'Making some nice progress man.

I loved that someone decided to make a Pac-man face on the window!

I like it alot!!! i'm doing the same thing you are, building as fast as possible on a budget. I just got my car back from getting all new panels put in and I filled and leaded in the blinkers, gas lid, and vents. I'll put more pics on my gallery!! Keep posten those pics and vids!!! looking good!!!

hmm...I had no clue. Wonder if he saw his sticker on my windshield...I have heard about the yellow one a bunch and really liked it. really clean. so was yours dtsnlvrs... Actually I was looking in your Z at the show and the parking lights were on so I shut them off for you...hope that wasn't a problem...

pac man face??? I think you are looking at the reflection of my bike's tire in the drivers window...

I'll try to make another vid this weekend. Thanks for the comments guys!!!

today I pulled most of the wiring out of my Z...pulled everything from the seat foreward...fusebox...dash harness...all of it. I am pulling the rear harness tomorrow. Also I sepersted the ignition harness from the main bundle and got most of the alternator/power wiring seperated...it went from driving this morning to being gutted of all of the wiring...I am rewiring everything from a single plate of aluminium with one bundle of connectors. It will be professional looking too. no ghetto rigging!!! The current harness has enough of that.

I removed around 25 pounds of stuff from my Z that is never going back in...I have pulled so much weight out of this car. I must be down towards 2300 right now...

ok...here are the pics from today's carnage...

1 right after removing the dash harness

2 everything removed behind the 944t

3 the ignition wires seperated

4 the mess after ignitionis seperated

5 harness in a box...anyone want one? ready to hook up everything from your extra torque bands, blinker fluid, and brake light fluid.

:-D

No problem....I have replaced all my lights with LED's so Z it would not have hurt to leave them on as they draw almost no power, however thanks for shutting them off. Also thanks for the compliments on my car....as we speak, I am in the middle of replacing the tranny with a late 5sp, thanks to deficiencies I learned on the Dragon.

aha...I have my rear tail lights in LEDs now...everything except backup lights. Now I am redoing every ecectrical system with new wire. I bought like 500 feet of grey 14ga. wire so I am set. I also have some thick stuff too.

I have just left my lights on at work before and come out at the end of an 11 hour shift at midnight and found my car dead as a doornail...got it jump started though.

one of my favorite pics from the "Tail of the Dragon"

it is a large file for the size of the pic...sorry.

how do your adjustable A-1 springs work?? I was think about buying them or the motor sports ones!!??

it works fine and is identical to the MSA setup...just parts made by a different company...I just got the QA-1 springs from summitracing.com for like $38 each and got the threaded collars from A-1 racing...it is MUCH cheaper to buy individual pieces than to buy the MSA kit... I could build the MSA kit with real camber plates for 3/4 the cost...and that is just buying from full price retailers like summit and A1...I think you can have techno toy tuning camber plates for like $350 and the rest of teh coilover setup is like another $360...you save a hundred bucks right there. Much less if you have a contact within O'reillys or Summit to get good prices.

I just stopped using MSA when I discovered you could get the toyota calipers for like 50% of the price that MSA was selling the solid rotor brake "kit" for...it was just some calipers and brake lines...I felt so ripped off.
