I grew up and drove Z's in Minnesota. Believe me, they just haven't gotten to you yet. I think I was pulled over 10 times in my Z...

Not Datsun but pretty cool. A Japanese movie poster for the movie Grand Prix!

This is a pretty cool picture from the pits...

Another Lietzinger car...

Meanwhile, somewhere in Florida in the 1970's...

I bought an '84 new. Like the Idaho Kid said, all RPM no torque. Good car. I could drive the snot out of it on the track and autocross course. About equal to my Z of the time and if I recall correctly, in the same class. The design looks a little dated now to me, although I thought it was sexy as hell when I bought it. I had a GSL-SE with the rear discs and no sunroof. I think it ended up a Spec-7 car...

GT-Rrrrrrrr! Not vintage but very drool-worthy...

I'm getting pretty excited about the new developments Keith Franck has made in redesigning the tubes and jetting for the side-draft. It is apparently so good he is planning on patenting the design. So good, he can no longer publish the White Paper he had been just about to publish... So much progress it outdated everything he had to say! Carb Clinic will be fun this year!

Replating will not work unless you can figure a way to deal with the pits the rust left in the metal. Check the bores too. Rust could have pitted these as well. Rock Auto is a source but I just saw one single piston on eBay the other day.

Steve, You could put an internal baffle in to 'slant' the thing front to back to gain the Bernoulli effect. That is the reason the TWM model slants front to back, it speeds up the air to the rear. Also I agree with Leon, no good reason to shorten the air horns.

I agree with John and his example about Hoosiers is spot on. In general, they're wider than just about anything else size for size.

Mark is up for it... I have had perhaps a dozen different events at Mark's shop. We are good friends. Yes, I'm thinking March or April. After the rain but before it's too hot.

Not yet but if you have any ideas, I'm open to them. Actually, the way Keith has been experimenting lately, we will have some new things to try ourselves!

They're aluminum. They will polish just like wheels...

Specifically, he needs one left caliper...

I just bought an L28ET for $125.00 P90/F54 with crosshatch still visible in the bores.

Help! Eric needs core calipers... Orders are starting to roll in for caliper restorations and he needs spares to keep things moving. Watcha got and how much ya want?

Candlestick 2001, Scott Fraser driving. Is this the car Vic Sias won SII Nats in?

I'm not sure why anyone should be concerned about powder coating temperature with aluminum sill plates. 400 degrees F is less than 1/3rd the melting temperature of aluminum. Yes you can powder coat in clear and a chrome look powder.

Hand wraps!

80 looks fast!

tlorber, I'm thinking of doing this in my Z. The Porsche is a bit too unruly for 1000 miles of civilization. Do both the driver and codriver need to register?

Sounds like you'll be busy taking pictures of your own... Congratulations!

Now come on out and do the Targa California with me. 1000 miles in three days!

Steve Parmley just posted this on his Facebook page. I think it is the coolest BSR pic I have ever seen!
