I should read deeper into the thread but that's a beautiful picture.

July 14, 2024Jul 14 comment_667407 Actually, I don't believe that you must have your hood off for it to be considered hooning, but it doesn't hurt! I think part of the definition of hooning requires an entertaining amount of mostly safe, but moderate risk and recklessness. That recklessness is most often achieved through the application of velocity. But you can also achieve some recklessness in other forms instead, such as missing major parts (like a hood). If you don't have a hood, you don't have to drive as fast in order for it to be considered hooning. I also think that driving a car that has only a handbrake would be considered hooning, even if you followed all speed restrictions.

July 15, 2024Jul 15 comment_667449 So, hooning is similar to "Hold my beer"? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68751-2024-what-did-you-do-towith-your-z-today/?&page=6#findComment-667449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 24, 2024Nov 24 comment_671731 Installed a set of Retrobelts and a subwoofer. Also cleaned up a lot of wiring - wrapped everything I could get to in wire loom, and replaced a flimsy fuse block with a nice little Blue Sea.

December 23, 2024Dec 23 Popular Post comment_672498 I'm getting ready to install a new radiator in my 260Z. I went with a Mishimoto radiator. For prep work, I installed rivnuts on the radiator to make it easier to bolt in. They feel very secure on the mounting tabs, and it beats trying to thread a nut onto a bolt run through the radiator support. I think my supervisor approved of my work, too.

December 24, 2024Dec 24 comment_672500 I had to clearance the holes on the radiator support bracket from 10mm to 13mm, but the radiator is in.
