Thumper Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 ill try my hardest scottie.. but with a blown T3' date=' bad tranny, shot rear end, stock real old half shafts and Drag radials on green wheels i dunno if i can do that well.but ****.. ill try my hardest to break something! mike[/quote'] Well if you don't then they way my car has been going I will. I just drove it for 2 hrs on some nice backroads with nothing breaking. I did find out though something was already broken I just never noticed. My brake booster is not working up to par so thats why my brakes are on par with the flinestone era brakes. Junk yard here I come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure![/quote'] i think there could be a little friendly wagering going on for fastest representation of h-town presuming all person's stated attend. i'll contend that i'll be the fastest Z from h-town by no less than .2 in the 1/4 presuming i slap the car together in time. my fears... mikes slicks... and teds having a 2 week shake down head start minimum on us.

Guest 73Turbo240z Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 got a ways to go... current need to do: - Find 3.5" v-band clamp, v-band flange, and 90* or better bends... - Find 440+ cc injectors (6) that will work w/ megasquirt, debating low imp or high, don't wanna burn my box up - Get said injectors so i can finish installing my fuel rail - Acquire and install all needed MSnS sensors onto a block i've never seen assembled in it's entirety - Install motor mounts/coolant inlet/outlet and that's just to get the damn motor ready to go in, not counting the other stuff. and then theres still the fact i'm wearing a decrepit old R180 that has a snowballs chance in _____ of living through this motor.
