Approaching a major intersection on a bike can be terrifying. Staying with traffic flow is key. Jockeying up to the 1st car at light gives visibility. Yeah I might put a finger on the car for clipping in & balance. No harm done. I would hope they would respect the comrade at their side & acknowledge their presence giving rightaway to them at the turn. It's just a bike thing. -
I an't tell where exactly the roar comes frome either.
-
I agree you might want to take this to HibridZ.com for a more educated opinion. I have a custom Chevy 350 V8 in my 72 Z but have no idea what it would sell for today as I have had for over 10 years & have made several mods. The car looks really cool to me with clean interior & only thing telling is hood. Looks like solid minimally modded V8 conversion.
-
Now that is a worthy topic for discussion. I’m sure it has been done before but whatever.
-
Letting go of a car is like giving a child up for adoption. I feel your pain.
-
If you found a wallet say at a gas station with cash & credit cards would you attempt to contact owner ? If cash was $1.00? $100.00? $1,000.00? What would you do?
-
The white looks striking w/ that shade blue. What is it called?
-
Unfortunately I have 3 modified sports cars cars in the driveway.
-
More Recaros: I have the SRD model in my 240. They are a tight fit.
-
I live in a small hood w/ mostly good neighbors but a few bad apples. I just had my mailbox bashed a couple months ago for no good reason. I haven't knowingly ticked anyone off but feel I need to take precautions & do simple things to keep my cars safe.
-
Cool! Could you post a pic of a cap for a 240? Thanks for all your suggestions. And yes, unfortunately I must keep the Z outside. Wish I could keep them all inside for sure as the weather is taking its toll.
-
Yeah, I could get an OEM for $60. But I really want a locking one for security. Some of my neighbors may not like the roar of my Chevy 350 V8 I run with duel Supertrapps & do something evil like sugar or water.
-
Why, why, why? $60+ for a simple OEM gas cap for a 1972 240Z! My after market locking one is 10 years old & really hard to open now. Can't seem to find another locking one at all. Any source for the locking type now? Photo is what I have now with locking mechanism sticking to where I’m worried the key will break.
-
I keep one in all of my cars. Two in the Miata daily driver: one chrome for looks mounted to the brace behind the seats and one for throwaway use. Only time I have needed one is to put out a raging engine fire in a pickup flaming in the middle of a local intersection. Not my car but was glad to offer it up.

While I can't speak directly to Z dams I can rate 1st gen RX-7 dams as I've tried a few. Some definitly stabalize the car at over 100 mph. Therefore I'm thinking same type works for Zs but have no statistics.
-
So how do you separate air dams from "spooks"? Lots of pieces have vents in various sizes & places. I usually think of "spoiler" as tails or wings on the rear end. Please define. Thanks.
-
Funny how neither looks like mine or some of most common I've seen. I would love to see more styles compaired in wind tunnel w/ just air dams & no spoilers, side skirts, etc. I've considered the splitter on my Miata but looks a bit too trendish or something.
-
Sweet! Go ahead & batch process in PS. Can't wait to see the pix!
-
As you can see I was mainly interested in modified 1st gen. There were a ton of original 240, 260 280 models on display which is where the crowd was hovering so I didn't get many good pix of them. I hate taking photos of people taking photos. A handfull of 240s were golden. Others please post!
-
Please post your pix! Here are are few of mine from this morning:
-
Thanks for the F pic! I chose the green as it was a factory color & balancing composition w/ green in palms. I liked it also because it "popped" & stands out. Of course I have looked at it now for way too long to be completely objective...
-
Engine looks so sharp as to be Photoshopped. Love the nose shot!
-
Which would you prefer? See my new design (alternate being used in addition to original) for the 2011 international conference. Would you be likely to go for a T-shirt with 240Z like in my sig or Nismo like in new ad? Thanks.
-
BadDog: your new wheels are perfect w/ the silver car & black stripes. Love working shades of grey. If you didn't have the rocker stripes I would love to see graphite ghost stripes considered down center.
-
I went with Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks, & Suspension Technique springs. The HP sways were already on it. Has an added bar on rear to stabilize torque.
