Thanks Bruce, I'm super excited about the instal. Not only am I getting a killer set of Carbs but having it Proffesionally installed and tuned will make the whole trip worthwhile.

I'm actually looking into another motor for the Red 70'. So if that works out, I'll have a more workable motor that will make things easier to tune the carbs on. We'll see though. The guy's gonna do a compression test on it and get back to me. $150 ain't to bad, eh?

I know that some of the usual suspects from NorthWest Z will be attending the Rose Cup Races in Portland instead of Canby. I will be at Canby on Sunday, however.

Hey Bruce, It's "Dave Irwin" but we get the idea.

I fixed Bruce's typo.

Thanks, now I gotta fix mine, Why you gotta make me work so early in the morning Arne? Thanks by the way for the quick info on the valves the other day. The damn intakes were at or below 6 and the exhaust's was right at 10. Almost a full turn out of correct.

Good news is no more ticking and sounds great. Even the Webers are more tunable now.

Extended weather forecasts are for sunny and mid-to-upper 70s on Saturday and Sunday. Best weather in this part of the country so far this year!

I should be there. I registered for the car show at the last minute. I was planning to bring my 1972, but I may try to bring my blue car instead.

Gonna attempt to bring BOTH Z's this year. Just installed the 260Z motor into the 70' and the Green Z is gonna get it's SU's back cause I can't tune these Webers without all the right parts and a complete teardown and rebuild isn't possible in the short amount of time I have until we leave for Canby.

So I'll throw my old polished SU's onto the 70' and put the Current SU's back onto the green Z so both Me and Tyler will get some decent Gas Milage there and back. I (rather Tyler) would love to drive the green 72' with the triple Webers but I don't think he wants to cover the Gas it'll cost there and back when it's probably under 15MPG.

We all hope to leave Saturday Afternoon or noonish. be there about 4pm. Find Bruce and Steve or one of them and see what we all wanna do about the SU instal for the show or the evening. This 2.6 will look and run AWESOME with a new set of tunes ZT SU's. Can't wait. Hell, you could even call me Giddy...

Dave

Depending on the weather, I'll be there. I still haven't replaced these stupid wheels/tires... damn!

Depending on the weather, I'll be there.

Forecasts are looking promising, but still too early to say for certain.

How long have you been talking about ditching those wheels, now? 3+ years?? :tapemouth

Getting closer and the weather keeps looking better. They just changed it for the seattle area to No rain on Friday and low 70's for Sat and Sun.

Should be a Beautiful drive and great event.

Getting giddy again.

Dave

Wooo Hooo and I will be in attendance!!!!... Hey are you folks meeting at the I-5 rest area this year? If so, What time?? Really lookin forward to seeing everybody! Ya you to Dave!

In past years we've met by 9:30 or so, and then headed to Canby at 9:45. I'd like to get there a little earlier this year, so wasn't necessarily thinking about meeting at the rest area. But still could, depending on the time.
