- oh noes!! I got the Z back from the paint shop
good thinking.. I have some bubble wrap left..- oh noes!! I got the Z back from the paint shop
I got it back last night.. still some things I need to do, like put the rear bumper back on, light covers, ect.. even though the lighting sucked last night, I still had to take a picture and post it. I should be getting professional shots this weekend hopefully- Trying to sell: 1973 240z (Fairlady Z)
well, if someone is intersted, and if I have time, I can check it out for ya... I live in Dallas..- I know of a very nice '73 right hand 240Z for sale
forgot about that damn rule... I'll tell him to sign up here and make a post- I know of a very nice '73 right hand 240Z for sale
I'm a moderator of Dallasimports.net and someone just posted this up. thought I would let everyone know about here. http://www.dallasimports.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=81&t=60446&st=0#entry835197- hahaha found the problem
just the standard, non coated ones, from Motorsport Auto... eventually I wanna get some nice coated headers.- hahaha found the problem
I yelled with glee...until it I realized.."damn, now I gotta that header off to get that hole welded shut"- hahaha found the problem
my car used to run like crap while sitting at a stop light... then after driving it awhile it would get better.. I could never figure it out.. I always thought it was heat and/or tuning... well, I finally figured it out ...my heat shield too close to the header and the vibrating heatshield actually sliced a hole in one of my primaries hahaha. and the hole was directly under my rear carb... I'd sit at a light, and slowly the rear carb would be sucking in exhaust, and run like crap!! :stupid:- pics from the body shop
no, I was contemplating selling the motor.. but decided to just keep it as is and make it look good... yeah, I posted an mp3 file of my exhaust note awhile back.. btw, here is a vid from last Feb at MSR open track event... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGErzaIlpsQ- pics from the body shop
I dont know?... i'm not doing the work..- pics from the body shop
you know it. Everyone i know, associates that car with the blue haha... it will be a little darker and it will have clear coat this time... it will also have a mild spoiler in the rear(you'll see it on my hood haha)... I used to not like that look, but when I put it on and looked at my car profile with my Kaminari front spoiler... it just seem to fit... can't wait to see it all done with my new Black Panasports...- pics from the body shop
yeah, the last paint job (although it looked good from 50ft haha) it had a lot of flaws in it... this guy is good.. only drawback is he supports a major team in the national car show scene. I'm associated with them, but not part of em.. so my car sits on a backburner until there is free time... but I'm getting it all done for about half the cost.. so I really can't complain..- pics from the body shop
It's still not done.:disappoin . but I guess it's worth it considering the deal I'm getting.. here are a few pics so far I know it's a mess now, but damn the car sure is straight now.. it had sooo many waves in the sides.. hopfully I'll have her on the road by the end of summer- Flywheel/clutch ?
I think you need the clutch collar as well. the 2+2 is different..- Some pics from the Z Convention in Dallas
here are a few pics of me and a couple of other cars.. let me know if you and your car were there.. I have a bunch of pictures... I might have your car.. BTW I drove the Blue 350Z around the oval and the red one around the AutoX course- fast cars???
it might be easier to just get rich and buy one of these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBzJdoBky1Q&search=ccx- I just can't wait any longer!!
haha, aint that the truth... currently I'm driving my new Titan(the tow vehicle).. which is a nice comfortable ride and all, but it doesn't do well in the turns hahaha- I just can't wait any longer!!
My Z has been at the body shop 2 weeks.. it was down for a month prior to that while I had the engine out for cleaning and repainting engine and the engine compartment... basically I havent driven my Z since my Feb 4th... this waiting to drive it is just killing me!!!! are any of you feeling my pain?? . and the fact that I know how good it will look when it's done makes it even worse... How do you guys cope with your Z being down for long periods of time?- Z is getting a face lift
I just cut the air horns out of the stock air filter.... I will be getting new filters though...thinking of going with the K&N filters.- Z is getting a face lift
here's a couple better pics of the engine- Z is getting a face lift
Thanks, I'm just running the Header and 2 1/2 inch exhaust from Motorsport Auto, with an after market high flow mufler made by a company called Forza..- 240Z schools Mustang and a 350Z @ VIR North
great vid... damnit, now you got me itching to get back at the track...- Z is getting a face lift
suspension is next on my list (just have tokico springs/struts/poly bushings.)... But hey.. I"m sticking with some pretty decent cars on the track ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGErzaIlpsQ ).. without the badass suspension set up ahahah... not to mention $^!# tires... well, dont' wanna get ahead of myself.. "paint first david, paint first"- Z is getting a face lift
well, I'm still going to try and do both... I still gotta get my laps in at open track days.. I'll just have to be careful hahah easier said than done... - oh noes!! I got the Z back from the paint shop
