Wow...how cool of you.. I was a little underwhelmed when I read the thread title, but man, all props for going out of your way to help someone else out.

That's because it's here now: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/ But 240zzzap, it's considered bad form to revive a thread that is over 6 years old to just say it doesn't work anymore... No worries, keep digging.

Welcome aboard! There's a pretty good contingent of us Canuckians on the board. Make sure you hook up with Ontariozcar.com, they are pretty active and have a SW Ontario division.

Ummm....Enjoy the ride????

A number of Z's have competed over the years. I believe for the most part they we in the racing division, not the touring division. Dig around their website, you'll find the historical data. See if you can find a team or two to chat with and discuss your options. (Or just call the Targa organizers...Newfs are great people...right Sailor Bob?). When do you turn 40? Next year? Cheers.

Ehh...it'll buff out... How cool is that?

Mike, Do a search. This has been amply covered previously but a few things you can do: 1) Extend tail pipe. 2) Redo seals 3) Seal up around tail lights 4) Drive with windows (both) down and vents open

No worries...I knew what you meant...sorry to hear about the Porsche...glad that you're here to talk about it...

I'm sure you didn't mean it this way...but you're wishing you would have bought a VZ...to total it...????:finger: RIP Porsche...but much easier to find another 997...

Awesome! Congrats on the progress.

OK...my wife would love you...we have a Tahoe on the sole basis of cupholders...

If no one here steps up to try and take a run at this car, have the owner get in touch with the guys at the www.bringatrailer.com site.

Search online. There are services that will make them.

Looks like a great project to get your kid into cars! My dad did the same for me when is was 14/15. I needed to drop in an engine, redo the brakes, patch a hole in the floor, redo the clutch. I learned a ton (a lot of which has now been forgotten unfortunately). Here's why your son is luckier than i was...I was working on a 1971 Pinto station wagon...

Nice car. Any sense of his asking price?

Welcome aboard. 1) Definitely join the Z club...the advice and help you will get will amaze you with any Z club. Always great people. 2) Post your pictures in this thread. Wierd thing about this board is that when you post to an album, it needs to be authorized by a moderator before being seen. If it's in a thread, immediate gratification. Can wait to see the photos.

Ok...lofty aspirations, but nothing wrong with that...follow that dream... Keep your eyes and ears open. Tons of Z's in your neck of the woods. Check out Zhome.com which provides an excellent buyer's guide to getting your first Z (it says it clearly, but just to reinforce it...avoid rust at all costs). Welcome aboard.

Any s30 or s130 (280ZX) is a direct fit. In south Texas, there must be some lying around in the junkyards... Try car-part.com which enables you to search yards.

Yeah, as long as they seem to be telling the truth and not hiding the flaws, you'll have an idea of what you're getting into... Can't wait until you take the plunge...

Awww..he's a good guy...probably let you shine the rims... Did you see the one on bringatrailer.com? Looks sick.

Man, are you going to be pissed when he pulls up in his new Skyline...

just build in an code. Easy if you use photobucket.

If you ever need a place to "store" your engine...

Yes. Very well put.

I'm not a qualified eletrical guy so won't be of much help, but you certainly should start with year and model and any potential modifications to guide the folks in providing assistance.
