Sure do. I had Grundy at first, but Hagerty has less restrictions on when and where you can drive and they have a fairly decent towing option at various prices. I find them far more reasonable than Grundy, prices are better, and you can still come to an agreed to price in the event of the loss of vehicle. I was able to name my own price of 18000 for my Z. Naturally the more you insure it for the more it costs, but we are talking a couple hundred for the year. Your price may vary. Its hard to say how good they really are as I have never needed them. Thats the real proof, but the policies offered are better as far as I could tell.

its on page 18 and has a 1970 240Z price range at 8900 - 36400 dollars. There is also a pic of a 70 240Z that is silver with a black top and a thin red paint stripe on it. Very nice. You guys should check it out.

does anybody need one of these. Apparently when I was put on the waiting list for one of these for MSA, it meant that the second they get one they do not email me, the send it and bill me. Well as you all know my front end conversion is done, and I no longer need a genuine nissan lower left front valance. Does anybody need this. I will post pictures later, but this is a brand new nissan part painted black. Just make me any offer.

Wow, just want to think that 165 mph sounds 'optimistic'

I have tokico shocks and springs (non adjustable shocks, not illuminas) and I am very happy with the ride quality and height. Its soft enough to be an enjoyable cruise around town, yet is very responsive to all steering inputs. I still need to push it hard on some kind of performance driving environment (autocross, track day) to see its real limits, but right now the short card in my car is the ancient Yoko A509's.

Let me ask you guys something. I have loved the looks of these mirrors and toyed with getting a set. However, it became apparent to me that anytime you lean over to work on your car, this mirror will be poking you in the belly each and every time. You run the risk of bending the sheet metal and severely limiting your access to the engine. How do you get around it.

I agree, do not underestimate the value of these cars. Most people know that swapping a desirable 4spd or 5spd is easy and well worth it when the body in such great shape. I was at a Z show here in Texas and when asked how much I would take for my car, I joking said not a dime less than 15000. He took out a checkbook and said, "who do I make it out to". I had to do some serious back talking as my car is not for sale. The gentlemen looked a tad 'put out'. But to get that kind of response was encouraging that keeping my baby mostly stock and caring for it may have been the right choice. I am not sure how much it would take to get me to part with my car. Never really considered it for sale.

I just spent 30 minutes installing my Headlight Harness I promptly received from Mr. Zs. Even though its been said before, I want to say what an out standing product this was. To make something seamlessly integrate into a 37 year old car is nothing short of amazing. This product surpassed my expectations and I could easily see it lasting another 37 years. Every detail about this product shows the time and dedication of the maker. I have done electrical work on cars and its painfully obvious when something was rushed. I cannot even imagine how many hours these things take to make but again. Its a part you can be proud of. THe instructions were complete, and self explanatory. The harness fit as described. Results. I was only purchasing this harness as I wanted to install some H4 style bulbs. Not some 100 watt madness, just something to help me see a tad better at night. I have not installed my new headlights, but initial impressions are that the cars lights are significantly brighter. But thats only half the story. If that is all this harness did, I would be happy. But I can honestly say, that my interior lights are 3x brighter. I am floored. I can see them light up in the day time. Needless to say I am happy! Great product, great results.

on yeah, on a normally aspirated engine, the Head is WHERE you make most of you HP. Combined with a CAM, you can totally change the personality of your car. But we would need to know which head, and your budget and on what car and your goals.

That is just simply magnificent. Its the one big project for my Z I need to do. The engine bay refresh will be the last mountain I have to climb.

Your car is possessed!!!!!!

please post pictures when you get them on. I love the rewinds in that gunmetal look.

I nearly pee'd my pants when I read that!

I sort of agree. Why put money into something you are going to swap out anyway. You say you like the sound of the straight 6. Put the money you would have put in the 8 and put it into great parts for the 6. Sure the 8 may be faster, but the total driving pleasure of keeping the car true to its roots far outweighs that. Besides, a hot L26 is FAR more rare than a V8 swapped car.

What wheels are on your friends red car Arne?

shkaow, skang.. AWESOMEness right there.

Warren, they look stellar... very nice job! I read your post on how you got the different sized front and rear. I think I like the rear more.

You go man, I am 100% in support of you!

Warren, are those Rota RB-R's

You sir are an artist. Beautiful work.. You have inspired me to tackle the detailing of my engine. I cannot wait to start

Its a little ways off. Need to save up for wheels and tires. There is nothing wrong with what I have right now. Just need to let it gel a while. I will probably do some gunmetal with a polished lip when the time comes... more conservative, or just leave it the heck alone and just get tires... thanks for all the advice.

five and dime, Are those 15" or 16" panasports on your two 240's

Guys, I am coming from the world of Subaru WRX STI's. Gold to me is a performance rally color. I do like gunmetal as well.. but when I say gold I am thinking of something matt, and not bling shiney chrome. Gunmetal would work quite well too.. HAHA, bored, no, but I am having a hell of a time finding respectable street/autocross tires in 15" rim sizes. I know if I were to get 16" rims, I can get more choices in decent rubber. So the search for rims started!

I have strongly been thinking of picking up another set of panasports for my daily street driving and using my current set for autocross. I have always love the look of the gold panasports... Do you guys think I can pull that off?

Have a great time, and yes, by all means more pictures...
