ride comfort is not and issue. The corolla has 10k front springs and 8k rears, and that is my daily driver. i do want to go to tripple side drafts, but that will some time with more money, the down drafts do just fine for now... i want 200 RWHP though, at or around there, go NA on the side drafts, cams, headwork ect. Maybe high comp it... And suspension i do want it a bit more tough, its a bit on the soft side, still not bad, but not great.... Thanks for the input

for radiatior i have a sponsor with my other car, so maybe i could get one fro cheap. for suspension im trying to get ahold of coil overs.. maybe some traction bars and sub frame connectors

well if by what he is saying, if he was able to put the chisel through it the cancer already got a good peice. in most casses its best to take a small bit of good steel around any rust and just replace it with a new peice to be sure it doesnt come back

take a look at what i got... and ill be getting a new intake and stock hood in trade for my heater core. i think its a good deal

thanks for the comments.. ive already got the battery tied down. i did that right after i took those pics.. yeah i want a stock hood, this one doesnt fit well and shakes at speed. and its a l28 engine remember how i said ive got some parts for it to put on? And those are just the major stuff, ive still got more.. Ill post pics up as progress goes.. Thanks again for the warm welcome

Ill start off with a thank you for letting me join this great forum.. now i muyst introduce myself. My name is Mike, im 20 from fresno california and ive been tuning cars/trucks since i was 15.... ive got a huge background from a 49 stude pickup, 67 caddy, to my 99 honda. My current cars though are my 86 corolla gts coupe lightly modified, sharp suspension. Just a daily driver.. My 92 SHO. currently being turned race car.. and the 73 Z i recently bought... I know the past few owners...They all have tired to get it to run right end all gave up on it cuz the carbs are a bit difficult to tune. So ive taken it on as a challenge for myself and my friends to see how good we can make this thing... So far its got the L28 from a 78 280zx on dual weber carbs and some mean 4 piston caliper brakes up front, with everything else stock.. In the past few days i got it from stalling stuttering junk to 100mph flame throwing screamer ( maybe the carbs need a bit mroe tuning....) This weekend though, im going to be putting on about 2k worth of parts, so hopefully it will run, ride, and drive like new when im done... here are the pics as of today... Shoe lace battery tie down FTL Now as you can see most of it was pretty ratty and not too pretty and poorly done But im going to fix all that and get this thing in tip top shape.. Wish me luck :glenn:

alright... ill start brushing right now... i did try to feel for them but no luck.. i am going to visit a junk yard this weekend for some tail lights, crank pulley and a e fan hopefully.

ive got a l28 in my 73 and i dont want the egr pipe on it, does anyone make either an intake that will remove it or plates to block the open holes?? Thanks

Ive got a problem... My L28 in my 240z is way off on timing.. The marks on the crank pulley have faded and i dont have the slightest idea on where it could be.. Now if im right, you can set it to TDC on #1 and mark it at 0 right?? Thanks for any info

I did a bit of searching, and couldnt find much for what i was looking for... First i have a 74 240z with a l28 and dual down draft carbs. I was told they are webbers but havent seen any brand name on them yet... jsut got the car today... 1st- timing, it sounds off, off idle to about 3K rpm it is hesitant, but after that it starts to missfire and sputter.... what is a good timing setting if i was going for 91 octane fuel... I saw a timing setting of 35 degrees at 3k rpm that ok? 2nd. brakes ive driven a few older cars and they too suffered from this... i go to hit the brakes, pedal heads for the floor so i have to pump it to get the pedal back... how to fix that? 3rd. easy. what is the lug pattern? is it 4x114.3?? Thanks for any info... -Mikey
