    blasted buzzed (slightly less than drunk) faded "feelin' it" sauced up shitfaced shnockered wasted
  2. well, partially b/c i'm not dropping a v12 into it. if a sleek japanese sports car with a 2.4L L6 is "overengineering" then sue me for owning a z i have nothing against the bullet cars, it just seems like a waste TO ME when you can put a 13b in a miata and have the front end weigh at least 150 lbs lighter than if you had put a v8 in it. besides... what bugs me is the ford 5.0L in a miata: an ok engine in a great car..
  3. i know what you mean... i don't understand why people need to try to overengineer cars... especially essentially "perfect" ones like a miata

    .... aww... poor 27! i know i have no right to complain when compared with you, but considering that i only make $9K a year after child support and this car is my only, it's very hard for me to get this done.... i would LOVE to dip my car and do all new panels, but unfortunately i probably picked the wrong car for my budget (but how could i choose another?)

    thanks for all of the input, guys. it's too bad that the "rust monster" attacks Zs so terribly. it got to the point that last night i was thinking about selling my car and getting an RX-7 or something..... don't worry, i reclaimed myself
  8. ::drool:: i just love rare japanese sports cars! 'specially 2cyl ones! .. too bad i have no $$, especially after i do body work
  9. awesome! now i know how to tell them apart! thx!
  10. ya, i see the datsun roadsters misnamed "z"s more often than i would like. looks like a 2000 roadster? i dunno, could be a 1600. i can't tell

    hahha... funny. yet oh so wrong...

    the first one was just for body panels... rust, minor dents, a new hood, etc. etc. the second place was cut & weld, fabricate (same as first), and prime... similar stuff.... i know the second one isn't going to do everything, but i don't have $10K to spend. $^!#, i don't have $3K to spend, my fiancee is paying for it! i's gotsa pay her back, but i'm broke right now... anyway, i know that i'll get professional quality work done at the first place (they do a lot of cars for mags and shows), but i'm not looking for that. i just don't want my car to be all FeO2'ed up.... p.s. - i don't have the room or proper tools to do a lot of prep work, let alone time.... but maybe i could start figuring what i can do. the thing is: since it is rainy season right now, i don't want to leave my bare arse.... i mean metal open to the rain and cause more rust! AHHH! anyway, thanks for the ideas..

    well, it's rainy season here in san diego. my poor car leaks through the windshield and the hatch, and plus i don't have any wipers! anyway, that's not the point of this thread. my fiancee told me that i should get the rust on my car taken care of since it's only going to get worse. so i'm like "ok!" wel, turns out it's going to be a little more intensive than i had thought. first place i go to quotes me $10,000 (US) to take care of the rust, misc pieces, and paint to the original white. $10K!!!! ouch... well, i decided to go to my mechanic friend to see what he thinks. he sends me over to this place where the guy has been into z's for 20yrs or so... he owns a body shop and he quotes me $1000 for the body work, no paint. oh, and no bondo, all sheetmetal. he said another $2000 for the paint.... what do you guys think? is $10K too much or what? i know if anything i'm going with the second guy, since that's all i can afford... anyway, if there's anyone in the san diego area that wants to let me know about a good place (or someone that wants to do it for me for a good price ) let me know! sorry for the long arse post...
  14. the subframe on the camaro and firebird were the same. body panels similar but slightly different. ^EDIT duh! how could i have forgotten the dats roadster? or the 510! oh well.... too many nice cars...

  17. i'll be getting you a $$ order this week!
  18. ^yowza!!!!!!!

    hmm.... sounds a lot better than i was expecting btw... nice strongbad!
  21. my friends 85 corolla hatch was stolen last night from here in san diego. it is flat red (PO had it painted) with no black trim. it is VERY loud (no cat, exhaust leak) and has older celica rims (like the ones that came on the AE86 in GT3). if you see it, please call the police! thanks, jason
  22. you'd probably get more $$ if you melted them down or sold them as boat anchors

    not to hijack the thread, but are the LY heads reasonably easy to get your hands on?
  25. e_racer1999 replied to Ed's post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
