger...make sure its not the tip of your finger RINGING the sound as it slips away from the impellar blade! If you couldn't hear it after a spin blow with the airhose....chances are it was ringing from you. If you have had it apart recently, it is very possible that the housing wasn't pressed together completely before you tightened the nuts back on ?? Vinny....8)

That is, without a doubt, the cleanest Z theme I've seen in years ! Its just so.........tight ! Great job Alex,really ! Definatly representing Hybrid Z's well. ..............Vinny 8)

Joel, They ARE spotwelded .........run some Scotchbrite ( wrapped to something flat) around the upper deck surface around the tub lip and they should begin to apear. Drill down into them slowly and in about a 30-45 minute time ....you should be able to run a putty knife blade between the seamseal and drop her out. Or just use a cut-off or Sawzall like Aux did ! The remaining lip when cut is abit stronger. Vinny

Yes, Johns right there....about translucency if held up to light. But.....does it flex if you put one end in each hand and put a twist in oposing directions ? It might a tiny bit if its a strong cross-hatched lay-up....but not much. If its real flexy....you may want to beef it up on the back side with resin and glass to keep from accidentally puncturing or cracking the clear gel-coat . Does it fit and lay well ? ............Vinny

Holy-snap ! That wil load your shorts and quick !And SO lucky to have not slammed the wall and that photographer near it too ! ..........Just lucky !

Hi Jared, If the Urethane part is VERY ridgid.....you can sometimes skip the flex-additive. If it is like the older Z airdams that can easily bend with the push of your hand, use flex as an absolute or the paint will soon crack/fracture most certainly. It doesent require much additive to work correctly. I have found spraying the part in warm (not hot) sunlight for a part like this ,makes the topcoat flow out best with a flat high gloss because of it. The adhesision promoter you have is good insurance as well since most urethane parts weep a waxy release if new and not baked out. If the part is quite old (years) then again you could chance skipping that step as well......but I wouldn't if it were myself doing it. Good Luck.......hope it turns out slick ! ...............Vinny 8)

Looks authentic to me. My Fiance's Maxima looked almost that broken up and she was going 65mph. The trees DON"T move and are the equivelant to hitting another car head on at your same rate of speed. She and the other driver hit head on and killed them both. No blood really....just crushed and broken bodies. Geez.....I don't know why I looked at this crap, just what I didn't need to do to myself right now.I was starting to pick up again. This month was her 2 year mark from this world due to a punk steering with his knees while feeding his damn munchies. ...........V'

Larry......I am SO sorry for this to have happened .I too am a Diabetic, and it has always been a demon on the shelf taunting me. I just passed the two year anniversary of losing my Bride this past month and I can relate to your months coming. One day at a time my friend. The happy moments and times of laughter will be your best support. God bless the family and you. Vinny

SO happy for you guys Jamie ! Three women in the house ? Your SO doomed !lol ............Vinny 8)

Hey Jeff......thats a great price for something already on the shelf. You can ALWAYS make a seperation cut later to set them up like the RB26 2-piece. And about the welding of 321.......I'm still on the learning curve there. As much thought as you've put into this beast, better to have NO errors in the ex. manifold.I'll be relying on a Pro for even my Tig'd 321. Your welcome to use him if need be ? You can always tack everything in place and send them too me and I'll have him quote you a final Tig cost ? If you don't buy the HKS flange from Matt,let me know and I'll do the 25 flange Water-jet program for the mild steel 7/16 final thickness.Just a bit under 1/2" once the flycut on the mill is done. ...........Vinny 8)

Jeff......did you not finally receive your Aussie stainless manifold from your source ? I thought they hooked you up ? If not,I still have your older 25 gasket from when I was comparing ports. I should of gone ahead and made a program for water-jetting both ,not just the 26. Let me know if you want me to help on this.Whether I need to gather 321 plate and do a program burn for the 25 ? Perhaps with semi-slice going between the ports that you could cut the rest of the way through later.You;ll need to choose your plate thickness though. I'm surprized I haven't heard from you about this earlier ? Vinny

He appears to be dieing from some type of low blood pressure....the kind that makes you a Oxegen theif ! I'm sorry for nothing if his DNA gets removed ! I'm sorry anyone in our military would have even hear such BS exsists on our soil.....I doubt the French would take him either. ..........Grrrr

Dan The last time I had to deal with this I soaked the whole assembly in a tall 7-gallon plastic pail filled with Muratic acid and tap water for the afternoon. Makes a great soup ! If the Cartridge has bad corrosion...it should bubble and boil it right the hell out. It worked killer for me. Just remember to handle it with rubber gloves and safety glasses and then wash it REAL good a few times with a strong soap to neutralize the acid. Hope this helps........don't forget to use a Rose Bud torch to aid just before you pull ! Vinny 8)

Laugh at this if you must,but...............I am of the mind that your HP goals will "MAKE" the decision for you. It will go something like this......slight inward tubbing AND outward flares! Come on fellas lets be real.....1000HP will NEVER hook up with anything less than the biggest DOT slick you can get. ANd Tim you gotta feel it too ! Full sub-rails all the way to the rear cross members etc. There are alot of sub 1000hp cars pulling the front wheels up for 40+ feet......so you know this cars goals are serious. "GO WITH BOTH" !!!!!!!!! ....and take me for a ride (straight up ) Vinny 8)
