    I might need a translator for the dyno graph as my German is very limited. I like the TVR it seems to be a fairly new car and I haven't taken car magazines for years so I don't see the newer cars. I love the lines from three sides but don't like all the holes in the rear panel. Very quick though. C
  2. My favorite way of describing these kind of things is "tuition" ie the cost of learning at one of these institutions Charles
  3. And there were some nice cars there... C
  4. Still love em. Seems like the way they should all be... C

    What was the car at the end of post number one? I didn't recognize it... C
  6. Looks great. Keep it waxed and in the garage and you could go a long time before paint. C
  7. I would love to see some dyno numbers or some idea of what the engine makes. By the way, love those Euro taillights... Charles

    Painting on a really humid day can give you the orange peel issues because the paint flashes slower. So if you don't give it some time to lay down and flash off, the next coat can cause build up, sagging and orange peel...my 2 cents. I love the transformation and even with some flows the car looks really good and infinitely better. C
  9. Love it! Sounds great... C

    Currently $9,000 with 2 days to go. That seems really amazing... C
  11. That's cool. Never tried that and have been doing a lot of trenching at work lately. C
  12. From the aerial pictures on Google he appears to 100-125 cars outside and 3-5 buildings. three are quite large C
  13. Thanks C

    I parted a 76 280z several years ago. I know the dash or instruments are in my shop some where but I can't locate them currently... Charles
  18. Very cool...great detective work. C

    I might, I will have to look... Charles
  20. Steve & Leon, Thanks for the responses. I love the idea of a period correct looking install with the custom programability... Now to just get one of my Z's running C
  21. That's a good sized coil, I did some looking around at Summit Racing to see what else Mallory had listed. Thanks for the response. I have found this whole thread very interesting and much easier than trying to go trigger wheel and Megajolt. Would Megajolt be superior in any way? Just wondering out loud... Charles
  22. I have a question. Mike W what coil are you currently running and what kind of spark strength is it putting out? When I saw the smaller distributor cap, I was wondering how large of a coil could be run before cross firing became a problem? Many times the caps are larger to allow running stronger coils...

    Go with gas as soon as possible. Easier, cleaner and the wire is more durable... C

    Casey_z I work outside on my tools most of the year. That's hard work welding up pipe outside in the cold. You have my sympathies... Charles
  25. Will they go on and stay if the door panel is off the door? Narrow down the source of the problem. If they fit with door panel off then its the panel thickness or hole cutout. If they wont its the handle, stud or clip... Charles
