Scans are ok but when they are so tiny it is foolish. I think the Amazon cloud viewer is the problem.

Update: I bought it but it would only play on Kindle Cloud Viewer. It would not zoom so a page was only ~ 3" high and useless. I got tech support to help but there was nothing they could do so they refunded the purchase.... very dumb of them to sell a book you can't read.... so much for cutting edge technology.... good thing they don't make cars.....

Anyone know if a kindle download can be saved to hard drive? I just downloaded Amazon's windows kindle program but the sample file will only stay in the cloud and not in my HD content location.

I like blue coloured cars.....

Front differential mount is usually the klunk cause.

For softening old rubber I found this: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=865303 "I recently ran into a formula for softening age hardened rubber... couple ounces of wintergreen oil in a pint or so of xylene. I just did some intake boots & they went from rock hard to like new flex in 24 hours. I am astounded at how well it worked. the wintergreen is supposed to have a natural plastisizer in it called meythyl salicylate. the test bits did not swell up noticeably and are still pliable after a couple days sitting on the bench. I put another set in mix yesterday & they show improvement, but not as dramatic as the first set. I intend to leave them in until tomorrow & see if they continue to improve. It's the same mix though, so maybe some fresh materials would speed things up. I got the oil from a local health food store, another source is homeopathic medicine. I hear that sports medicine uses it too." ""With nothing to lose, I immersed them in lacquer thinner and checked them twice a day. The things swell up and you would swear that they are ruined, but they shrink back to normal in a few days. Some guys also use wintergreen available at drug stores and make some sort of brew mixing it with the solvent. I just use the lacquer thinner until the boots soften enough and then soak the boots in the wintergreen for a day. As they start to shrink, the wintergreen sucks in to the rubber. The wintergreen at a cheaper price is also known as Thor Tire Prep #12 and available at kart shops to soften racing tires.""

Just use alcohol on a rag to wipe the wires and harness clean. Vinegar may also work nicely. Lacquer thinner is a harsh solvent so only use it to sparingly to revive rubber or full strength to dissolve undercoating. btw it was used in the recording industry to refresh the rubber rollers on tape recorders.

Remember. KEEP ALL OF YOUR 240Z PARTS and collect the ones missing. That will be a $30-$40k car in 5 to 10 years in stock form and you can thank me then Post a pic of your dad's bike too! Cool family!

Lacquer thinner will soften rubber , not sure how long to immerse. Experiment

I wish I had more time in Atlanta... at least I could have bought you a beer. My daughter in that photo is now 21.... time is faster than a Z.

a spot welder may fuse the bolt to the plate too.

It is usually the switch under the ignition key that develops carbon on the contacts. Replace it or remove and flush with solvent while turning. It screws to the back of the ignition key mechanical assembly so the only thing you have to remove is the steering column plastic housing. If I recall correctly there are two small philips screws behind the switch so you may have to stand beside the car and looks through the front wind shield as you turn the screws.

Thank Dr. 240z he sent it to me.

Chrome-mites are pests that destroy shiny bumpers.

Thanks to Dr. 240z for this interesting marketing letter. One of the first restorations.
