I'm pretty sure that fuel injection is too efficient. You need to be able to flood lots of fuel into the system to get the flamage effect. Carbureted works best. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

It involves wiring a capacitor in the back of the car to a spark plug drilled into your tailpipe. When you want to shoot flames you rev the $^!# out of your engine and push a switch to cut the spark to the engine. The unburnt gases then go down the exhaust and get ignited by the spark plug. With back fires and possible actual fires its hardly worth the entertainment value. Now a nitrous oxide vent blowing out the hood, that's way cooler.

I'm thinking that some sort of heat weld (melting) would be a possible repair for pliable plastics. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Does anyone near BC have a spare set to fit my '77 280? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Probably just as rare as my brakes. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Oh wow. That's way too much to bend by hand. Damn. I'm gonna need a parts car to get those. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I can probably get these ones relined with new friction material cheaper than Japanese ones and have em back right away. I just thought how hard could it be. They're just pads. Not realizing how rare they are. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I'd like to fit the real pads too. I just can't believe how hard they are to find in North America. Somebody must have em somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I had a look at those links and the Japanese bid site has the right pads for $90. Not a bad price, I guess. I still don't know who Kat is. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Have you been drinking? That post made no sense to me. You didn't at Kat. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I have Sumitomo calipers on my 280 and they need replacing. The auto parts guys are drawing a blank. Where else can I get a set? Other than Japan for 200 bucks. I tried 79 Toyota 4x4 but too short. These MK63s have those weird 'ears' sticking out the sides.

Does anyone have any pics of the inner fender panels? My car doesn't have them. I see the bolt hole tabs just waiting for its mate. Could somebody easily replicate them with sheet metal? I just need to see what they look like so at to cut their shape. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
