Tim240z Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 I picked up my R230 side shafts from Speedway this morning, and my new adjustable rear control arms on Sunday. Put in my new brake master and bled the brakes tonight. Bolt up the shafts tomorrow, and drop in the control arms....AND........after almost 5 years the Z will see blacktop!!!! As long as the rain breaks up, I'll give it a drive (the little princess will NEVER be driven in the rain ). Kinda excited now....... Merry Xmas Everyone. (just thinking.....if she hits the road tomorrow, then I guess her birthday will be on Xmas day... ) Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Z Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 The feeling you get tomorrow when you mash the pedal should make for a nice xmas gift to yourself, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smoov280zx Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Congrats Tim. Here's hoping you find a young punk in a brand new cobra bought by mommie and daddy. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Wow what a Christmas present. That would be awesome to have your first drive on Christmas day. I hope it happens for you and you deserve it after all of the hard work. I'm jealous as Hell BTW but that day will come for me as well.

If so you know your going to have to show us some videos of that baby in action! Guy I talked my boss into letting me get a sony mavica....the one that writes to 3" CDs. It can take up 3 minutes of MPEG movies.....probably won't have it until mid January though..... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 How $much$ is that going to run you? Sounds expesive...? I bought a digital camcorder but it records on MINI DV tapes...then I bought some software and a "FIREWIRE" card and cable and now I can upload all my movies on to my computer and edit them as I please. I am quite pleased with how well it works. I cant wait to have some videos of my car in action! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted December 25, 2003 Author Share Posted December 25, 2003 All in All, about $700 with all the extra goodies, like rechargeable batteries and charger, etc. It is something that I need for work anyways, I need to be able to shoot short movies of project sites.
