go to any suspension shop and have them press it in for you with the right tools. That is the best way to do it.

both of those cars a sexy as hell, and even i can afford them

Maybe you should lobby to have the graduated drivers program put in place. This is how it works. Ok, when you turn 16, you have to pass an written test to get your learners license. Once you get your learners license, you have to put a red square with the letter "L" clearly visible on your car(its magnetic). You are restricted to having only one passenger who is an adult with a valid drivers license for 6 months. Then, you go for your first road test which is a normal test. Ok, once you pass that, you move on to the "novice" portion of the drivers system, which lasts 18 months. It is basically just like having you license, but if you get caught speeding, drinking and driving, street racing, ect, you license will be taken away for a set period of time after which yo will be able to drive again or if it is a serious offence, you might not even get your license back. At the end of the 18 month period, you have to go back for a more intense road test where they test your hazard preception and driving skills. I am 21, and i went throught this program when i was 16 until the 2 year period was over. Ofcourse, i have driven like an ass, but who can really say they havent when the first got their license?? Anyway, it will probably strike fear into the minds of most young drivers. It has reduced the young drivers crash rate by 26% in my area. here is the link to the site... http://www.icbc.com/Licensing/lic_getlic_undglpe.html click on the start button and go through all of it, and maybe propose it to your city/state

i like it. Ive always thought about lowering something like a jeep. Pretty cool other than the s2000 engine.

take it in and pay $30 to have a mechanic check it out. Cheaper than replacing a bunch of stuff to find the problem.

this may be a repost but i thought id share it anyway. http://www.lateral-g.net/sandlin/ I dont even know what to say

i prefere the straight 6 over the v6.

you know, before i got into datsuns, i had no respect for 4's or 6's(other than the turbo buick engine), but i would actually prefer a turbo 6 than a v8.

good luck man, let us know if that solves the problem.

well, the popcorn popping sound is from the cold air mixing with the super hot exhaust and it explodes(from what i was told). So im gueeing it would be before your mufflers. it is usually like this POP...pop pa pop pop pop pop(POP is the LOUD one and the pop's ar the quieter faster pops) if that makes sense. I dont think it would be the leaky gasket at your headers because the air around there is already HOT as hell. im guessing it is a leak between your collector and mufflers...do you have cat converters??? if so, maybe it is leaking around there.

Yep Its is expensive and time consuming.

lol, he asked for off-the-wall, and thats what i gave him.

what about the turbo engine out of the merkur XR4TI?? it produces 175 hp at 5000 rpm and 200 ft torque at 3000 rpm. I dont know anythign about these engines so they might be crap, but it would definatly be original. its also from a RWD vehicle so the swap shouldnt be that hard.

if it is a rapid type back firing like popcorn then it is a hole in your exhaust. If it is a LOUD backfire with a while inbetween each one then it may be a fuel issue

This is the first time ive seen this and OMG, you are the man. That is going to be a crazy ass car man. Looks awesome.

what happened to the Z scottie?

Man, i love thrid gen rx7s. That is my dream car right there...minus the SBC. That car is so sexy, i want it 8)

you guys do know that that is setup. the guy that does that radio station makes that stuff up.

look how much it sold for US $3,850.00

That is ignorant and cruel. I dont find that funny at all.

im looking for around $3500 canadian(i live in BC, Canada). I smashed up my daily driver(cavalier) so im hoping to be able to get another Z with the money i get from that. I miss my Z, i should never have taken it off the road and started messing with it until i had all the parts needed to get it to the point i want it. Oh well, lesson learned. It doesnt have to be completely rust free, it just cant have rust in the important places like the floors and frame rails. I dont mind replacing a 1/4 panel or fender or whatever, but i want to have it a structurally sound as possible.

Ok, i want to buy a early 240z that doesnt have nice pain, but has nice glass. THe body must be rust free and reasonably dent free. The interior can be crap, but the dash must be mint. It must run well with no problems and no oil leaks. How much should i pay for something like this? i baught a shitty car for my project, after the paint episode, i decided i cant live withoug my Z any longer, so im buying another to replace this one while it is getting finished. I got my current z for next to nothing, because it was basically a stock running car without any interior accept the drivers seat...no dash. I just dont want to over pay for my next car. Actually, im thinking about getting rid of my current car and buying this next car to make a daily driver.

electric engine?
