    Sounds like a vapor lock issue, but, this thing is probably EFI. Did you check your fuel filters? Also make sure you have good electrical. Does this truck have a single coil? The vacuum tube idea is a good one. The key here is that it gets worse when the engine gets warm.

    OH MY GOD... a TRUCK question in a Z forum. We're all gonna burn in hell!!! I don't see the harm in a simple thread from a fellow member about his truck. It's not that big of a deal. Although it is a Z forum, this place is a community for people to get together to discuss various things. Considering this was started from a fellow member who is active in the Z community, it is totally appropriate. Fun_in_my_z, thanks for posting your concerns, but, this post is fine with me. We are a family of Z owners and I don't mind this kind of thing. -- Mike PS: If this was a thread started by someone who did not own a Z and not part of our membership, this might be another story.
  4. I did it the hard way. I sandblasted everything from underneath, primed it, and then used the rattle-can undercoating.
  5. Guys, let's keep this on topic. I had to go through and remove some flame posts. This thread should remain a discussion about lenses, thanks.
  6. Actually, I've had more problems with the older members here. Please remember this is my site and I've put a lot of hard work into this place to make it a site for people to exchange information. I didn't create this place so people could come in and put it down. Please continue to exchange your ideas about these lenses because I'm curious to find out exactly what's happening with them. Why doesn't someone do a review on these? Perhaps Troy will send me a pair and I'll get another pair from the competitor. We have a very nice review section and it already has a few products posted by members. Perhaps we should set up something like this to clear up the misconceptions? Anyway, these are just some ideas. Thanks.

    I haven't seen one. Unless someone wants to rip it from a recording? Perhaps the file exists on the Internet somewhere.

    Umm... guys, I don't think he was talking about leaving due to any of the disfunction of some of our members. He was talking about leaving due to the season and that he won't be using his car until spring. Unless I read it wrong... ? Please don't die on us DZR!!

    Cool.. I'd like to get a video of that segment and put it in our gallery.

    Oh yea, that's the name... the other show is on Animal Planet... my OTHER channel. Or, I wonder if it's Real TV? I can't find "Max Ex" on the Spike TV website.

    Anyone watch the TV show called "Max EX?" It's on SPIKE TV a lot. Anyway, I saw a shot of a rally Zcar that lost control coming around a corner and took out one of the photographers. It was quite frightening, but, the photographer lived to tell about it. You should have seen the video of this Z coming at the guy full speed!!! It was amazing. -- Mike

  14. I don't believe you can get these anymore. Try to visit our sponsor, Motorsport Auto. http://www.zcarparts.com They might be able to source them for you..

    Nice!!! Hey, I am in the Albany/Corvallis area. Any get-togethers planned?

    I would complain if I lived in a neighborhood with a car in the front lawn with grass growing around it. Call me selfish, but, my home is an investment and I want that value to grow. I have had my fair-share of cars in the driveway, but, they usually aren't there longer than a week or two. If I do keep a junker, it's hidden along the side and out-of-sight from the front. Our neighborhood has CC&R's to cover this kind of thing. These are ordinances to control things like this. It also covers things like house paint color, commercial businesses, storage materials, etc. It's all pretty normal stuff.
  17. It is a Z. Don't let anyone tell you it is not a fun car to drive. A lot of people are hardcore Z-only lovers and will tell you that it is not a real Z. Some of them even hate the new Z and just don't think anything else but an early car is the way to go. However, I believe that even a ZX is a fun car to drive. The X actually stands for "luxury" and there are several videos in our gallery that depict quite a marketing venture toward that fact. When compared to an early Z (240, 260, 280), a ZX is a different flavor of a Z. In fact, there will soon be a time when the ZX becomes a classic in itself. -- Mike
  18. You know what might look even better? Instead of an amber lens, how about a clear lens with an amber bulb? Not sure how this would look on a classic though.... Has anyone looked into this?
  19. I don't have any proof of this, but, most of the experience I have with parts suggest that both of these vendors are most-likely getting these from the same supplier. Again, I don't have any proof that this is the case for these lenses. But, I wouldn't doubt it. Anyway, back to the basics of LWW's intent. We have a chance to get lenses for $200 a set. There is obviously a requirement to change some electrical to make it look perfect, but, it doesn't mean this opportunity is not valid. I am putting in a deposit.... -- Mike
  20. You guys are too much.... Please get this thread back on topic and discuss this seriously. I can't be called in for every disagreement. This is actually a good discussion and it shouldn't get personal... M
  21. What do you guys think this car will sell for ? Or, where do you suppose the reserve is at? It is a nice car and, if the price is right, would make a great car for someone.
  22. Victor is the one who approves photos. He might be doing things with his family due to Thanksgiving. I'll see if I can get in there and take a look...
