Jeff G 78

I have also noticed that prices seem to be down this year. I just watched a '68 Shelby GT500 numbers matching in beautiful condition sell for $100k. Granted, this is Florida and not Scotsdale, but I think it would have brought $150+ a year or two ago.

Great job Arne. It's interesting that we only have 99 pins from 18,258 members. Even if we have only 1000 active members, we're still only at 10%.

Time to update the avatar.

Jim, I believe that tire availability is the key. I gave up on 14" wheels and skipped over 15" wheels as well due to dwindling availability of quality tires. While there are still some 15" tires in the proper sizes, the selections are getting thinner by the day particularly in performance summer compounds. I went with tried and true Panasports in 16x7, but there are many cheaper choices that bolt right up. If you like the flat face look of modern wheels, you could go with Honda wheels and use spacers to correct the offset and bolt pattern. If you choose 16" wheels, there are TONS of quality tires in any style you need. I went with an ultra high-performance summer tire from Hankook and love them. Don't let the name fool you. Hankook currently has the most modern equipment in the industry and they make very high quality tires. They have tons of grip and are inexpensive. Here is a gratuitous picture

Like the new wheels Enigma. The brown/gold looks cool together.

Looks to be more of a Pantera GTS shape with the notch window, upswinging (is that a word?) lower quarters and big wing. Whatever it is, it UGLY! U-G... U-G... U-G-L-Y, you ugly, you ugly, oh me oh my.

Wow! That's a bunch! I am lucky to see a parts car on CL every few months.

It's on right now - Saturday until 7pm EDT http://www.ustream.tv/channel/24-hour-lemons-south It's actually pretty cool to watch and has live interaction with cameraman and viewers.

Here in metro Detoit, I have seen maybe three S30 Z cars on the road since moving here 15 years ago. What does surprise me is that when we have a Nissan/Infiniti show, several S30s always show up that I had never seen before. The cars are out there, but we don't have that much nice weather or good enough roads for people to put lots of miles on their cars.

Nice tone. I'd guess it has triple Webers/Mikunis from the sounds of it.

Hmmm, I have the exact opposite opinion. I am 6'-1" 190 and fit great in the S2000. I also think it's way more driveable than the RX-8. I had an RX-8 on a track and I didn't fit AT ALL. I needed 3+ more inches of headroom with my helmet. I couldn't even drive it, I was so cramped. My head was sideways and was still smashed against the roof. On the street, I don't want to have to abuse the car to keep up with old women in Buicks. I like a car that revs, I just don't want to be forced to beat the crap out of it 100% of the time. The S2000 drives just like a Civic below 6k - Not a ton of power, but enough to get around.

Have you actually driven an RX-8? While it handles and brakes great, it has NO guts. I've never driven a more pathetic street car. The Honda S2000 feels like a big block compared to the RX-8.

Thanks again. It's been running for about 20 minutes now.

Thanks Jon. One more question out of curiosity - If I run the Symantec revomal client, will it tell me if Conficker was there?

Mine is still napping, but if the weather looks good, I'll uncover it next weekend and start my spring upgrades. I have lots of work to do before our club's first meet on May 9th. I'm shooting to have it ready by the end of April. By then, the roads will be cleaner and with any luck, they will have filled some of the potholes.

I only know a bit about this virus. Will a standard anti-virus software find the trojan when it first comes in? Do I need to worry if my Avast hasn't flagged anything coming in lately?

Post deleted. Welcome and good luck Erick!

Speaking of moving a pin, how do you edit a pin? I couldn't figure it out.

Slackers! I'm not sure why they don't want to pin themselves. Maybe they don't want us to drop in for a visit? I am impressed with the northwesterners. I had no idea there were that many Z cars in that area. I would have guessed that Florida and southern Cal pins would have dominated the map.

Good luck. Like I said, on my '78, I checked it vs the FSM and could not come up with a switched power lead in the radio connector. Be sure to check the wires with a multimeter once you map out the wiring per the FSM.

I have a '78 and I had a heck of a time finding a switched +12V wire even with the FSM wiring diagram. It seemed like there should have been one in the original radio connector which was still intact on my harness, but nothing panned out. Finally, someone here pointed me towards a switched power wire under the dash on the far right side just above the FI relay box. I believe it is an unused wire with a bullet connector. I'm not sure if it's there on a '76, but I'd look there first. My car is still hibernating, but it will be awake in a week or so if you still need me to take a picture of the wire for you.

Very nice. I love the BRE spoiler and bumper swap. Welcome to the club!

Not to hijack, but did they use the same color throughout the S30 years, or did it change over time?

These jokes stink.

It's funny to see only four pins in California and five in Canada. Are the Californians afraid to admit that they own something other than a Prius?
