    HI all, I am an all time Z fan and started posting on this forum with a modem and a 512k connection So please do not think I am here to abuse of this forum for personal advertising. I have been busy on this concept for 2 years now, and this is the 1.0 version or MK2 for us car lovers! It is so simple that it had to be invented! BeeMyGuest vous propose des vacances et weekend pas chers autour de votre passion This is really an opportunity to share our love of cars, bikes, planes, football, baseball, whatever... It's not a motel's cheap alternative nor a low-cost option for your next vacation. It's to start a real network of reliables crash spots for enthusiasts. You don't have to go over to Europe to enjoy it! You can use it for X-America trips. Let say you want to go to the Indy 500, wouldn't it be better to go with a real Indyan, and let him share it's love of his city and show you around Indianapolis like you never could do on your own? The sole commitment would be to invite him back to say sunny California where you're from and go together to Laguna Seca for a vintage race!!!! Please help me building this network, it will be profitable for all of us, gearheads! Or at leas share your comments with me to refine even more my site! And above all share the link... the more we are, the pore nice places we will have to enjoy! Boomer

    Hi Adam... are you a French cousin or Her Majesty's one www.Mobile.de www.autoscout24.de I have a spare auto box for free if you ever need it. If you get too bored up there... go south for the summer, sun is over here for sure!
  6. 1/7 cognac... 6/7 schwepps that's my beer
  7. May I step in here? I am using a SU TBI system with my car. And Have an F54/p90 (-2mm) header, etc. My needle is always on the 2/3 of the gauge. For my FI system I had t install few sensors. I can monitor them with my laptop... Big difference between my gauge and my screen. I trust my laptop and I will change my gauge, one day Check your gauge

    How do you read that? "the timing for that cam is 104 deg full lift inlet valve" Is that 104° before TDC? Thanks
  9. I bought it from RS-START in Japan and had it shipped to me by a friend over there. The expensive part was the shipping. Can't remember how much it was 18 month ago
  10. I hope it's not too late, you may have other options than the Spook It's a JDM spoiler from RS-Start

    In Belgium, the Miroux have raced at the 24H of Spa with a 2+2 in the 70' Not worse thant a Capri
  12. I will follow Alan's advice... I just hope those tyres are with us for a long time... I will post picts ASAP and will let you know how they handle, first Hillclimb in May
  13. That would be easier for sure! I want to keep the Wata... and I drive to car the track
  14. Still don't know if 185/70r14 with race compound (small width but stiff and right size sidewall) is better than a Toyo 888 in 225/50r14 (larger width but too short sidewall)...
  15. He recommend AVON CR6ZZ in 185/70R-14
  16. Thanks for the input. Bit I dad some for 2 month... sold them to a budy... for his truck! I was not impressed at all, the Yoko AVS where so good The Kenda are a lot better than the AVID and far less than the old AVS
  17. Until now I used road tyres only to set-up the basics of the car. Today, I am in the final stage of tuning my engine. I think I still have 30 hp to gain in the head/FI/timing set-up but it will not make over 200 WHP From this point good tyres will be a major component. I will fine tune the chassis around it! I want a tyre that will sell for a long time... and coherent with our European driving habits... You've been to France, you know our back roads The big improvement with the 225x60 for me was in braking. But if the compound is better (more grip) it may (will) compensate for the smaller width? Idem for traction? As a bonus less tracking on bumpy roads
  18. What do the 240Z use for HSCC? Those AVON are not expensive, they're outrageous. Do they have the same shortage of ti(y)res in Japan?
  19. Hello Alan, have you tested them? The compound must be good, but how about the flex of the sidewalls? The car is lowered with LEDAs so the sidewalls take a lot!
  20. I am looking for 225x60r14 tires... nowhere to find them ! I have 7.5 Watanabe wheels that I WANT to keep. Today I have Kenda 205x65r14 not bad at all, yet the car was way better on the previous Yoko. The only choice left is 225x50r14 - I am sure it will work but won't it look silly?
  21. Speaking of snow... did you all know that a 240Z won the 2009 historical Monte-Carlo At last a Z won!
  22. Thanks guys I keep an eye anyway. Is the winter over in WA?
  23. Hell... that's what missing! Yes, Olympia WA, one of those dry states Nice place if I my memories don't trick me
  24. Just out of curiosity, is it that nobody live in Olympia or nobody wants to take care of this matter :classic:
  25. One of my friend bought a rear diff from e-bay in this area. Could someone collect it, pack it and send it to France for him. All expenses paid first of course!
