The problem was that the only definitions available were on the Urban Dictionary website, which uses urban slang to define everything, so it doesn't make sense at all. But it seems that the term is based solely on looks, which is a subjective thing.

If it comes out nicely, I'll try to take some photos. Be patient; school is tarting again.

The distributor gets the vacuum through the throttle as I had stated.

OJ, if I get some photos, I may post them. Will- the motor is BLACK.

Thanks. People like to see the original documents or publications on display, so that is my goal.

Will- You could always paint wires and things on the plastic covers. How about transparent covers? I still like the older vehicles that were so pleasingly designed so that it looked nice even with the wires and parts (coil, carb/chokes, heat ducting, coolant hoses) all over. Some were more like "art" than a machine. IMO, the covers are there to make the engine more politically-correct, so people in suits or women don't need to touch anything dirty. The engineers put them on so mechanics charge you for the extra time it takes to remove and replace them. With the exception of a few that cover electrical items, belts and pulleys (the dangerous parts) they just keep the dirt and heat trapped close to the engine and discolor, making you want to buy a new vehicle that much sooner. I haven't seen many plastic covers that couldn't be thrown away without changing the operation of the engine.

Can you explain what you mean by that?

I'm for keeping the look, and texture about the same throughout the engine area, with certain exceptions. Things that are sand cast, like the intake and exhaust manifolds cannot be polished, but you can smooth them out to a point. It allows water to drain, so you have less to clean for show. Things that can be polished like crazy, such as the rocker box, AAV, carbs, tubes, etc., get more hand-work and possibly some shiny plating. Rubber should be supple-looking, like when it was new.As for the billet parts- I usually only add them as required to replace parts that are worn out or 'broken' but would keep with the texture an sheen of the surrounding or similar OEM parts. That is, except for the occasional 'decoration' which might be very shiny or have some color to it ( like a red radiator cap or spark plug wires.) But I would like to see something (not everything ) with a Z emblem or just some nicely printed letters ("Stant: 15 - 18 PSI" or the ubiquitous "Danger: fan" decal on the fan shroud.) As for the motor, it is painted black as it was from the factory.

The orange one looks somewhat clean and neat. there are some simple things that could have been done to improve the look significantly. I can't see any details on the other one, because all I see are two giant head covers.

At this time, I haven't been able to find anything on this specific topic on the Internet, or any reference to anything in print. I wil conclude that there aren't any articles available.

So far, the removal of the BCDD hasn't affected the engine's operation in any bad way. We still need to check how the vacuum advance is working, as it gets the vacuum through the BCDD. Otherwise, there aren't any vacuum leaks.

I was ble to find a cargo net of 30 x 40 inch size with heavy plastic hooks on the corners on eBay. After mounting the VW net rings to the deck of my car, we will find out how that idea works out. I also got a smaller cargo net from a Ford Explorer from the JY.

I got one from Jim (zKars) and after painting it with Duplicolor Chrome, it looks nice and is mounted in the car.

I know the key number is on the glovebox door, but I have to wait for Monday to see what else is there.

the thermotime switch closes the circuit to the cold start inject for those few seconds, allowing fuel to pray into the intake manifold. the fuel pump is operated by the starter relay systems an fuel pump relay.

I ended up buying new horns to get that European/Italian sound. My car sounds less like an old Mercury now

Since that's not an appropriate engine for any stock Z car, it's difficult for people with the stock engine (or most people following this topic) to see your point. I realize that it's quite possible to write a book on this topic, but it's not uncommon to start with some general guidelines. Please reiterate your idea without the use of photographs, unless your photo is a detail of something very specific. Larger, quaity photographs would be nice too.

Would it be a big Faux pas to even have a tire pressure decal on the S30?

That item in #5 is "for off road use only." I don't know of many Z cars that are use for field-bombing... In any case, I like the tapered style filter, for hood clearance purposes. Unfortunately, none of the U.S. manufacturers have the ones we need for the cam box vents.

there you go... That's what we'd all like to see Please elaborate on what "clean and detailed" means.

OK, so what is your opinion on those things? What would it take to negate Zness?

In the Poll, none of those things (rims, tires, stance, gauges, steering wheel muffler tip, etc,) were choices to vote on for this poll. You are welcome to make general comments regarding those things or to start another topic to discuss those things.

I just pstedthe ID number in the search box: akqw32y9WDE and you get the correct link to the video

I once got to the center of a Tootsie Pop in 8 licks.

You guys... Comments like these past few should be shared via PM, instead of in the open... Remember, potentially every person on Earth with a computer/Internet could be reading everything the comments on this website.
