i guess you edited after i posted not sure. haven't uploaded yet..

nice! i had my z in there when it was on the old server, but alas it was lost. thanks!

if anyone's looking for image hosting, my buddy just got his http://racejuice.org site back up with a new server. image hosting for all sorts of sweet rids. get us some datsuns in there

thanks a bunch for your concern and thoughts. the winds turned around as expected and the fires have slowed their advancing. it seems as though they are all heading back east now, but with all of the support from nearby cities, states, and countries, tons of neighbourhoods have been saved. a few communities that were evacuated have been allowed back in, but the devistation is great. only 2 deaths so far, which is great (well, less bad than more deaths). seems we learned our lesson from the cedar fire of four years ago tomorrow. our area appears to be out of harm's way, and i am hoping that the fires get contained sooner than later so fewer lives/houses are put at risk. thanks to everyone who has had us in their thoughts and prayers, and a big thanks to all of the volunteers and firefighters that have helped us all out. Jason

that's sexy!

place to start? the ignition switch. pun intended, and yes i do mean it.

absolutely. we have 6 vehicles at the house (although between 3 people ): the Z, the 510, the tracker (it's not running right now), the infiniti, the motor home, and roomie's truck. we've been getting important stuff all together (papers, guitars, welder) and getting ready to go just in case. we have places closer to the coast we can stay at if it comes too close. from what it sounds like a lot has been contained. if the wind reverses tomorrow like it's supposed to, we should be okay without evacuating. there are some fires that aren't expected to be fully contained until ~nov 4

o u betcha

hahaha... amoeba trick....

man, it's gettin closer..... i've got about 15 miles on the N, S, and E

thanks. ya, there's smoke even coming out here to La Jolla (on the coast).

Wildfires Rage in Southern Calif. SAN DIEGO - Wildfires fanned by fierce desert winds consumed huge swaths of bone-dry Southern California on Monday, burning dozens of buildings and threatening hundreds more from Malibu to San Diego, including a jail, a hospital and nursing homes. More than a dozen wildfires had engulfed the region, killing at least one person, injuring dozens more and forcing hundreds of thousands of evacuations. Overwhelmed firefighters said they lacked the resources to save many houses. "We have more houses burning than we have people and engine companies to fight them," San Diego Fire Captain Lisa Blake said. "A lot of people are going to lose their homes today." Nearly 250,000 people were forced to flee in San Diego County alone, where hundreds of patients were being moved by school bus and ambulance from a hospital and nursing homes, sheriff's spokeswoman Susan Knauss said. About a dozen blazes erupted over the weekend, feeding on drought-parched land from the high desert to the Pacific Ocean. One person was killed and several injured in a fire near the Mexican border, and dozens of structures have burned across the region. Warm temperatures and strong winds created "dramatically worse" conditions overnight as flames shot 200 feet high, said Bill Metcalf, chief of the North County Fire Protection District. In Orange County, a 1,049-inmate jail was being evacuated because of heavy smoke, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said. Inmates were being bused to another facility in Irvine. All San Diego Police Department officers and off duty detectives were ordered to return to work to help with evacuations. The fires have burned about 100,000 acres, or 156 square miles, in San Diego County, said county Supervisor Ron Roberts. Across the region, 40,000 acres, or 62 square miles, had burned by Sunday. "This is a major emergency," Roberts said. In many cases, crews couldn't begin to fight the fires because they were too busy rescuing residents who refused to leave, fire officials said. "They didn't evacuate at all, or delayed until it was too late," Metcalf said. "And those folks who are making those decisions are actually stripping fire resources." More than a dozen people were being treated at the UC San Diego Medical Center Regional Burn Center for burns and smoke inhalation, including four fighters -- three in critical condition, officials said. Some of the injured were hikers, and others may be illegal immigrants. One blaze devoured more than 5,000 acres in northern San Diego County and forced the evacuation of the community of Ramona, which has a population of about 36,000. Several structures were burned on the edge of town and sheriff's deputies called residents to alert them the fire was approaching the city, San Diego sheriff's Lt. Phil Brust said. "The winds are up, it's very, very dangerous conditions," San Diego County spokeswoman Lesley Kirk said. "Fires are popping up all over the place." Guardsmen assigned to the border were forced to evacuate one of their barracks and troops were aiding evacuations, said Col. David Baldwin, director of operations for the California National Guard. "The border is still secure, but agents are evacuating the threatened areas and the Guard is supporting that operation," Baldwin said. Qualcomm Stadium, home to the NFL's Chargers, was added to a growing list of evacuation centers. The fires were being fueled by stronger than usual Santa Ana winds roaring out of the region's canyons, scientists said Monday. The powerful, dry winds typically blow between October and February and peak in December. Typically, Santa Ana conditions last about a day, but the ones that flared up over the weekend were expected to last through Tuesday. "For it to be this strong for so many days is unusual," said Stuart Seto, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. In Saugus, north of Los Angeles, about 120 people spent the night on cots in the gymnasium of Saugus High School, principal Bill Bolde said. Michele Beard fled her home with her husband, mother-in-law and three older children. "It just lit up the whole mountainside fiery red," said Beard, 48. "I had never seen anything like that so close before." The fire in Malibu had destroyed or damaged 16 structures, among them a church, homes and a historic castle, and was expected to burn for another two to three days, Los Angeles County Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman said. "There will literally be thousands of homes that will be threatened" until the blaze is out, he said. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/custom/newsroom/sns-ap-california-wildfires,0,1082498.story ___________________________ anyone relocated from this? i love in Santee and am hoping not to have to evacuate... so far lakeside to the east and poway to the north have evacuated. i'm thinking about closing my store down because employees have to evacuate their homes...

if it wasn't returning, the relay would still engage, meaning that it would blink. i think that it's in the flasher relay.

the welcome halloween cat? nice! when you gonna take me for a spin? maybe those rubber spring spacers would work temporarily for the squat issue..

it looks like saving that car will result in swapping the firewall and vin tag onto another.... poor car

<3 thanks for the info!

agreed. very ferrari he is actually hosting them on photobucket

i know EXACTLY what you're going through, as i had the same ones. what i did was take a dremel to the bushing to remove approx 1/8" (at an angle, so it kind of curved around) off of each side of the bushing and took vice grips and squeezed the brackets together just enough so that i could get the bolts in. took less than 20 minutes and they fit wonderfully now

i recommend getting a canopy from pepboys or such. less that $100 and you can put tarps over the openings. plus that will look hideous for those pesky neighbors

n42 = bigger valves e88 = slightly higher compression IMO n42 is better

ya, glad you got it out. fwiw i saw your question was successfully answered in that other thread

did something similar in my e30 bimmer.. saw a button on the dash, was like "what is this?" pushed it, didn't do anything. "huh." later that day, i try to roll down the pass window. won't go down. so i'm trippin, thinking i have to troubleshoot a dreaded electrical problem. look up on ebay on the fuses and what not, and see mention of a window lock button... on the dash

sweet! dvr here i come!

i bolted the head on with the cam timed wrong. bent 4 valves and left little smilies in 1 & 6

speedo cable?
