"Robin! Get me the anti-shark spray!" lol. But the LED switch would be interesting to see.

I say fashion some sort of flip up swiss army knife...eh, maybe that's too much. Wait, this is Hybridz. Or maybe put a bottom on it and use it for business cards. Ok I'm sorry it's a long, slow day at work.

So just a simple question like I said, is the bracket on the bottom of the grille important to anything? The grille I have on my car now has it, but I picked up another grille at the JY and it didn't have it. Just curious (sometimes too curious for my own good). Thank you much.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1721077452.html Turns out the car is being sold on craigslist. Many lawls. Edit: A..um...SIMILAR car is being sold on craigslist? >cough<

^ I love it. japanesenostalgiccar.com is one that I frequent (lost interest in speedhunters, too much "hellaflush" and hondas for me). It also has a forum section which is pretty good, even though there are more Aussies on it (at least the datsun/nissan section).

I like your taste in the naughty my good man. I still remember the one time I went to the U.S.S Intrepid Museum in New York. It was a real treat.

"Hey honey I'm taking the buggy down the coast for a little bit" ...

Before everyone else jumps in...Grammar, punctuation, search, lather, repeat. In addition to the search, there is a whole section for stuff like that. Welcome to Hybridz.

Ouch. I was looking at the amber lenses and some interior body panels. Now that I'm hearing all the horror stories from people that actually got in touch/bought from them, some serious doubts are occurring.

Good luck with that. I've been trying to get stuff from them for a while but it's like they fell off the face of the earth. No replies to e-mail, phone, etc. If you do hear/see/find anything let me know.

I'll definitely be watching this since I might have to go a similar way and I don't have the time to do a painless.

Hey cygnusx1, which film did you choose? I tried looking up 1973 and they only have mercades and porche. Was it a universal one or...?

Quoted from Japanese Nostalgic Car (JNC): "SEMA SECURES U.S. SENATE RESOLUTION DESIGNATING JULY 9th AS “COLLECTOR CAR APPRECIATION DAY†Lawmakers Acknowledge Importance of Collection and Restoration of Historic and Classic Cars Washington, D.C. (May 10, 2010) — The United States Senate passed Senate Resolution 513 (S.

Ah, whenever I see Tony D post, I can't help to think of Judge Dredd, somehow with the cool helmet.

Calgary: That sounds pretty much like a HOA, and I have sifted through the novel of "Rules and Regulations" and it is funny how many people I can see that don't follow those rules, and it makes me wonder if they get the same "warnings" that I do. On another note, it seems someone was shot outside the building this morning, and when I parked my car on the street last night there was a bumfight pretty much where I parked in front of the building next door to mine. There goes the neighborhood, oh wait...

Hmmm....I do have a turkey baster...and there are pets in the building....hmmm ideas.

Ok, I must have some super stain...laquer thinner didn't work. Acetone didn't work. I'm thinking Muriatic Acid by now.

Holy.cheese.on.rye.

I don't smell coolant, but what you described sounds almost exactly like what my car is doing. I don't know if the cold start is on or not. It doesn't look to bad , but considering I havn't had this motor for a month yet I'm realllyyy hoping its not a head gasket.

Thanks, I'll keep it updated when I do it.

Sweet, then after I pull that it should be somewhat easy to see if the cold start sensor is good or not.

Well, the main intention of this was that I felt it was blown way out of porportion for a oil stain maybe 10" diameter at most.

I'm guessing that injector would be near the front of the motor?

I'll take a look into it. The mechanic I got the motor from said he was looking into a old style fuel controller. He described it as a small box with a few dials, for example dial 1 would be 2k rpm to adjust rich-lean. He said that would help with the richeness, but I'll see what I can do without that.

...I didn't know there was a choke for EFI. And yes, I start it, let it sit for about a minute or 2 and go, and the exhaust is straight.
