I think I would put SUV drivers in with the Volvo drivers. they are probably thinking that 4,000 lbs of steel in the SUV will protect them from any dummy driver in a small car, so they just go ahead and keep their foot in it. Maybe even the altitude of the driver's seat in an SUV gives them a better view of the road, so that makes them better or safer drivers. Another thing- what is it that makes people in 4x4s think they can go faster than smaller cars? Just about every truck I see is out there going faster than traffic. It's like they have a big V-8 engine under the hood, so it permits them to break any speed limit. Don't they know that most newer cars have the same power-to-weight ratio as they have, plus better brakes & handling? thx

Any girl in a hurry to get to the mall because there's a sale. That and the same girls cut you off on the freeway because they don't want to miss the exit for the mall.

the JTR book has some good reasons for switching to steel (cast iron, actually) because they hold up better to heat. Aluminum drums would get soft and deform when they get hot, and you'll get brake fade. i'll go look it up & quote it if you want.

'Spook' refers to a style of spoiler, as does 'chin.'

Some people go most of their lives without using their head. Close enough?

For such useless info, it's sure getting a lot of attention/views.

I wanted top go down for that weekend ( I go in Feb & Aug/Sept) so I can see my sweetie in N. Tampa, but schedules don't mesh well, she just got a new job, etc., so I can't go down. But I am planning on driving my Z down late this year or next spring to show off. Might be bringing a 'diamond ring' with me.

Ok, so IF you wanted to install wiring "properly," meaning that you'd have the circuit(s) go through the factory connectors, has anybody got a good idea on how or where to route the wire(s) and where to mount the switch? Maybe even a correct switch to use?

I've checked over different electrical wiring diagrams for my car several times, and there certainly is NO wiring on there for for lamps. Can you explain what you were referring to? thx

I'm servicing my AFM, and the plastic cover on the side is held on with gobs of RTV silicone and a giant ziptie. What is the original way the cover is attached? thx

It is a recommended way of removing the spring & strut from the car without the compressor, according to the Haynes manual. Personally, I would just take it to my mates service place. it would only take him an hour or so for the four corners.

It is possible to do the springs without a compressor, but you'll need some friends to sit on your car to cpompress the springs while you undo the nuts.

I think my light fixtures were all made of white plastic, so I just cleaned them with a good soap. I contemplated putting in some Aluminum foil tape across the back for a reflector, but then I thought the lights were about as good as they can be, and it would be better to clean up the electrical connectors to increase the voltage at the bulbs instead. fwiw

Do you expect the glasspack to wear out? How would you service it? thx

You can also take the light apart to clean the inside and the lens. I did that and it helped some more light get out. In fact, I've removed all the plastic lenses on the car light and cleaned them all- it helped.

When I was college, we raced bicycles. From all the magazines we read, some of us thought that in Italy, there was a bike shop on every corner!

Another "F" word to avoid! Really... on Hybridz.com, you read of reports that the "Enzo" people will complain greatly ( as in lawyers/law suits) because EBAY had a replica for sale on there with the Enzo decals or even just a yellow patch the shape of a shield! Even using the "F" word on your Ebay car auction gets you some warnings.

My mom told me to be careful of fast cars & women. Or was fast women in cars?

I don't use a clutch. You don't seem to know what I was talking about, either.

I think I know why my windscreen was always foggy... The door seals are not good between the door and the quarter window, so you get a LOT of air coming in there, like evening air, morning air, some rain, etc., so I think I should buy new door weatherstrips to close the gap? I'll have to get two sets, one for now and one for after it gets painted. Or maybe I can just Goop in a temporary rubber? The only other place for moist air to get in is the fresh air intake for the heater., Can you close that off when you don't use the heater? thx

Can you give details about what you put into your exhaust (drawing)? Do you think it would sound similar for other people?

Bill- You spelled it wrong... Stoopid is correctly sprlled with two ZEROs..

Carb OIL??? I thought somebody was going to say he's pulling as fast-one on you, like, "You only put GAS in the carb!!" You know- like muffler bearings... I would assume you only need oil ON the carb to lube the bearing pins. What's the oil resevoir for? You can still check the usual stuff like points, rotor, plugs, timing & mixture, any of which would make it run funny. You know- tune-up. thx

Which books? Do you have the Wick Humble book? thx

there's room for a BBQ in there. Oops... CAR-BQ. Or a spot to store your Fosters? FYI, there's been 1 or 2 blokes over on Hybridz that did rotary power in a Z. Good on yer...
