More fine print:

Ooh! They have a description like, "better flame propogation".... I'm sold! These things have been proven to do nothing for your car. But, it's a fun gimmick. I can't believe they put the words supercharger and turbocharger as a comparison! Oh well.... Probably a hell of a lot cheaper.

Agreed!! Do share your cars with us !!

Do you happen to have the original URL to this? I think your URL has ..... in the middle causing it to be wrong. If you paste the entire thing the system should automatically fix the URL. -- MIke

I know it's not Sotch (per se), but, you could get him a good bottle of whiskey called Makers Mark.

Yea, that is wierd.... I just saw that error too. I'll have to see what I can do to debug it... -- Mike

If you are replacing the springs, I highly suggest that you replace the strut catridges. Buy the cartridges that are designed to go with the springs you already have.

Stony, it's at $5,100 and it has not met the reserve. What is your reserve on this engine?

Holy crap!! That is heavy stuff. There are three types of noise supression in automobile applications. They are listed as Acoustic Loss Factor, Absorption Coefficients, and Transmission Loss. I don't know what the test-ratings of your (1lb) product might be, but, you can check out a good comparison of a few products here: http://www.b-quiet.com/compare.html The B-quiet stuff looks to be about .33 - .35 pounds. You don't get into the full 1-pound until you add the thick products which are applied to the hood, firewall, and other barriers. I wanted to cover my metal surfaces with the lower-weight product. And, the other heavier products will be applied to my firewall and probably the underside of the hood.

Hi Guys, Thanks for asking me into the thread Gary. Well, as it ends up... I think I purchased around 3 rolls of 10sf. The smarter way to go about doing this is to buy a SINGLE 50sf roll. It's cheaper in the long run if you want to do all parts of your car. The Brownbread stuff is a lot less expensive than Dynamat and I think it installs easier too. You can see my gallery photos of this project by clicking on the following link: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3067 I believe a 50sf roll will do the entire car.

Yea, the zcar of the month sorta died. It's really hard for me to keep all of this up myself, so, I rely on volunteer time to get it back going again. Most of the volunteers from the last round just quit on me. One of the volunteers had to go off and fake his own death just to get out of it. haha... Anyway, we are in need of people to keep this going. Anyone want to do it? -- Mike

Mine is a difficult one. A long time ago... in a galaxy far, far away.... There was this couple who decided to give me a name after their best friend.... And, so the legend continues............. :bandit:

I doubt the MSA fusebox was an extreme investment. It is a simple circuitboard. We design these kinds of things at work all day long and it's a very simple process. Simply need someone with the knowledge to design the board, a program to create the schematic, and a company to create the prototype/final boards. Soldering the components is also easy with the right tools. But, if we always looked at all the variables and never started with a "Version 1" then nothing would get done. I say we should start with a bone-stock harness. Build it and they will come. No way... I think we should let someone without skills and no passion to get it done. Ship it to India!!! Heh, just kidding. Anyway, this is a good idea and I hope it comes around someday.

Hi all, I'm in Tulsa, OK on business (this week) and wondering if any fellow Z fans would like to get together. -- Mike

Testing reply functionality.

Umm ... dude, it's YOUR car. Report her to the cops and the insurance company. Don't play their games. -- Mike

Yea, I need to get more involved with that club.... need to go on a nice road trip in the Z...

Guys, like with any kind of contract... get it in writing before you make the deal. I would never pay for something without a written estimate of the cost. If the details aren't disclosed up front, don't proceed with the deal. If you do it anyway (or make a mistake by forgetting this tidbit of information) then it's your fault. FYI on the shipping costs... UPS/Fedex seem to be everly increasing their costs. UPS gave me a cost of $8.00 to ship one of our hats from Oregon to Texas!! Talk about a high price margin! Ugh. The good-ol' postal service charges us $5.00 for the exact same item. So, keep in mind that shipping isn't as cheap as it was 5-10 years ago. -- Mike
