Looks like I'll be there. No Z though.... Just a rental car.

Yea, cmon guys it's a used car. It's not going to be perfect. Anyone who decides to buy it should go look at the car in person to make sure it's exactly what they want. I don't see anything in his ad that makes me think he's lying and a cheater. Jumping to that conclusion is negative thinking and not fair to do right out of the box. For less than $3k it doesn't look that bad to me. If I was in the market, I'd certainly ask for a few more photos and try to make a judgement call if it's good enough to buy a plane ticket. Buying a car over the internet without looking at it in person is just asking for a confusing purchase. I've seen it happen. Anyway, thanks for sharing the link.

I'm a bit confused as to why this thread is such a huge problem... A classic Z was sold through Ebay. If the new owner wasn't happy with his purchase, he should be contacting Ebay or the proper facilities to get this resolved. Posting all of the "evidence" on this site and public bashing isn't something we want to be known to promote. I'm going to close this thread now. Thanks. Mike PS: The updates to the car do look great! Even if there is some purchase 'drama' I think the final product looks pretty awesome!

There are various ways to do this in the USA, but, there are complete kits available at Motorsport: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/PBC12 From what I can see, they have a few options ranging from a small kit with the brackets to a stage 1 and stage 2 setup. I have heard you can put these parts together yourself but you'll still need the bracket.

Yea, Oregon is a bit strange in a lot of ways. I don't mind the gas thing, and, as long as I'm standing next to the guy when he fills up my tank, there are no scratches. I really like the fact that we don't have to pay sales tax. But, this bill is an absolute joke and I seriously doubt it will be passed. There is a lot of money riding on this one.

I actually know a lot of Roadster owners who frequent this site. Since our sister site, classicfairlady.com, is down at the moment, this is a good place to start up conversations. I'd love to start discussing the info here because it was really the start to the Z anyway.

CONGRATS on the new arrival!!! This is exciting news and it's good to see another future classic Z driver coming into his own. Get some sleep and enjoy the baby stages!!

OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and refers to products sold with your car when it was new.

Here's a link to some really cool Scarab information provided by one of our members. It's at the Zcar Club of Washington: http://zccw.org/zforum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=159

After looking at that engine on Ebay, I think you should probably stay away from it. The the oil filter area is painted over including the threads and valve. The title of the ad says E31 head, but, the description inside says E88 head. Call the guys at Rebello for an engine rebuild. You should see their banner pop up every so often. Mike

Glad to see you back, Ronnie. If you ever forget your password again, you can use the "forgot password" link to recover it. Assuming, of course, if you're email address is correct... the system will send you a new password. Enjoy!

Hi guys, it's cool to see new forums go online and hope you have the best of luck with it. Please remember to post links on those sites back to ours, especially if you're using our forum to promote it. Thanks!!

Lovin the Buell... nice work!

Hi there YOUNG ONE!! This is yourself replying nearly 6 years later. OMG. What did you learn in that timeframe? Women are C-R-A-Z-Y!! And, it's awesome to have friends on this site that can help you finish your Z project. I just can't believe it's been nearly 6 years since I saw you on this thread. Things are going much better these days and I love what you've done with the website since 2003!! I'm now 38, 0 kids, 0 wives, 1 girlfriend, 1 parrot, a '71 complete car, and no more parts or junk in the garage. Wee!

Love it!! Nice work on the paint job....

Nice job!! Thanks guys...

Guys, The forum (or any electronic means) isn't a desired place to settle issues like these because there is no way to understand the intent, or feelings, in a message. If you have something to work out, I suggest you get on the phone rather than use the club forum to express opinions. I believe Pierre took the time to register, admitting who he is (and how he can be contacted), in order to help clear any misunderstandings. This takes guts and I believe it's something that should be followed up on the phone. Thanks guys. Mike

Welcome to the club! Well, after you find a perfect Z, we'll have to change your user ID to "Ihaveazcar"... Good luck with the ads. You can also post an ad here as I'm sure you'll find that we've got a better focus on Z's than anyone else on the planet. But, that's just a proud admin talking. ha! m

Hi Monte, Yes, the images you're uploading to the forum are too big and seem to be overloading something. A better way is to upload the photos to your gallery (link is above) and then you can send to it here. Mike

Great survey! I'd probably own a 370z just because it's starting to look more like a retro Z (and it has so much power). The GTR of course because it's a beautiful car to drive. And, the Z32 just because I've always liked the way they look when all the weight is stripped out. I've already owned a 350z and they are kinda boring.... The Nismo however... Oh, I'd probably do another Roadster or a 510, too.

What! I didn't get my issue yet. Running to my mailbox today....

Yea, it looks pretty universal to me. Might not be designed to fit perfectly. The description says it also comes with an overdrive button... hmmm..

Guys don't get too crazy on this thread. Political discussions are always hot on any forum and hard to control. While I'm not excited about anything related to politics, I am glad it's finally over and hopefully the economy will get better. We can all use that !! m
