She told him to go do something at the end of that exchange! He looked at himself, and looked at her with a look conveying,"if it weren't a physical impossability, I would actually consider it!" 42 was the answer to the ultimate question of the universe! Another trivia question: How did the producers of a very popular TV show get rid of a pending lawsuit with Ferrari for having a Ferrari branded kit car as a highly visable member of the cast. What was the show, what was driven next?

Same Movie: What was the statement Ferris' sister made to Charlie Sheen in the police station-now write a caption for the look he gave in response!~ Hint- he gives a "strongly considering it, and wish I could" look... Will P.S. you came up with the book that 42 came from, but, what was its significance?

Ferris Bueler, Ferris buelers day off. Sane Movie: What was the statement Ferris' sister made to Charlie Sheen in the police station-now write a caption for the look he gave in response!~ Arthur Dent was from where? Who Wrote the book?

Andre the giant was in the movie!

Who said "inconcieveable" so often if became irritating, and in what movie?

You did, just then, but maybe you were quoting Forest Gump! You knew a Savannah native would get that-the movie being substantially filmed here and all...

Lets hear it for Zaphod Beeblebrox! HHGTG is the right answer-but "NO" actually does answer the question as well. What about the textile-same book/radio show... Zaphod-that sounds like a good Member name! Will

It is realy hard to beat the driveability of EFI, but if you like to tune and tinker, the SUs are great! Either is fun, if you want to get in turn the key and drive every time, then EFI is the way to go. Will

Anybody know the significance of 42? 6x7, 7x6. What is the most valuable textile?

I think most 240Zs were shipped with 3.70. Changing them is OK, it will change your acceleration, top-end and fuel ecomomy. Look at the other plates in the car, if the dates match, you probably have a goof! As to the value, probably not a big old bunch of money, my lottery comment was more about the odds than the value-sorry:cry: Will

The article is written, but the pictures were horrid, I don't want to post it with out them-they are truely worth 1000 words...I will take new pictures soon. Will

Yet another reason to live in Cali! Will

Hey 26th, a bullseye again! I found that site last week-excellent! I used to think vintage hand built cars were well made if there was less than 1" variation in ground clearance from one side to the other. Now we get to see the variation in the mass-production cars! Something to do with the Demming Philosophy we gave the Japanese... Will

Hey 26th-that was a great explanation! You had another great point I hadn't even thought of, an error on the "original" data plate! Matt, definitely check out the info on it against the rest of the car-You could win that lottery! Will

Welcome back to the land of Z lovers, Congratulations on getting another Z. Sounds like other than spinning you wheels inWA, you are better off! Why doen't the dog cook, my cat can use the toilet! Oop-you wife probably has something to do with it-Job Security and all! I'll cross my fingers and mess up my hair for yor Z! William Stokes

Mat, Enrique might be able to find out for you-he is one of the resident know-it-alls! Just kidding, he is an active member on many of the clubs I lurk in, and is usually right. He may have a way to track your tranny-I know it has a number that is linked to a vin, and a part number stamped on it that will give you a model range, but I have not done the math backwards to find a model year. I have gone only far enough to find the "original" gear ratio. I hope you are taking lots of pictures too! The '72 I am going to restore is currently in the field too, so I know I will be going up there in the next several weeks. If you get ready for paint before then, let me know, and I will make a special trip Will

Matt, you got something! Check your vin, maybe your car was put together Locally, not in Japan! It does sound like a 2+2 door plate! I have several '72 coupe parts cars if you want a plate more appropriate to your car, PM me your vin, and when I go back up to the field-45 miles away-I will pull one closer for you. Mr. Ramsey, I didn't figure for you for a guy that gets his skiveys in a knot over guys-Good Z part maybe, but not fellas! Any Z that is being taken care of-even slowly-as long as there is progress is beautiful. I hope you are taking before and after pictures. I am getting ready to start a new "modoration" on the '72. I am also in the throws of moving-er remodeling before the move, when I get moved, I will get the "new" Z in order from the bottom up! William Stokes

I read through the archives, and found no mention of TEP, and that the question of additions to arrive at a better suspension are better answered by the intended use of the car. I am getting ready to completely go through a '72 (shiney side down) ,and I want to upgrade the suspension for better street handling, I might occassionally autocross-at a club event, but more often than not the car will be used for pleasure driving and stoplight racing. MY thoughts are a lowering spring/adjustable shock kit, complete urethane bushing kit, bigger wheels and tires, and toyota/zx brakes. I think the marginal cost in time and money is too much on coilover conversion-at least for my use. William Stokes

Mr. Ramsey, If it is early-early, late-late, or any where in between, it is bea-utiful! It is what it is, and it is yours! In many cases POs put in what ever replacement parts were avalable: MY Late '73 has a '72 dash, and did when I got it. The '72 I am going to turn shiney side down has a verticle defroster grid. It may be bastardization to some, but that does not mean it didn't happen! I enjoy a car for what it does-a museum holds a car for what it is. William Stokes

Hi MikeW, AJ did close up shop, and Mickey of CRE is his son! AJ is one of my closest friends, and we are looking at making some things for the early Z cars. I am moving , and in the move, AJ and I will have a comfortable place to work. I set him up an email address at aj@hls30.com . We are waiting for my move to be finished, and a rotisorie from one of the members here, and then we will be starting a GU rest/mod on either my '73 or a '72. Jason, yes, I did get your email, I am going to check out the '72 this afternoon. I can give you particulars/pictures of my car/CRE off list. I will round them up ad PM you tonight. Will

Wow! You read what I thought, not what I wrote! Thanks for the correction! Will

l_ortega99, I hope you understood I was making the same point you did. Most exterior stuff only empties your wallet faster, and it usually makes the car slower by adding drag and weight to a car that is already aerodynamicly challenged, and in need of a diet! "Go fast goodies" are usually the evident under power only, and not while sitting in trafic with the license plate rattleing to then overdriven beat agonizing everyone else in earshot! Will
