4th annual Central California Z-Fest, May 10th
MSA was fun. How many people go to Z-Fest, though? Sounds like fun. Does anyone know how many cars usually register?

Road Noise...
What kind of noise are talking about? Where do you think it's coming from?

DeMoore's 1978 280z at MSA WCN
My 1978 T-Top with freshly mounted Shelby Slotted Mags (thanks to Synthtk from HybridZ). I'll get a chance to polish them up later.

Went old school...
A 79 would be a ZX. Do you have any pictures?

Yeah it great meeting you, too. I'm hoping to start seeing a lot of the same people next year and maybe even at other events, too.

2008 MSA West Coast Nationals - Great Show
Yeah, it was great, we got stuck in that line for a while, but even that was great, we met a bunch of Z lovers and took some great pictures. I even got a busines card from Fred Jordan, the first Datsun dealer in the U.S. He had a 1980 with Mr K's autograph on the glove box. He said they had been friends for 40 years! It was great meeting all those Z owners and a few people from this club. It was great.

I'm selling my Delorean!!!
I found this on the delorean motor car website regarding future plans for the dolorean. It would be interesting to see what actually happens, though. QUOTE: "DMC Houston has hit the news, and the DMC Newslist, with reports that they are producing "new" DeLoreans. The news report (AP) that I read said that they would use a new stainless frame, lighter fiberglass, and the Stage 2 (or 3!) engine and the warehouse of NOS parts to produce a "new" DeLorean. The $57,500 base price tag is a bit more than their old base price ($42,500) for a "restored" DeLorean. Some of that difference is the stainless frame. DMCH "restored" DeLoreans do not appear to be available anymore! The Final Chapter The Discovery channel aired a show this afternoon on Delorean's history. At the conclusion of the show, the commentator mentioned that John Delorean was currently designing a new, plastic car. If I heard correctly, base price would be in the 20K range. Have you heard anything about this? With the passing of John DeLorean (2005), I think that the final chapter of that "new" DeLorean has been closed. The DeLorean Motor Club of Canada has some news releases from the mid-1980's about John's plans to build another car, but nothing recent. The last update on that page is 1997. For some time, deloreantime.com had an order form for a DMC2 watch and a series of videos from an interview with John DeLorean himself. According to these videos, the car's concept was to have an outstanding power-to-weight ratio due to it's very light weight composite structure, and to sell at a target price of about $30,000. The site also had more information (and pictures) of the watch. The deloreantime.com site is now (8/07) history. At one time there was also a listing for DeLoreanLLC.com registered to John DeLorean with the same Nanuet, NY address as deloreantime.com! DeLoreanLLC.com has disappeared." deloreanmotorcar.com END QUOTE

Windhield Seals OE vs. Repro
Beandip, sent you a PM. I'm having a little trouble finding the site to price the Precision complete kits.

Windhield Seals OE vs. Repro
Anyone? I'm looking at this set: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=025&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=380013348589&rd=1 The two issues are quality and fitment. Should a set that fits a 70 fit a 78? Are the windows indentical? Any advice on buying a generic set? This one in particular? Should I just buy the JCM universal strip?

Picked up a 75 Today.
SCORE! If you feel bad, get her running, then the wind in your face will dry your tears Actually, I kind of feel bad, too. But if the engine was shot, it's better that someone who will take care of her now has her.

Windhield Seals OE vs. Repro
What about those complete weatherstrip sets that they have on Ebay? Anyone have any experience with those? After seeing the different JCM seals in the last post, that looks like a good inexpensive choice. I'm looking to switch out all my seals pretty soon, especially after doing a "leak search" on my 78 last Saturday. How do those JCM seals fit?

Any advice on Z's?
I agree with Stephen, any of the 70-78 Z's are considered the classics; just the way it looks makes me want to keep spend money on it's restoration. I did own an '86 once, and it was great for tearing around in, but it needed lot's of $$$ and I couldn't see myself spending a whole lot on it. I get out if my 78 after a drive and I'll stand there for a few minutes just looking at it. Most people on this site have 1st generation Zs, hence the name of the site, but any Z is welcome around here. Good luck with your choice, keep us posted!
