Zvoiture

Yes, I've been watching SPEED again. steve77

If I were bragging, I would have told you what it was!!:classic: Actually, I think I may have conveyed the wrong idea on the value. I didn't mean I could have bought one or two NEW z's with the money (as in 350z's)!!! I meant one or two 240's that are new TO ME and I have had my eye on. We're not talking $60,000!!! We are talking $1500 or so. Sorry for the 'fusion... steve77

I love the G-nose, but had to vote with the catch-all: "some sort of spoiler". I really dislike the look of about 99% of the Z's I see with the BRE spook or other simple spoiler. I personally like the open front/big air dam/maybe urethane 'street sweeper' on the lower lip/wrapped around into boxed-out fenders or at least serious flares. All this with or without early bumpers--usually without. steve77

Well, not exactly...but have you ever received a reasonably thoughtful and very expensive gift that you just really don't need? Happened to me this year. Bottom line and necessary Z content: I could have easilly bought a new Z or two with the money. steve77

It is pretty well known around here I am a fan of FI. I have collected a bunch of info and photos and will put some of them together in a project motor in the near future. But be forewarned: I hope you are not afraid of being called unflattering things. Everybody will say you are stupid or wasting your time and "why bother?" and "That's a dumb idea." and "Just put carbs on it...it's easier that way..." or "carbs give you plenty of power...why mess with it?" or: "If you spent half the time you spend researching FI on learning how to tune carbs, you wouldn't be asking these stupid questions." or, my favorite: "You're a stupid idiot! You just need to put a V-8 in it!" then there's always: "Fu-el in-jec-shun? I'm gonna kick your arse!" FI is IT, baby. steve77

I don't understand...the picture still shows in the post. How can the link be invalid? I just went there and it is still there. I don't know how to 'attach' an image other than pulling it from a 'host' and placing it here. I'm dumb! Hearst Castle Z's steve77

Thanks, TIM240z! steve77

Exactly, and I have read of those models too...The Honda Civic used to (not sure if it still does) come in a HX trim for 2-door only. It had the higher output engine of the top model (LX or EX?), came in 5-speed only and had crank windows, no sunroof, no A/C, junk stereo, no frills at all inside and had great alloys. steve77

That would be 'Not if my life depended on it'! steve77

Gawd we need a new poll!!! This is a re-hash, but what the hell...everyone's seen them now and opinions are changing (caution: They will grow on you!!!) steve

If Italian beer is anything like Italian wine, I'll pass. Are there any Flemish promos? steve77

Fred...if your toes are gay, then you know the difference between a 'mule' and a 'slingback'. Right???? steve77

So... what does it say when you get a 6% or a 20%? My 56% said I was a "...well-adjusted hetero male." Spot-on, I'd say. steve77

I don't know! I DO NOT have lucky underwear!! steve77

Take the gay-O-meter test! Channel 4 I'm 56%. Kinda low, I thought.... steve77

If you scroll back a bit, I wrote in this thread, "...350Z: This will be the most interesting chapter of my reasearch...." in April 2002. Well, It is now December, and so far, my experience with 350 drivers has been very favorable. So far 100% have given me a POSITIVE affirmation of my existence while in my Z. I think with the retro ad campaign and all, they are more aware than 3rd and 4th gen's put together. Hope it doesn't change... steve77

Runs a little rough un der 5000.... steve77

Does a 260 have a P30? steve77

It's # 1 of 7 created especially for a show circuit of racing. Promo models. steve77

7000 RPM??? Wow. What are we looking for, Alan? You can not go around using verbiage like 'deliberate anomaly'. Some of us in Pigsuckle can't get a grip on it. Did you mean 'translationary mis-application' or is there an actual mistake in there? steve77

>>>>>my DATSUN 260 Z. You're getting warm... steve77

QUICK! Name these models. Subtract 20 points for consulting the VB catalogue and subtract 30 points for checking with ZHOME. Just driving down the road, minding my own business and saw these crumpled heaps of gorgeous Z metal in a vacant lot. Pulled in and snooped around and whipped out my trusty Makita and lifted some tags. I will give them a decent burial. steve77

Buy yourself a can of Acetone, a tube of plastic epoxy and a can of Krylon Vinyl Refinishing Spray (in black, I assume). Then take out and strip your console, empty all those roaches out of the ash tray, wipe it down with the acetone, epoxy all the cracks (and build them up real big on the backside), and spray the whole thing with one coat (YES! One coat!) of the vinyl paint. You won't effen believe the results. Then put something improtant on your christmas list, like a GPS or a subscription to GRM or new bushings or Driving School tuition. steve77

Storm...maybe I should pay closer attention, but you are from Texas and have a 280? Which means you probably have a US market 280...? and you need a G-nose to "...complete your car..."????? I don't 'get' it. steve77
