  1. Get rid of that glass filter before your car resembles a SD-40 losing it's turbo.

    Ed-someone is yanking your chain.There is only one type of powder and it melts at 400 degrees. Ceramic is the best but $$$.Header wrap is the worst.

    Show me someone who believes acetone works and i'll show you someone who thinks the way to stop a person from choking on ice is to pour a cup of boiling water down their throat.

    same here.
  6. 198kms on MAIN STREET?Now that is some kinda stupid.In fact,stupid would be a step up.And this illustrates my point perfectly:Someone this stupid is not going to get "edu-ma-cated"by having their car crushed.
  7. Cool...............
  8. No worries..But your post was a little .....unclear,shall we say?
  9. Oh,great we have Johnny Cochran Jr. here.Get ready to fail the bar exam.ROFLBecause you don't have a clue.For starters look up"intent" as related to homicide. When codified law invalidates your opinion,you forfeit the "perceived right" to it.And just so we're clear on this,laws in ALL fifty states say otherwise when it comes to your "murder" comment.:stupid::stupid::stupid::stupid:
  10. Jimmy,Jimmy,Jimmy-what am i gonna do with you?That "smog" you saw is dust/dirt.Az is one big sand box. The stench i was referring to was the liberals-not the smog.
  11. Jimmy-i grew up in CT.(Down the road a piece from Bob Sharp back in the good ol days:knockedou)Then i lived in Redondo Beach from '86 to 2000.So i know what the deal is. What bums me out is people who just roll over an stick their asses in the air and tell the government:It's o.k.-come "do me".And the really sad part is they think nothing is wrong.:eek: And you're right,Arizona's a bitchin' place.But when the wind blows hard from the west,you can smell the stench of the peoples republik of Kalifornia:mad:
  12. Fun in my Z-please come back and join the conversation when you know how the laws/constitution work.You observation is more at home in Germany circa 1936 or China today. Jimm-New Jersey also has no self-serve stations.
  13. Winger-just how in the hell can you construe outrage at total bull$hit by the cops to us having no sympathy for a theft victim?The cops are tossing in this weak theft arguement to bolster their lame arse response to the street racing.In laymans terms: they're using the theft arguement in an attempt to negate the un-constitutionality of the crushing.:tapemouth And how about the cops having sympathy for the "theft victim",after all,they(the cops) crushed their property instead of giving it back to them:stupid:

    Actually the liberal residents of "Soviet Monica"are playing mind tricks on you,so you'll move out of your rent controlled apartment.
  15. When police popped open the hood, Hoang said, they found a stolen transmission. Hoang flashed a receipt for the transmission he bought from his father who runs an auto shop and doubted the item was hot. The kid had a receipt but still lost his car ______________________________________________________________ "Everything on that car was practically brand new," Hoang said as he watched his car get moved to auto death row. "They should take out the stuff that matters, auction it off, and give the money to charity." The kid was right _________________________________________________________________ Most of the cars police examine are illegally modified. Sergio Zavala, 18, was pulled over in his 1993 yellow Honda Civic for a broken tail light in December. He had purchased a B-20 Vtech engine with a double-overhead cam a couple months before, and after a police investigation, was told it was stolen. For this to be a crime the cops MUST PROVE the kid knew BEFORE-HAND that the motor was stolen. _____________________________________________________________ Too many holes in this,too many over-reactions,too much blatant bull$hit disguised as keeping the public safe. Notice no-one mentions track closures as a contributing cause.
  16. First off,sorry for the double post. Second:"Lose a family member or a friend to the immature idiots who drive recklessly, then see if you feel sorry for "the poor blokes who had their car crushed". I'll STILL be of the same opinion.This is another thing that's wrong with this country,people think that because "something" has happened to them/their family that somehow changes what the penalty should be.If my opinion changes because an incident happened to a friend/relative vs a stranger,then I AM the problem.:stupid: Case in point:My mother,father & uncle died as a result of smoking.But my opinion about the tobacco companies is not what you'd expect.Tobacco is a LEGAL product(as of now).What they(the gov't)is doing with taxes/restrictions on smoking is harrassment & extortion.Either outlaw tobacco altogether or leave it alone.What's being done to the tobacco companies in the guise of "public health" is un-constitutional.:mad: Saying cars should be crushed is just as stupid as trying to confiscate all the guns because some gang-banging piece of $hit does a drive-by.:stupid: What are you going to do when someone is beaten to death with a baseball bat-go down to the little league field and take all their bats away? This is nothing but grand -standing political bull$hit. You say"break the law and pay the penalty.Fine.The laws are on the books as are the penalties.Guess what?Crushing cars ISN'T in the book.Yuo can't "pull penalties out of thin air"They are making this up as they go along.Sorta like Germany circa 1936.:mad:

