If you will send me the same money(including shipping), I will send you the same 25 cent resistor that he calls a performance chip, several higher powered fans, enough PVC pipe to plumb an entire bathroom, and as an aadded bonus I will also upgrade the handling in your car in a similar fashon as the kit he sells by including these: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=10657&cat=500&ppuser=4106 at No charge. For the same money as his power upgrades, I will rip you off and include some suspension pieces that Are in such great demand that I can't even give them away! Keep your money for something that will actually help your car, and not simply drain your wallet! Nitrous works on a switch... Will

Add Bills' hat and you've got something.... I'm not sure what, ...but something.... Will

Wash the car thouroghly, and rinse it in the shade. start with 1200 grit for "bad" orange peel. move to 2400 grit or start with it for "noticeable" orange peel. Get a good quality paper-I use Mcguires, and a foam backer. Use a cup with a pin hole near the bottom. Mix a few drops of liquid detergent with the water-a garden hose is NOT reccommended, (if you mustuse one, wash the last 10 feet and cut off the end) The soap will help keep the paint sandings out of the paper, and out of the newly roughened paint. Use a good antiswirl compound for buffing-again, I use Mcguires. There is absolutely no substitute for a 100% lambswool polishing bonnet-it is all I would use for buffing out a car. Will

Is it a show car, a pile of accumulated parts, a rolling rust bucket, or something in between? Tell us about it! Will

Bill, I was just recalling the problem you had just after you joined the board-right before your Duck Trading incident! Bills' place is just a bit beyond the back of burke outside of the territory! Daddz, I resemble that remark-Gotta get'em while the gettin's good! SpeedyBlue, Me too, In my young and stupid days, I drove a car to the parts house to get some lugnuts(now I know I was the lugnut) with two lugs on each wheel. Will

Try the dealer, if your local one has old stock they will match, otherwise, they will be more silver than golden. Will

Yuppie as I define it...while in the throws of diaper duty and potty training: An adult-sized typical two year old. Characterized by: Money is of no consequence. I want it(what ever "it" is) now no matter what it takes or who I have to dump my diaper on to get it. Someone always has to clean up after me because cleaning is not what I want to do. When the next "it" comes along, the last one is cleaned up by someone else with the next mess.

As Mike asked, please post pictures for those of us that can't be there!!! Will

The only part of large vehicle ownership I criticize is the lack of responsibility some large vehicle owners exhibit: 1) Trips with only one adult, no luggage, no towing, and no need for cargo space-that is purely an irresponsible waste of gas-you can call me a tree hugger. I normally use my SRL311 for the daily single occupant trips, and use the Dodge when I need the room for people, stuf, or a combination of the two. Sure the Truck is more comfortable, but the roadster is far more miserly, fun, easier to park, and smile inspiring to those I share the road with. If your driving needs don't justify a large vehicle for a specific trip, leave it at home. 2) The thought that a large vehicle is safe and comfortable in any driving conditions, so learning to control the beast and using good judgement on when to stay off the road is not important. To many people in my section of roadway ignore the fact that they have a responsibility to the other drivers on the road, and have no clue how to manouver a large vehicle with enough power and mass to squish a Z or a roadster and kill the occupants. A car is like any other dangerous thing you can own, you have responsibility for what you let (or direct) it to do. Just because an ad shows a particular vehicle handling torrential wind and rain does not mean the vehicle will be safe and comfortable in dealing with what the wind picks up, and where the water pools. Soma on wheels... Ok, I'll pass the soap box...sorry about the tirade-yesterday...nuf said. Will

Yep, that's the one, a 2003 Dodge Quad Cab-I am in the process of putting my roadster back to roadworthy-dropped a valev, and the head spent 2 months at the machine shop-don't ask... Will

Cosmoline on the exterior ferrous parts, a thin oil inside, Crate it throw some dessicant pouches in the crate and Shrink wrap/seal the box and put it in climate controlled storage. Will

When gas went up again recently, I did some research, and found a gas additive that actually gives me 20% better mileage in my quad cab Dodge truck, it saves me 20%, meaning effectively, every fifth tank is free. Gas is so high that I am considering putting a deisel engine in my roadster when the time for updating comes around. I don't like to gripe about things, I prefer to do something about them-the price of gas is out of my hands, but enhancing combustions is not. Will

That is exactly what I mean! Even though I took a call in the middle of posting the poll, and obviously got off track(time to motivation-what a call) Will

How far in advance of need do you buy parts. If you did something out of the ordinary post what it was and why.

You guys crack me up-everybody knows a basement is just a big crawl space! Will

Sounds pretty rough to have no rust and be straight. I would get under it, and really probe for rust and filler, but if it truely has NO Rust, and it was close, I would take $800 cash and wave it in the face of the owner-starting with $400! Will

Lost that job, didn't ya Rick! Will

I have a couple of sets of used ones if you get in a pinch... Will

The only bolts not included in the stainless kits are specific to the suspension. Will

Nor should you! "That looks marvelous" to quote Billy Crystal. If mine looked that good, I don't think the hood would make it back on! Will

Look at our Member, Ed. He has outlined exaclty what he did, and why in his posts and gallery. While his car is a later 240Z, the work will be close enough to interpolate! Will

He misspelled the cars title. It was: "Rolling Blunder" Will

What they said, spend the money on trying platinum splitfires, but know that you will be better off with standard plugs from NGK. The NGK wires are good, but the Magnacore wires are outstanding(you absolutely get what you pay for) Will
