   Does anyone have a copy of the notable autocross instructional video that was made by D.ick Turner, to loan? You can only find short segments of it on YouTube, so you couldn't even reconstruct the whole thing with what's there. A reference to a place that sells a copy would be great too. And example of one shorted segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeCo9bC3Q8s&feature=related thxZ

   race prepped 240z-collecting dust... 1 2

   This little sweetheart has had an interesting life, as far as I can tell. The first incarnation as race car involved the addition of a baby hemi, full cage, and custom bodywork. Oddly enough, the car has its original drum brakes... The hood was custom crafted, and the tail was cut and spliced from a different make, though I don't know what. This car was a trophy winner (don't remember where-can find out easily enough, I've seen the trophy and the show photos-very nice) The builder sold the car to someone who insisted on removal of the roll cage, hemi, custom aluminum dash, and fuel cell. The hood and tail will be coming off, at some time. Apparently, the new owner …

   I am thinking of putting a Sparco EVO 2 seat in my 240Z but my friend Silverstreak brings up a good point. Does it fit? If you have done this, show me some pics of your mount and the seat in the car. I slid all over in last weeks track day on my stock seats with stock belts.:tapemouth

   Figuring Tire UTQG

   For the new autocross classes like STR, etc., you need to have tires with a UTQG rating of 140, but the rating isn't literally seen on the tire's sidewall. Instead, you get a bunch of other stuff like tread wear, traction, and temperature. So how do you go from there to the UTQG value? thxZ

   1st time

   I've got 700 miles on my fresh motor and decided it was going to stay together after all, my first build on L motor. The sun shined down and a 928 with a younger guy with blue sunglasses was looking over at a stop light. After shifting to 3rd he had enough and backed off. Big ole smile on my face and my dog, Jelly, seemed to like it too. Gotta figure out a seat belt for her. Anybody know of something?
