def a great article. i personally use k&ns; it certainly FEELS more powerful, but the seatofthepants dyno isn't always correct....

i wish my z was pretty like vics....

man! and i was gonna order another one from ya! oh well, guess i'll make my own.....

if you go with gmail it warns you... good stuff! if you want an invite, i have like 100

for what it is it's actually in pretty nice condition.

i'd love to know if there are any EL kits available. i mean, i dig the original look as much as anyone, but on a daily driver it's not very practical in the dark!

i saw that car awhile ago..... is that an sr20det? EDIT - i guess it would have helped if i READ the link before i posted that q....

you could get a reconditioned one from MSA or VB; i believe they're around $2k for long blocks. if you want to go junkyard (which might be better overall cost-wise) you can probably expect to pay around $150

it's definitely not ideal, but it works for me. i haven't felt any noticible power loss, but i can't honestly say i've felt any gains. it SEEMS like it makes more power, but that's only seat-of-the-pants.. since i'm going to be putting my vented hood on, the vent is right above the filters, so i'm hoping that it will bring in more cold air.

i dig the k&ns as well.... here's my set up (in my dirty engine bay; now they're in the clean one)

welcome! you found the right site if you need info!

what i like from the car - the seats. but prolly not in a z

man! what's worse is that i thought about something like that almost a year ago and didn't do anything about is!!! DAMN!!!!

ya, i'm pretty sure that it is not a 71 as stated, considering the rear panel, bumper, and even the lic plate. the ca # on my late '72 is 512 XXX and the evel car is 702 XXX. ca lic plates go in numerical order (somewhat); but that's not to say that the car wasn't re-registered at some point in time. anyway, just a thought.....

i personally like white and silver (especially with red interior) but i'm going to keep mine the original color. but you should do what you want!

i think black would look nice. i do think that the gold looks nice, though. maybe something different like red? just throwing out ideas....

if you're gonna get a CF hood, i wouldn't recc. doing it, b/c then there will be strip, hood, stripe...... unless you paint the hood.....

^^AHHHH!! i'm helping my fiancee with her statistics (sadistics) class right now..... DAMN YOU!!!!!

just the test. my fiancee does the same commute every day and her car is pretty reliable.

you'd have to listen closely and look carefully to know for sure.... my eyesight is bad...

i'm gonna try it.

check out this clip and listen for the coyote... can't really tell if it's real or fake... http://www.big-boys.com/articles/coyote1.html

i'll give it a try....

love the black, but your car really works with the polished one
