March 4, 200718 yr comment_201251 Hah! I'm going to post the first pictures from the Roadster show! Since it decided to not rain today, I drove my 240Z up from Springfield (~110 miles) this morning, arriving at about noon. I left the show a bit earlier than I'd have liked, but wanted to make the trip home before dark - I don't have headlight relays yet, and don't want to drive after dark and risk the fusebox if I don't have to. Hung out with a7dz, beandip and nwcubsman for a while before driving back home. Here are a few shots of some of the Datsuns, including Mike's. P.S. - The little white 1200 is an electric drag car, 30 12-volt batteries, does 0-60 in 3.5 sec., and has done the 1/4 in 12.151 @ 106!!

March 4, 200718 yr comment_201253 Well so much for me making it at 5:00. Dammit. I headed in after playing Z cars with John and Rodger and checking Proxes tire sizes at Les Schwab's and it was 5:24. Sorry guys, when it's not raining I am outside I guess. Those cars look awesome, I heard that there were triple SU's on your Z Mike! Veeerry cool. Thanks Arne for posting the pics. I remember helping push the White Zombie around at Blue Lake... I think that my back still hurts from that I have to say that car is amazing, just think how fast it would be if it wasn't 2400 plus pounds! Again, sorry for not making it guys, it would have been great to see ya. Congrats to the cars that were in the show, they look amazing.

March 5, 200718 yr comment_201304 Mike,did you have to fabricate that air cleaner cover? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23481-datsuns-at-the-pdx-roadster-show/?&page=2#findComment-201304 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 5, 200718 yr comment_201305 Yea, the aircleaner is completely original (err... I mean 'original design' or custom fabricated). Steve at Z-therapy put together that entire setup.The filter was also cut and lengthened to fit properly.

March 6, 200718 yr Author comment_201313 Steve owns ZTherapy. This setup runs so well vs some of the others (triples especially) and inquiries have been such, that we are running some numbers to see where they will come out price wise if we gear up to produce a short run of triple sets (carbs, linkage, manifolds, balance tube, & heat shield) "No aircleaner".If any of you have a triple itch that needs to be scratched, give me a holler, cause I'm guessing this won't be a volume deal.....
