    What condition are you looking for? Something that runs, needs a little TLC? Or a project, trailer it to your garage and get to work?

    I wonder if Jean Todt is aware of this gaffe. He's working with Ferrari Formula one now (and doing pretty good).

    What about using some spray on stuff? Like Rhino-lining or Line-X? It would fill all those little nook's and cranny's that moisture likes so much.
  6. You are correct. The only way to adjust the T/C is by shims and washers at the pocket. If you don't want to remove the rod then use some "U" shaped shims on the front end of the bushings to "push" the control arm forward. To move the rod back you have to remove the shims. If there are no shims or extra washers at the front end of the bushings then you can't adjust the rod. Now you can spend some money and make your own adjustable T/C rods. You can either take the old T/C rod and have the threads cut down the rod about another 3-4 inches. Then you could use a nut to make the adjustments. I've seen some pics in the gallery of these. I'll try and find some....

    Are you talking about the seam that is above the 1/4 window?

    I've never really cared for a convertible Z. It alters the flowing lines of the body. The Z is a car with a hatch back, not a trunk (boot for you foreigners). Buy an Alfa Romeo! Or a Fiat! Or a MG! Or a Triumph! I've never seen a convertible that was done properly. Like the name implies convert-ible, having a top that may be lowered or removed. You should have a top. Not like those cars where they chop it up into a rolling bathtub. :mad:
  10. The T/C rod (tension/compresion) is adjustable. The amount of adjustment is very limited though, your talking about maybe 1 inch. The tie-rod is part of your steering. As far as bending things back into shape $ talks. And with enough $ you could pretty much do anything. Like mentioned earlier take the wheel off and inspect, compare the drivers side to the passenger side. If you wheel is off by 3 inches then the damage should be obvious. Take a picture for us and we will tryto get you going in the right direction. Good luck and Don't Drive your car until you get this fixed!

    Jason, I would think you would find a better deal and a car in better condition in California, since you mentioned your going there.

    I was considering using a regular type paint, Rustoleum, Krylon or something like that but, If it started to flake after a couple of weeks because of the heat I think I would be mad. I hate to do a job twice. So I'm looking into the high-temp paint that's available. So far I've only found black and silver. I wanted blue.

    Has anyone painted their brake calipers?

    There is a member here that installed a Subaru power steering unit in his Z. I can't remember his name, he's from Australia I believe and has a highly modified yellow Zed. Someone help me.

    the tools you see on prime time tv. Like "Wildest Police Video's" or "Worlds Worst Drivers" and "Real TV". Unscripted and real. The guy driving the tank through San Diego, or the guy that steels a bus in Los Angeles. All tools:stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

    Could you guys also tell us what the difference is between a cooler or hotter plug and what applications they have.

    Don't know if any of you have checked out the MSA website lately but I just noticed that they are offering the clear turn signals again. I wonder how long they will last?
  21. It really depends on how bad the rust is. If you can load some pictures we could help you make a decision. Welding in a patch would be the best way to go if the rust is in small areas. But if the entire floor is shot then replacing the entire floor board may be your only option. They are available at Motor Sports Auto (MSA) . Maybe a Zed owner in California could refer you to a body shop that has done it. If not, find a body shop that has experience with body pannel replacement. Good luck.
