True School 240Z

Wow Lewis, I feel your situation completely. I just got back on the boards here at HybridZ and still have 2 240Z's I'm considering selling due to my financial situation. Not to influence your decision but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'm glad to hear you got it back. I put myself in your place just now and that feeling sucked.

That's me. Don't mind the 12K asking price, that's for regular folks. HybridZ members would get at least a few G's off that price. This whole Z community has been good to me. If a fellow member wanted to get into a ready made Vildini SR20DET Z I would work with them. I might post it in the buy/sell/trade section, but I am reluctant. I just drove it the other day and it was great. On the other hand, these mortgage payments are top priority right now. If anyone is interested call me at 310-292-9550. Thanks for pointing it out Motorhead! I was wondering who would spot the ad first.

L28's suck, just kidding! really I'm kidding. I'm not trying to start another engine versus engine bias-fest. I'm actually back to my humble beginnings with a stock L24 (I got my first Z back). My SR20DET powered Z will be going up for sale soon (I'm in escrow for a condo and need the extra money, click the vildini link below) Yellownor you'd probably be better off with an L28ET being your first swap in the S30 and all. Good luck with whatever you go with. -Scatter

i guess you've got to make it as hard as possible to get to the sticker. Those who can't get legit tags find that it's easier to steal someone else's rather than make fake ones.

i was wondering about this site and if anyone or anyone they know has actually used this site to buy a car. Supposedly there is an inventory that updates weekly. http://www.readytofix.com thanks! -Scatter

"True School 240Z" = Keepin' it real...yaknawmsayin' Respect the old school and mold the new school.

So Boate, Is your car white? I think I've seen it before. I'm another of the Vildini customers. I have the blue '73 with the pantera hatch. Alex, if you really are heading up to Palmdale let me know, I still need to time my car. -Scatter

Macross started it for me. I wish I had the time to catch up on all the new joints. On a related note, I was bugging Owen to dub Wangan Midnight in a hilarious fashion. I was even donating my voice over skills to the job.

Right on Hugh! Your project is looking good. Vildini is on a roll.

Yeah, Chill Homies. Viola, get that RB25DET for your Z and get something cheap to roll daily and get that Z back on the road. So we can race. heheheh.

I was thinking about the Lancaster/Palmdale area north of L.A. you've got plenty of land at a relatively low cost, and Los Angeles County Raceway right there, but almost anywhere in the greater LA area it's a So my suggestion is to look in the suburbs surrounding the Northern Cali Bay area like Pinole, or Hercules or around Sacramento or Davis. Good Luck Jon.

I'm genuinely glad you escaped injury. Take care.

Very Impressive! My short term goal is to reach 11 sec. What did you ditch to get your 260 that light?

Get a nice cheap civic/corolla/sentra. A good one will last you for a bit while you resurrect your Z. We have to race sometime. I look forward to you getting your 3.1 straight six back on the road. Good luck.

Art on wheels man. I noticed the round taillight housings. What lights are going to go in there?

That looks great! The manifolds make for a clean looking install. You guys are making me want another Z. This time with an RB instead. Good job!

Anybody here have an autopower rollbar? If so, any idea what that thing weighs? I don't want to take it out to find out. I'd appreciate it.

Yeah I figured 'cause of your avatar. That's dope. I've met some other Hybrid cats that are into the culture and music aside from our common love of cars. Nice to meet another one. You do graf, spin, break, spit or what? ISK One was already a big sign in terms of your stance (b-boy stance). Soul Position's first album was amazing. the Paid dues festival is gonna be ridiculous. I better stop before I get lambasted for speaking in code or whatever. Hit me up on myspace if you got one, I want to know more about the scene up there aside from Nasty Nes, Mix-a-lot, Old Dominion and whatnot. That 510 is gonna be some work. But I can imagine how tempting that is, try not to give in. Think about your 240.

The damage is likely to be a bit more severe than it looks. The price is nice at a G. However here in LA I've run into a good share of dimes that are straight but have some minor rust issues at a decent price. I don't know how abundant or rare they are up north, but this one looks like a handful. I've been looking to get a 510 for some time. On another note, Isk are you a Def Jukkie?

no biannual required smog checks as with post 74 cars, but the man can hassle you and pop your hood if they are so inclined.

So you're joining the SR20 cult, eh? Good luck with the project. As everyone else said you should start on the rust elimination and other body work before putting in a new engine. Rust only gets worse as time goes by. post pics when you can.

Thanks for giving the old stuff a listen. Tyson, Del is one of my top 10 MC's, snd the Deltron project with Dan the automator(Gorillaz) is one of the best concept albums ever attempted. Atmosphere has been putting it down for the midwest for a long time. Good beats teamed up with a very capable storyteller. I appreciate the stuff that Gollum has on his page. I draw inspiration from all forms of music. Hiphop is a culmination of all sorts of influences. I'm inspired by everything from Led Zep, the Doors, and Black Sabbath to Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck to RUN DMC, KRS ONE and MF DOOM, hell even Kenny Rogers has a special place in my musical pantheon.

Nice...
