Sorry, I love mine so much that I get excited when telling people about how great the are!

I too have TiVo...two of them actually, a 311 hour series 1 unit and a 60 hour series 2 unit in the bedroom for times when what I want and the wife wants conflict (Thursday nights is the perfect example). Both are on my network, the series 1 via a TiVoNet card and hardwired and the series 2 via a wireless USB NIC so neither unit use my phone line both use my broadband connection to download updates. Plus the series 2 has additional features like accessing your MP3 collection or photos from your network so you can listen/view them from the TV (very cool for parties when you wish to show off a slideshow of your daughter's latest pix!). You also do not have to pay monthly as this adds up fast, I have the lifetime service on both units with is the same as the monthly service just a one time fee is the only difference. Cost savings is a breakeven point at about 24 month then after that point you are saving yourself money (I've had my series 1 for three years now and love it). Also on the rating shows and allowing TiVo to automatically record things for you based upon what it thinks you will like...you can turn this feature on or off as you please. Mine is off because I don't want TiVo recording a bunch of stuff and filling up my drive with shows I didn't specifically ask for. Something that has not been mentioned is the season pass feature! This is one of my favorite things as you pick a show you like, say CSI, and get a season pass, make a few settings as desired (i.e. record only first runs, keep all episodes, keep until space needed, etc) and you will never miss another episode of CSI. No more forgetting to set the VCR if you will not be home, no more missing it because you expected to be home but something happened causing you to be late, no more going on vacation and needing more than 6 hours of recording time that a VHS tape allows...man the list goes on and on. It truely is like the commercials say, "It'll change the way you watch TV", and "TV on YOUR schedule". My wife didn't see the point when I came home and told her I was buying one but now she can't stop telling everyone how great it is and how easy to use (she never could program the VCR).

I'll shoot a pic and measure it over the weekend to compare. No mounting hardware at all, just the cover. I'm sure it will be a chore to locate the right pieces to install it now. :disappoin

Yes, I saw it just the other day and hope to see it on my TiVo!! Did you notice that both cars in the garage appeared to be Z cars? I just caught a glimpse but the second looked like a convertable kit Z car.

Don't know what the deal is but this link seems to be dead, I tried earlier today from work and again just now from home and still no workie.

Ok, so this arrived the other day and I'm not sure it's for a 2-seater...I'm thinking it may be for a 2+2 where the hatch area is a bit smaller. Does anyone have good pix of one of these installed? Should the cover come all the way back to the rear of the car or not? Anyone have one that is/was/has ever been installed or one that they are 100% certain is for a 2-seater 240Z mind taking a couple rough measurements for me to compare to mine? Also, there are NO shock cords on this nor hooks to attach it to the hatch. Anyone have good information on these parts? I have reviewed the replies to this thread and also the page on zhome that was linked to (even though that was for a '77 model).

beandip, 21 days since it began is considered an "OLD THREAD"?

None of this appears to matter much any how since he posted the one time and it does not look as though he has ever returned...not even to read the replies. I sent him a PM immediately and still no reply to that either. Too bad...I was ready to buy it from him if he was willing to sell. :/

A couple of you mention to use the stock drums...but what were those, aluminum or steel/cast iron?

You could even find a donor car with a good roof and replace your's if you really wanted to.

I don't need the whole car but I do need that carb setup! :devious:

Hey, I just though about this! Check out my Z car page, there is a collection of info and if you scroll down to the Rotisserie link you will see various Rotisserie plans...it wouldn't take much to modify one of them to an engine stand...in fact I think one of them is made from two engine stands! Here's the link: http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff

Hey, I see that you are on this site too. As I posted to your thread on zdriver.com everything you show in your pix is repairable. You just need a good body man to do it properly...no mounds of bondo!

VERY nicely polished up too...a lot of work went into those.

I can also tell you the best non-eBay location to get a tranny from...ME!! I live in Cedar Park and have a 4-speed in my garage I pulled from a running parts car a couple months ago. Let me know if you want it (shoot me a PM or email). Don't forget to post pix of your new car!! Heck, maybe I'll get to see it in person.

I think that they typically go for about $100 per set of 4.

Here's another thread discussing the same thing. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5210&highlight=engine+stand+bolt+size

:tapemouth :tapemouth :tapemouth

Gary, your link will not work; actually it's not a link but even when copy and pasted it will not work. Here's another thread where some discussion about what diff came in what car has been sumarized. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1568&perpage=15&pagenumber=2

Sounds like what I stated in your other thread. How many places did you post this question? One is enough...

There are more than 4 bolts holding it to the block. I can't remember exactly how many though 6 or 8 as I recall. Are the engine and tranny in the car?

Go to this site and scroll down to rollbars...there are several pix here. http://www.pape.ws/allan_and_rosanne/Z-Car_Stuff/

Glad to see you found the site and got your question posted. I'm sure that there are plenty of people here who know enough about these to answer your question. I don't know who they would be but I know that there are some like Carl Beck who just seem to know a lot of the history and various parts for these cars.

After striking the deal with the seller for the one I am getting the above referenced post was my first stop and I already have DJACY's agreement to shoot me a copy of the installation instructions. I'm two steps ahead of ya.

I knew it! When I was going back through some old eBay auctions last night I saw this one where I didn't win and immediately knew that it was you who did win. *DRAT* Congrats on the win! A great item at a great price. I did ask the seller previously and he had no others.
