Hey, what kind of 4 post lift are you using. Starting to do my research and looking at the bendpak HD9 or a Eagle.

Greg Smith Equipment seems pretty reputable to me. https://www.gregsmithequipment.com/

I have owned this scissor lift for a few years now. https://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-TD6MR-Portable-Scissor-Lift

I love my Bendpak......

Had a noise in my ZX tranny in the 73, so I decided to install the one that Eiji rebuilt for me. I’m also taking out the Exedy Stage I performance clutch (too strong for my use) and installing an Exedy stock 240 mm clutch. If anyone wants the clutch and disc (240 mm) for $200.00 plus shipping, it’s theirs (I paid $475.00 and only has 1500 easy miles). Wow, a transmission jack makes it so much easier.....of course the lift does too ?

Hmmm.... What could shipping be to Sweden, Im in need of a better clutch.

Took the Z out for its first run this year, haven’t done anything to the car this winter except swapping the battery. Car runs great but still have a small oil leak, need to take care of that soon. 

Still amazed how small these cars look besides a normal sized modern car : )

I drove the Z to Road Atlanta today to watch testing for the Mitty.

wish I could make it this year but can't make it happen

First car show of the year for me.  55 degrees sunny and windy but a nice day with over 400 cars on the main street of the little town of Irwin just east of Pittsburgh.

I was the only Z car of the bunch.  I usually am, not many of the early Z around the Pittsburgh area.  I did talk to a couple of gents that owned Z's but did not bring them,  they both said there cars were not worthy to show at the time.

 

Similarly, made it to a local show yesterday - about 125 entries.  Four members of our club attended, I managed to snag a Best in Class award in the Post-War Import class.  Voting was a People's Choice process by the entrants, a nice recognition for my car from peers.  Quite a few rare and unique cars entered in addition to domestic restorations and rods.  Check out the FB link below for pics of some very interesting cars.

Thanks. We had the S30 series totally covered with my 240Z, the green 260Z, and blue 280Z.  The 280ZX 2+2 GL is true survivor: one owner, 485k miles on the odo with the engine NEVER having to be opened up.  Most of the miles are highway as a saleman's car, religious about oil changes and valve adjustments.

siteunseen, that photo you are talking about was taken at least 6 years ago.  It was in the center of what is PPG office buildings,  it was a car show on a Wednesday that is held in conjunction with the Pittsburgh grand prix that is held here every July. They have different location's throught the city to park cars.  It's a great time to show off cars at different areas in the city and to people that would not normally go to car show.
