Thanks for the Input Guys! I don't race SCCA- So no issues there - That is why I was looking for Steve Toth as he had told me he had some of the scratch resistant High Impact stuff and lexan for the rest - I like the Idea of dropping a 100lb off my car for sure - Easier than off of me even with fabrication!!

Looking for some premade Impact windsheild material, side and rear deck- This is for racing purposes - What are people using? Anyone know someone doing that or can privide a solution?

Can some forward me his email addy or Phone number He was in Austin, Tx. - I bought some Zparts form him a while back and now his numbers are no Good - Biz name was Classic Racing - He has plexiglass windows and impact Windsheilds premade for 240z - thanks ahead of time! John W.

OK - Now is the time to start working on my 240z suspension since I got a base line on my car this weekend at WSIR. Shocks are the first to be replaced, from reading here it seems there are early struts and late model. I already have the coil over kits installed and camber adjusters with some blown Tokico :tapemouth Illumina shocks and want to go with a better shock setup. Which from reading sounds about right with the spring setup - 250 /F & 275 /R I haven't pulled these apart yet so I don't know which struts I have nor do I know how to tell the difference yet. There is a diameter difference from what I understand. Any help there would be appreciated! I know Mark Belrose likes the Ground Control he has and I love the idea of the adjustability and capable of being rebuilt since I'm used to this in my spitfire with my koni adjustables. Seems like the Koni's are harder to find and work with the later model struts only? Any comments nor help would be great! thanks, John W.

Being I'm just learning about this motor I have read that the 9mm stuff is the way to go. I have used Carrillos and Pauter in my Spitfire but was reading that the Z motor rods are pretty good to use for Race motors under 8,000 RPM. I was already going to use ARP but would like to start out with the 9MM stuff. Seems like Rebello is buying all they can find. I also heard some models were actually already shottpeend? If the 9's can't be found then 8MM would be good to with ARP's. Just figuring out a budget at this time. thanks for the input

Looking for a rebuildable set of L24 9MM rods. Building a Vintage race motor.

Craig, I was at the Big Bore Bash in my Spitfire. Unfortunately I broke a axle. I race against Mordy all the time. He's always chasing my Spitfire. Yea VARA is racing Club and lots of Fun. It's more low key than SCCA or pro class and let us "tune"our cars more. I'm one of the Rookie Instructors for VARA and have a lot of fun with the new Guys and Gals every Friday night before the racing over the weekend. Not much physical req'd except a physical every 2 years. Head and neck restraints for 2004 are recomended not req'd till 2005. A neck collar is required in 2004. All Std Safety stuff req'd, Fuel Cell, Diving Suit (2layer) or Single with Nomex underwear, Gloves and Driving shoes and a Snell 2000 (not M) Helmet. $75 a year Dues'. Race weekends are $210.00 for 2 sessions a day with a 30 min race on Sunday. CA. Speedway Race will include a test day Friday for $50.00. They do give discounts for 2 cars same driver but not 2 drivers one car. I'll be at Irwindale for Anual Tech with my Spit. (Silver #892) Look for me there by Mordy. See ya there! John W.

Anybody here on the west coast going to the Vintage Auto Racing University driving school? Would like to see some 240z's there as I'll be instructing again and bringing my new 240z if I get it ready in time!
