  1. Seriously... You can say that with a straight face? If I told my wife I'm headed out to the garage to wax my drive shaft, I'm not sure she'd be home when I came back in.
  2. Sorry to start this rather "racy" topic on a Sunday morning, but I have something I believe you will want to see in the way of vintage intimate Z apparel. I find myself with a rather skimpy piece of clothing that just doesn't fit my well endowed Z. Perhaps its more to your liking and style. This item is new and un-worn. I resisted the urge to try it on. Never know who's lurking around with a camera these days.... Let me know if you're interested. Asking $50 + shipping but will consider all offers. Will package in a plain brown wrapper to ensure your privacy and to reduce embarrasent upon arrival. Final buyer will remain anonymous.
  3. She looks good now, all fresh and perky... wait 'til she gets old and saggy: (a poorly stored Z bra)
  4. Finally I have it mostly put back together. I had all the metal parts Zinc plated which was a lot of work, fortunately I had two of everything so I was able to disassemble the car after I got the parts back. I didn't have to trim any of the heat shield with my header installed which was great. A few details and then the hood can go back on and off to the muffler shop. I purchased a 2.5" exhaust system from MSA awhile back and it hangs way low back near the diff. I suspect I will just have to have a custom piece welded up to get it right.
  5. When you say the numbers don't match, what do you mean? The engine number should match the data plate under the hood that has the engine number on it, not the VIN number....
  6. Good to hear Sexy. I didn't want to get rid of mine after I found it. Thanks for letting me know. 8^)
  7. I'll ask [emoji23], but I have to restore one of my other teachers old pos chevys, it's a full resurrection[emoji849]. Sent from my iPad using Classic Zcar Club mobile
  8. @SteveJ Sorry for the thread jack, I'm done...
  9. Looks very nice BUT is it "fine Corinthian leather"?
  10. On my modded 1971 240Z ( Cam M445 Shadbolt, 2.5" exhaust, ported and polished E31 head ) I ran E88 needles if my memory is correct. . Again those were perfect at the Top end but too rich at idle and low range with the Cam and Mods I had. So what I did is install the needles dropped .020" from the flush setting. This leaned the low end , but kept the Top end. Taper changes fairly rapidly at fat end, but the taper is slow at thin end. I just used a set of Vernier calipers set to .020" and butted the needles's shoulder up against that. Then tightened the set-screw. Mixture came out perfect.
  11. I'm wondering if he may have inadvertently brought a stronger spark into the mix? A ZX distributor with a Z cap and button, they'd be closer??? so stronger spark. I could try it, I have the parts able to easily switch over. Maybe I'll try tomorrow? Maybe not, just stay in bed.

    There was plenty of door-to-door racing, too.
  13. I think your first customer is in Panama.
  14. Where's my sunglasses??? Found 'em. Ahhh. That's better.

    Unfortunately, it looks as though tomorrow will be a washout. However, we need the rain badly, so I refuse to complain. After all, I was able to spend two glorious days at the track. I got to catch up with my track friends. I got to see some BEAUTIFUL cars running around the track making a wonderful noise and filling the air with the sweet aroma of racing exhaust. I was able to experience the LS6 swapped 240Z of a dear friend, and I also got to help diagnose an electrical issue on another friend's track car (It was a two year old battery that was not kept on a trickle charger.) Lest I forget, I got to see Greg Ira charging around the track in a 240Z, mixing it up and holding his own against some impressive V8 beasts. That man knows how to get a car prepared and wheel it around the track. If he's on this forum, SOMEONE please tag him for me. Pictures will be later. I have a few thousand to sort through from today. I did shoot a tiny bit of video, too. I'll ask my friends if they can provide any Youtube links from their cars. Finally, it's a relief to say that Bob Leitzinger (http://www.rrdc.org/member/bob-leitzinger/) is okay after experiencing a terrible shunt at Turn 1. I had just walked up to the fence near Turn 1 when I saw the blur of a car zip by, go through the gravel trap, and head straight into the tire wall. From what I heard later, his 510 had a hung throttle on one of the fastest parts of the track. All he could do was keep the car straight to avoid rolling it. His family said he is being held at the hospital for the weekend for observation. I'm posting the photo only because I know he is doing okay. I hope he buys the fabricator of the roll cage a great dinner as the passenger compartment was completely intact. These guys take quite a risk to entertain us.
  16. Fuel lines!!! Come on, how hard can it be to cobble together a set of test lines????????
  17. Well it took a year but they are done, I took them to a local auto upholstery shop and had them done cause I don't have what it takes. The door cards themselves are a bit wavy but once the arm rest and handles are gone I think they are going to look great.
  18. Very nice. Yeah white is a bear to keep nice. That is original paint or respray? Might be cheaper to go look at this and see how the interior is compared to yours. Sell the rest and keep the best for yourself. https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/ctd/6088203449.html
  19. Welcome to our forum, you'll like it here. Stash that automatic transmission somewhere out of the way, way out of the way, you'll never touch it again. 8^) probably not the 2.4 motor, I like mine's higher stock rpms than a 2.8. Anyway, MORE PICTURES!!!
  20. Yep, looks like a 59'.. wow, haven't seen one of those in a long time. Talk to your instructor and try to do this to it.

    That's the way I'd do it. Pull a bearing cap and look. If the pan looks that clean I'd run with it. The bottom ends are tough! Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club
  22. And to go with the leather door skins, the leather interior just arrived from Interior-innovations. Very nice work,
