thx..

yeah spot...too many irons in the fire and the Z doesn't get the attention it should. I prefer to price a vehicle fair and sell it for that rather than fish for that one high bid or haggle price.

Ron...you have mail thx

looks like the diameter is approx. 2 7/8" roughly.

ha ha....I don't think I can see yours any better I've got a new camera so I will snap a shot after while and take a measurement too.. thanks

thanks guys...this should send me in the right direction.

Is it hard to determine the correct pad for the Toyota calipers??? I am about due and not sure what to ask for at the local parts house? thanks again..

long time to those who may remember me...board looks great! These are hard to find...odd size hole. I am now missing one and last time I looked all day to find the set I have now. ALSO I would LOVE to buy a couple more of these rims!!! thanks

I used a brass "bleeder style" valve from the hardware store. The type that uses a needle and seat. On my 11 second Buick Turbo 6 it worked great. If I really wanted to scare my passengers I could disconnect the "exhaust" side of the valve and this ominous "whoooshing" sound would fill the car under boost Tip: keep the vacuum line i.d. as small as possible.

I have less torque than than that and run the squeeze. I launch very hard though and usually hit the button right out of the hole or as soon as the car reacts and plants the tires. I hit high 1.6 60 ft. times which is pretty brutal. In all i have broke one half-shaft in a years racing. I really feel like it was my fault for not servicing the U-joints as they were dry which gave them some slop.

ok...here's a pic of me and my best friend! http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/bornabov/vwp?.dir=/My+Family&.src=ph&.dnm=bush_chaney.jpg_1.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/bc/bornabov/lst%3f%26.dir=/My%2bFamily%26.src=ph% 26.view=t

Hey 1fstZ...I don't lurk this forum much but I'm glad i did tonight, another TX Z! And a very fast one!!! Jason from up here in Dallas has hit the 9's this year with the IRS. He has converted his over to coil-overs and can now get more rubber on it. Also, he uses a stiff spring rate to help keep from squatting so bad. A bud of mine (Fisher Racing) did a nice cage for him and built some custom half-shaft loops for safety. I don't think he's in a hurry to do another though...kinda tight working conditions for a big guy Jason reports that after (X) amount of runs (I forget the number he gave) that the rearend starts to howl bad as the pin you mentioned starts to fail...then he swaps another third member in. I want to see a match race with you two!!! We need to do a TX Z gathering next spring at a track man...I'll be there. Next season when we start the Ultimate Street Nights up again at the Motorplex would be fun. I do the announcing... I used to street race...still miss it but I think I'll pass. BTW, the quickest car at our last street night at the 'Plex bit the wall after breaking some link or mount or? on his rear end and cutting a slick. He was in excess of 125+mph. He was one of the few(!) cars that were actually NHRA legal for those speeds. Bruised but OK. I can probably get you in touch with Jason if I scrounge for his number... TX HybridZ's UNITE!!!

I really like my 700R4...especially the overdrive! I have owned and raced my car for one year now. I always drive on drag radials so the tranny gets some abuse. Low ET to date is a 11.71 hitting the nitrous as soon as the car reacts off the starting line. I have run a string of 1.67 to 1.70 60 ft. times recently. I guesstimate about 400 horse with the 100 shot of nitrous. The trans was fresh when i bought it and I am using a stock torque convertor. Driving on the freeway is great with the OD, 3.55's and 26" tall tires (235/60/15's). I have friends with non OD cars...they are not fun anymore if you drive em' much.
