zhead240

i feel for ya. couldn't imagine selling mine.

bienvenida a mi amigo. we like pics.

keep in touch once in a while. we can still use your knowledge.

is it a 72 red 240z? when i was at the cleveland convention there was a gold medalion red 72 zed with around 4500 miles. the owner only drove it to get the mail at the end of his driveway. i wonder if it's the same one, as there can't be many zeds with that low miles.

had a look today. the seller was a real peckerhead. very rude. i always ask if price is negotiable. his reply was " if u ask to negociate i'll up the price" huh??? no test drive, he'll drive , you ride. i wouldn't buy from him even if the price was right.

wife needs another car. i think i might have her talked into a 1990 300zx. it's auto ( only way she can drive) but it has 300K km. ( thats's about 200K miles) AC and heater work. i'm going to look at it tomorrow. asking price is $4200. my concern is the mileage. it's a titch high. should i be concerned or should i walk away?? if it's as reliable as my 240 i'm in!!

welcome aboard. post some pics when u get time.

how r u guys copiing with the heat?? up here in canada it been brutal!!!

i was hoping to see some early pics posted already. get them cameras clicking!!

wrong hubcaps for a 72.

post some before and after pics if possible.

welcome aboard. post some pics when u get time. how's the rust condition?

for the 72 there was a slight change in the cylinder style, is that true. my build date is oct 71. would i need the original or second one?

thanx. being from canada i don't think there's a rockauto here. is there a auto parts store in canada that might have what i need?

i'm needing new cylinders and pads. any advice on where to purchase items. do our sponsors give discounts to members? i'm thinking of ordering from motorsport or should i look on ebay.

post some pics when u get time.

i always change the oil and filter before i lay it up for the winter.

i don't use anything but i do have a dash cover.

one word for our weather.....SUCKS!!!!! local airport weather reports only 3 days did not rain from april 15 to may 15. forcast is more rain till end of may. adding to the misery , been unusually cold too. only driven my zed 4 or 5 times since begining of april. local golf courses takin a beating financially. i've only been out once. only good news is that i'm not in a flood plain. ps- guess what the weather is right now.....u guessed it, raining:tapemouth

had to have the starter repaired. took it to a local auto electric shop that's been in business for 50 years. also the only one who would remove from car and reinstall. all other shops want u to just bring in the starter. took the car in at 2 pm and it was done next morning. the problem was the bendix ( whatever that is) R/R starter- spins out 1 drive-$25 1 shop supplies- $2 breakdown and test all components- $40 remove and install- $29 tax$10 total $85 very happy with the service. less than half the cost of a new starter and minimal down time.

i read reviews from consumer report and repair bills are excessive. she no longer want a mini. whewwwwww.

the wife has her heart set on a mini cooper. ( used 2004 auto) i'm trying to talk her out of it but i think i'm losing the battle. anyone know anything about them- are they reliable- easy on gas- any quirks. looking at ads for pricing i noticed a few used ones have had the engine and tranny rebuilds, is that common problem? are they build by bmw?

someone suggested plastic bags, the motion and noise is suppose to distract them. i dismantled the nests and put the bags up. now, wait and see.........

sticky rat trap eh, i'll try it.

ok here's what i already tried plastic snake- worked for about a week mothballs- seemed to cause more nest building engine gunk removal spray- no effect. remove straw and twigs every other day, hope they give up- NOT someone suggested minute rice will kill them but i don't want to harm them any other suggestions?
