2ManyZ's GT2 Race Car fund
I can't believe you guys !!! I mentioned a a GT 2 car that 2manyZ's was looking at, as a joke I said I am starting a fund. Then you guys jump in and say me me me . Hey, most of us are having hard times lately and can't spend money on the things we want. Deals will always come along if you have cash in hand. I have been on the good end of a bunch of them. Sometimes you just have to wait until your time comes. My car has been on hold this Summer , because of lack of funds

Dwight, Not only are you broke now, but after buying that car and sinking another couple grand into it you will really be broke

What do you run?
I thought it was in the 16's or 17's. Remember it had 3:36's and wasn't a rocket off the line

Laguna Seca Oct. 4,5,6
Steve, Your are killing me with this post. I would love to come down and watch races at Laguna . Unless you are in a large BMW , Porsche, or Cobra club chances are you aren't getting on the track. They even gave the US Touring Cars grief with the sound levels I heard. My friend did attend the Mini Cooper event they had there last year and he has some great photos of his car coming down the hill.

350Z TV Ads
I really like the add they used on the website when they were introducing the new 350Z about a year and a half ago. It was set to music and showed the Z plates and them making the original Z, also showed its racing heritage. I should have saved that one to file

Experience with ATK Engines
Mike, Are you back in Oregon again ? If so I can probably put you in touch with an engine builder with L Motor experience. I know some of the main guys in NWDE and also a few racers over your way.

What do you think of the new 350 z?
I still not crazy about the 350Z, but I didn't think the 240Z was all that cool when I was a kid. Infiniti's G35 Coupe looks better and has the same running gear as the 350Z. I guess it will have to grow on me

Header leak problem
I used the stock type gasket from my import parts store. I then took the copper high heat sealant and put a bead on both sides of the gasket before installing. It has been holding up fine for me. The first time I intalled it I didn't use the copper sealant and had leaks. Also I used anti seize on all the mounting studs and bolts. It is much easier to get the nuts back off later.

Car Of The Month
Don't let 2ManyZ's pick one. He doesn't know what a running 240Z looks like Acually I like the random car pick. When you start getting into the Car of the Month stuff. You get people voting for their friends, or the high dollar cars getting picked all the time. I like hoew you picked EricB's car. He has been working hard on it and isn't doing a frame off or show type car.
