Wait, I change my guess to 16,000. minus 1,500 for the auto.

This car seems very nice and the price is fair so far. There is some sagging in the door panels, but the engine bay is very accurate so nice and clean. I wonder what this car will end up selling for? Any guesses? I guess 17,500. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2480236974&rd=1

I read that article as well. I subcribe to SPI and I think it is a great magazine. No minivan and truck reviews. I also subscribe to Car and Driver, and that is an informative and interesting publication as well, but the cars are not always as interesting. The picture of the orange 240z in this issue is a great shot, but I did not know that it was a photo taken by Nissan.

Thanks a lot Carl. The connection on the battery on the negative side is not great, so I am going to clean the terminals and then tighteten the bolts on the battery cables. I will keep everyone posted. P.S. I am really interested in the dipstick Carl. Thanks Ben

The lights, clock and radio work fine. The amp meter reads straight down the middle.

Oh man, I went to go start my car today and the starter turned very slow and then I attempted to start it again and the starter stopped and now when I turn the key to "start" the starter does not make any sound at all. The only thing I hear is the relay under the dash. I have been reading up on the fusible link, the solenoid, and the starter. And I am not sure which one it could be. I don't have my service manual so I am really hindered. I have an early 1974 260z. Any help on this would be great as I am trying not to spend a lot of money. Where should I look for a new starter if that is the case? p.s. When I was looking around in the engine bay I noticed that I am missing the dipstick. I know that I didn't forget to put it in 2 tanks ago. What could this be from? Do they jump out? Ben:cry:

the BRE replica is coming together. This looks great. -
http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=88767#post88767 According to this thread, it sounds like the 4 barrel carb is inferior to the su's. I have only heard praises about the su's and considering that one of the members here has a Rebello 3ltr that has twin su's and has an output of 285hp speaks for itself. -Ben

I fed a horse!!!

That is a great shot Chris and a great looking land rover. It looks like you are ready for that African Safari. -
That is really cool that you got a picture of the Coyote. It must have been 5 feet in front of the car. When it walked by it looked at us while just trotting along as nothing was going on. I feel very fortunate to have seen this animal. -
Thanks for the compliments. You two both have very nice cars. Maybe someday I can see your GTR replica Lachlan. Australia is on my places to visit one day. Marc, you have the cleanest and all original 280z I have ever seen. I was in awe when you lifted the hood. Everything was oem and spotless. -
Hey Marc, that is David (Dreco). You sure got some great shots. Now all we need is for David to post the video footage that he took. -
This is a great shot that your gf took Marc. -
Hey, we know what a TVR is. I may have only seen a few in my life, but I have driven a speed 6, a griffith, and a speed 12 on Gran Turismo 3. Okay, I was lame...

Hey Guus, Yeah, I had a great time on this drive. On the drive down I was in the lead, and right as I turned a corner a coyote walked right in front of my car. We all slowed down to watch it go by. I have never seen a coyote that close before because he must have been no more than 10 feet from us. This was San Jose Alps tour. -

From the album: Meet pictures
These pictures were taken in front of the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. The drive up Mt. Hamilton was great. The far left car belongs to Marc (280z), the middle belongs to David (Dreco), and the far right is yours truely. Hopefully more people in northern California and in the bay area will be interested in coming along for these meets. Don't be shy, we are all a nice bunch and are willing to site see a little and talk about Z's. -

Here are the big brakes...

I saw a Zed with Porsche Brembo brakes at last years MSA show and he said they cost 10k, but it was the best investment he made because the car would stop in any conditions with no fade. It looked pretty cool with porsche on the brakes behind the panasport wheel. Ben
