  1. JC,you're missing a "cubic inch".

    This means that you're saying every Z car had this issue.

    Everything is new.seals,gaskets etc.Here is the bizarre part-I have a fuel cell where the spare tire should be.Cells are vented to atmosphere.I used to get a raw fuel odor in the car because the vent line just ran down the side of the tank.But since i extended the vent line just below the rear valance,the fuel odor went away.

    Tail pipe length is not the answer.Your problem is somewhere else.My tip is flush with the vertical plane of the bumper and wether the windows are up or down,i have no exhaust in the cabin issues.
  5. There are still Zs out here(Az)but everything else is rapidly dis-appearing. Weasel-you are correct about"Gen-Xers".
  6. Wikipedia also says Aruba is in North America.No-one born in the 60's is a"Gen-Xer".
  7. Ahhh,nope.Early HEMI Cudas(pre-70)are virtually non-existant and are not bringing the big bucks unless the car has history.1st gen HEMI Chargers are the least desirable HEMI car(if there is such a thing)going. The Superbird was a 1970 model.Charger Daytona was a 69.1970 was the first year for the Challenger. This is getting semantical as there really wasn't enough time difference to make two schits anyways
  8. The exemption is for TESTING only.NO emissions equiptment may be removed from ANY vehicle. And people ask why i left that Gestapo run state.
  9. Ahhh,Nope.The 510 actually preceded the big $ HEMIs.The 240Z arrived concurrent with the HEMI 'Cudas/Challengers,Birds/Chargers etc. I grew up on all of them.And trust me,i am not a GEN-Xer.:laugh:
  10. You don't ski-you toboggan:stupid:
  11. Defenseman.Almost made the New Haven Nighthawks back in the day. Puck?What's a puck?Oh,that little black thing.I thought i was here just to hit people.

  13. American Collector Car insurance from N.J..$20,000 agreed value for $300.00 a year.
  14. A smaller bore will INCREASE the pressure to the shoes,thus decreasing the amount of pedal pressure needed.
  15. here's another one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160201713982&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:MOTORS:1123
  16. Don't forget the return line!!!!
  17. Roundy-as other have mentioned or alluded to the biggest part of a good paint job is the prep work.Good bodymen aren't always good painters.Point being-if you give MAACO,Sheib,1 Day a good"canvas" to start with,you can get good work from them.I've seen(stereo) typical MAACO paint jobs and i've seen some that MAACO would have been my last guess as to who squirted the car.
  18. That's a polite way of putting it.:ermm:at least it's a reliable platform for their.....ahhhh..."kit car".
  19. The Eastwood stuff is a good product.As long as you're not running lean,it'll stay on & look good for quite a bit.
  20. My friends 70 Charger is getting sprayed this week.$1700.00 is materials ALONE.
  21. Johnny-you are correct.I should have used the phrase "properly built".I didn't think people here were that obtuse.Nor did i think anyone in their right mind would consider a worn out motor vs a new built a valid comparison.:stupid:I stand corrected.
  22. O.K.Will,let me rephrase:My original post is valid and 100% accurate.A PROPERLY built N/A 2.8 motor will NOT surpass a PROPERLY built L-24 turbo motor.PERIOD.NOway,NO how. BTW-who's angry?I'm just annoyed that people post stupid stufff on the board where others are trying to learn.
  23. 1)Wrong-Factory block,factory head-not O-ringed.Nothing special-just attention to detail. So your're comparing a good L-28 with a poor state-of-tune,needs work L-24?How about apple to apples?Putting a turbo on a un-touched milaged motor of ANY make is asking for a grenade. 2)No,you can not prove that wrong.Again a properly tuned L-28 against a poorly tuned L-24.Compare good to good.Not good to bad. No-one in their right mind compares worn-out motors with fresh built ones. It is apparent that not too many folks here know what is required to properly build a turbo motor. From a ground up build,a N/A 2.8 will NOT touch a L-24 turbo in HP. S30Zt-has that set-up been run yet?