  18. Last year over 170,000 people died as a result of alcohol related accidents. Under 200 people died as a result of street racing activities. So what do they do?............................ The dumb ones are the ones who think it's O.K to crush the cars.:disappoin

  20. The ignorance and total lack of understanding of how things work is mind blowing in this topic.READ THE ARTICLE AGAIN.One guy produced reciepts for the alledged stolen parts and his car was still crushed.People think it's funny because "it's the ricer crowd".How funny is it going to be when YOUR Z gets crushed because you put a header & wheels on it?The way laws are written, a 69 Camaro could be seized because the owner put air shocks & a set of Cragars on it.If you think this is O.K you're a f**king moron.And to say the "Z" isn't Japanese like the others is possibly the dumbest thing i've read this year.EVERY Japanese car imported to or made in this country owes a debt to the "Z". Here's another ditty for you: Attorney general says he can seize street-racing cars without laying charges Michael Oliveira, Canadian Press Published: Thursday, June 21, 2007 Article tools TORONTO (CP) - The government has the power to seize and destroy cars that have been adapted for street racing, and can do so before a race takes place or any charges are laid, Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant said Wednesday. Car junkies who pour thousands of dollars into their vehicles to make them as fast as possible are wasting their money, Bryant said. He warned potential racers that all it takes is a tip from police to seize and destroy their cars. "If we can establish someone has parts and they're juicing up their car - obviously for the purpose of street racing - then we can seize those vehicles," Bryant said. "We will seize it and you will never see it again. We will crush your car, we will crush the parts." Bryant said cars built for street racing are as dangerous as explosives and can cause catastrophic damage. On Monday, a truck driver was killed after a crash on Highway 400 that was blamed on speed and dangerous driving. Prabhjit Multani, 20, and Nauman Nusrat, 19, face charges including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing death by street racing. Ravi Badhwar, 20, has been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. "This was a senseless act that cost a man his life and has left his family without a father, brother and grandfather," Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino said in a release. "There is no excuse for street racing and aggressive driving, such as the high speeds and unsafe lane changes we have seen recently." The crash was the third major accident in four days on the busy north-south highway, and the second fatal one. Bryant said the government has had enough of street racers, and will have no qualms about destroying their cars. "We don't need to wait until that car hits the road fully loaded," he said. Bryant also said the Crown has not yet decided whether to appeal the sentences of two young Toronto men who pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death after a taxi driver was killed in a crash. Wang-Piao Dumani Ross and Alexander Ryazanov, both 20, were each handed two-year conditional sentences and two years of probation for their role in the January 2006 crash. Their lawyers said they weren't racing, although their speeding did constitute dangerous driving. © The Canadian Press 2007
  21. Your power band is nosing over past 6,000rpm.Absolutely pointless to take it higher unless you like re-arranging the rods.
  22. Z train replied to Blue Meanie's post in a topic in Carburetor Central
    Any electric fuel pump should have a reg & return line.ANY fuel pump from a FI car will have wayyyyyyyyy too much pressure.And if you're going to electric,there is no need for the manual pump.Not only there is no need,should the diaphram rupture in the manual pump,the electric will fill your crankcase with fuel. Holley would not be my choice for a pump.In fact it would be somewhere around the bottom of the list.

    My GF(at the time) had a 79 Vette and my stock 78 Z would walk it easy.Pissed her off to no end.
  24. Z train replied to mars23z's post in a topic in Engine & Drivetrain
    Was that directed at me?
  25. Z train replied to mars23z's post in a topic in Engine & Drivetrain
    There was nothing wrong with the 260 motor that a carb swap couldn't fix.The 260Z problems came from the carbs & car it self-not the engine.
