    True on the crossmember. I am talking with A shop here that is helping me with this. They said they may be able to fab A subframe that could use most of the stock mounting places. Then if I wanted to change back it wouldnt be A ton of work. I will find out more later in the week. So far the cheapest I have found is $800.00 & still looking.

    Yes it is A switch. But it is A switch that is screwed into your transmission. You can find it on the pass. side (I think) it will have two wires run to it. I have never done this but have been told that you can run jumper wires from there and hook up your rev. lamps on A toggle type switch. Just dont leave them on :stupid:

    Have you been on the road without the lower plug in???
  5. O-man that sucks. Hope he had insurance. I can hear it now.(Look at this. He hit me so hard it cracked my dash.) just kidding. Find out what you need and get the list out. I may have some parts.
  6. I think the easy way is getting to know the bumpers. The early Z had thin nice looking bumpers but as the years go on they get into the big crash bumpers. I dont know what was on each year. sorry.

    first warm up your motor. inlet valves 0.010 (0.25 mm) exhaust valves 0.012 (0.30 mm) The way I understand it yes.

    Cool, no big rush. I think they are the short. Just wanted to know what was on the car. I have about 2 1/2 turns lock-lock now.

    I dont see it as cheap. But I think you also need to keep in mind what the cost of A corvette irs + the headache of mounting the disc brake. This just looks like one nice/neat set-up. On the cost so far online I have found them starting @ $1200.00 I can do better I am sure.

    Has anyone looked into A jag rear end ? I had A buddy over talking about doing A disc set up on the rear of my Z. He asked if I had looked into the jag irs rearend. After looking this over I think this may be the ticket. With the v-8 going in this will hold the HP. and look @ where the brakes are at.
  13. http://www.kugelkomponents.com/focus.html Look @ this. I was looking around and found A shop that sells A V-8 kit for A ford foucus. I saw this and just had to share.
  14. I was wondering about that. I have seen the W8 badge but didnt know if it was just the name or the motor. I will go and look now. Sounds cool.

    Thats the kit I saw in the boneyard in vegas. You are 100% on with the square headlights. They look nasty. The kit looked like it COULD have been nice. But this one looked like they glued in on and took the car in for A $99.95 paint job.:disappoin DAMN Z KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!:dead:

    OK, I am looking to find out if the prev. owner may have put the short steering links in. On A stock 240 how many turns is it from lock-lock ?

    First on the rear 1\4 glass. There are four screws two on top two lower. If you have rust these are not going to be fun. I would say grind or drill the heads off the screws. Pull the glass out then deal with that rust. The glass will come out easy frame and all as one. I will put A photo in for you. Front 1\4's PULL THEM. here. http://www.240z.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3077 Read this it will help. Black. Please think about what you want. The darker the color the more flaws in the body pop out. You will also want A carwash at your house. Black shows dirt and dust more then any other color. But A Z in black would look good.

    well its out. again :tapemouth
  21. carguyinok replied to carguyinok's post in a topic in Introductions
    Well, pulled it again. I think I am getting good @ pulling Z motors and trans. 2 hours 30 minn. alone This time its out for A good long time with the vette tpi 350 on the way. I think this one will just get A good cover and tucked away. Maybe switch back some day.

    I have seen the same body kit. But I saw this one at A junkyard in Las Vegas. Hmmm this may tell us something about this kit.

    owner retiring. After the car sells. Is it just me? That looks like some one took A Z's roof and put it on A 94 mazda rx7 body.
  24. Thanks
