Some interesting information I came across about this subject. Interesting reads none the less. http://news.outdoortechnology.com/2015/03/24/winter-driving-what-are-they-putting-on-our-roads/ chemmatters-feb2006-salting-roads.pdf

Yep, here on the west they also use sand. They've been talking about spray chemicals but the environmentalists are all over their asses about it. I agree that salt makes the ice older, but it does melt. The thing I don't understand is why they continue using something that literally acts like acid on everything it touches. Have you ever seen how salt eats away at concrete ? We use it on sidewalks here and I can literally see pits and cracks caused by the stuff. I wonder if there has ever been a class action lawsuit against the highway dept from car owners. It's horrible on cars.

And, this is what causes your floor pans to rust.

Here's a video tour of this car:

Ha! Yea doing a build like this isn't likely to bring in a profit. The only real way to bring in a profit is to restore a car to exact stock specifications.
-
I realize this is an old thread. But, it looks like high bid ended at 43k. Anyone know if this was the winning bid? If you've ever done a full restoration, you'll agree that 30k isn't hard to accomplish. When other people do the work, there are a lot of labor costs involved. Considering all the specialty items on this car, 43k might be realistic.

Ok sounds good! I'd encourage you to look at where the tubes are going when you get home. May need to pull out the LED flashlight and do some searching.. Can't wait to see the pics.
-
Is it connected to the radiator? Looks like an engine coolant overflow tank. BTW, post some pics of your car in the gallery. I'd like to see this new turbo Z of yours...

A camera pic I took a few years ago when I was driving my yellow '71 and parked it next to a 370z. Yellow looks good! -
Various Awesome Zcars I've found..

Aha! He went to Antartica ? Maybe there's less technology down there and he's sitting on a beach enjoying a martini.. Of course with a big jacket because I heard it's cold in Antartica..

Nice car. Wish I had a bigger garage.

Instead of F'ing the Internet, how about this instead? F'ing the internet just sounds a bit dull and won't keep you in shape. She looks a little more fun, and you'll get the exercise you need.
-
I found this interesting mod so you can add front speakers without cutting your door panels. Looks like it would work pretty well without modifying the interior of the Z too much. Has anyone tried these yet? http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/Classic01a/50-1293

Blue, you deserve to take a break man... but we will certainly miss you here. You have some great experience with the Z and we enjoy everything that you do on this site. Speaking of that, I am not sure why I haven't done this already, but, since you've been helping out so much I am going to add you to the supporting member group. By doing this, ads should disappear (except maybe the banner on the left). Supporting members won't be shown ads. There are two ways to support the site, one by helping us pay the bills, or second by putting in time to help out. You've certainly helped out a tremendous amount around here. Hope this helps offset some of your frustrations with "the internet" .. FYI, whenever I get to the same point where you are at with technology, I like to disconnect and go sit on a beach somewhere with a drink of choice. m PS: Thanks for recognizing this site hasn't "sold out" as so many others have over the years. I would totally remove ads from the site if there was another way to pay for the costs associated with running it and all the time I put in. If any of you have ideas, I am all ears...

Let me know and I'll be right over... FYI, I really think it's a great idea to put a garage together and open it up to people who need to work on cars. My biggest challenge moving to Seattle is finding places to work on the car. We are buying a place with a pretty small garage so my shop will be minimal. Challenge will be to make it pay for itself. If there were enough guys getting together maybe we could create a club with a shop.
