   I just bought a Grant model 773. Now I know you think that Grant is the king of those foam rubber deals and famous for their chain wheels! Well, they are, but this wheel is super nice! It has a decent feel with the fake leather (naugahyde). Not a bad deal at about $80 with the hub. Beats the cost of a Momo or Sparco for $200 Mike

   Hello everyone. I just wanted to take a minute and give out some info on myself to you all! My name is Mike and I live in Olympia, WA. I own a 1973 240Z. It is blue with a cream (ugh) interior. This is my 3rd Z. I have been around high performance cars my entire life and have spent quite a bit of time on the track. My current car is being used as a semi-daily driver. I am busy prepping the car for track events next year. So far I have accumulated the following parts: Square port 6-2-1 header Jet Hot Coated. 40mm Weber DCOE's w/Cannon manifold and K&N's P90, E88, N42, N47(for parts) Heads. Recaro SER seats with brackets Centerline ConvoPro 15x7.5 and 15x8.5 wheels R2…

   Can I autocross with bad floorboards?

   November 16, 2001 by redline240z

   I've got a 72 240z. The drivers side floor board needs to be replaced completly and the passenger side needs a fairly small section replaced. Other than that the frame rails all look to be in good condition. Just how much structural integrity do the floor pans provide? Can I run an autocross with them in this condition? I don't want to cause any other damage. Thanks, Chad

   I'll be in the Z with any luck at all. If not, I'll be in a '91 240SX. Either way, the car is red, number 7. Wish me luck!

    Here's my routine when getting into the car on grid at an autocross: 1. Get in the car. 2. Strap myself in (5 point harness). 3. Realize the keys to the car are in my front pocket. 4. Unstrap. 5. Get out of the car and get the keys out of my pocket. 6. Get in the car. 7. Strap myself in. 8. Put the keys in the ignition. 9. Notice my helmet sitting on the passenger floor. 10. Unstrap. 11. Put the helmet on the passenger seat. 12. Strap myself in. 13. Notice the driver's door is still open. 14. Wonder why the guy next to me on grid thinks this is so funny. 15. Unstrap. 16. Close the driver's door on the lap belt. 17. Try to strap back in. 18. Open the door to free up the la…
