Ha... bullsh*t...chew:tapemouth Vicky

I know here in Florida that people under 25 get boned for insurance premiums, add a sports car and a male driver and it's even worse. Once you turn 26 and your driving record is clean, the rates drop dramatically. Vicky

Summit has a "Cheater System" that has 4 hp levels controlled by flare jets, from 150 to 250 hp. I like the "Fogger" system myself. But IMO NOS is fake hp. A true beef engine is built from the inside out with no buttons to push later to give you boost. I'm sure this will anger a few of you guys so I will run for cover nowLOL Vicky

I've always wondered about the structure on the convertable Z's. Since the car is a unibody, doesn't hacking off the roof make the car some what weaker body wise? That convertable kind of looks like a 70's Fiat Spider... sort of. Vicky

We always run Premium Unleaded in our Z cars. If you can get away with regular unleaded then do it, what with the price of gas nowadays:tapemouth After a running through a few tanks of gas we throw in injector or carb cleaner, but thats it. I don't know what the "valve" thing would be. Vicky

Did you run over a pothole? Maybe a loose connection to the clock. If it stops working again, try a pothole. Would be cheaper than a mechanic. Scott:stupid: :stupid:

Our valve cover is chrome, no signs of peeling anywhere. Polished stainless is the way to go for things, radiator cover, a/c thingy, battery box and hiding the uglys under the hood. Billet is awesome too, like for the pulleys and such. Coolflex hosing is also a nice touch. What's not chromed, billet or stainless under our Z's hood is painted............red!!! Vicky

I know the 1980 ZX Anniversary Edition came in black and gold and I believe they offered a rare red and black/silver?. I bet that car had red seat belts. But do I want a ZX part in my Z? (just kidding). I think I will settle for the dye option. Thanks for all the replys guys Vicky

Gav Is the car slightly modified? If so, go with your Sparco's. If the car is stock then puffin' up the stock seats. We did it in the red Z and we don't slide around, have lots of support and they still have the stockish look. We just (obviously) modified the colors. Just my .02 cents Vicky

Hi Chris! That's how faded our seat-belts are, they're gray which actually matches the dash and the other grays in the car. I really think red would look nice or maybe even a wine color to match the carpet. Scott will have the final say..........his car...........his "other woman"LOL Vicky

mperdue Please tell me that's not you or any of your relatives in your avatar! :tapemouth Vicky

Hi guys I need to replace the gray seat-belts in the '77 280Z. Of course they MUST be red! Did Datsun ever have red seat-belts in any of their early Z's. If not, do you think that dyeing is an option? If they are available should I give Mid-West Z a call? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated:classic: Vicky

The '77 280Z has "Z Rush" and the '72 240Z has "Itsa 72Z". I wanted "InZane" for the red Z but the State of Florida has cracked down on what they deem as offensive plates.....wha??? Some other cool plates... Wa Wa Zit - I saw this on a Z06 Corvette X TA Z - Was on a Z28 Camaro Fazt Z Zweet Zpeed Just about anything that has an "S" you can use for a "Z" Vicky

Me too Stephen. My friends and I were younger and stupider also, plus they were trying to be cool and show how they could shift without the clutch depressed. This was way back in the 70's. Vicky

What is the GTO body kit? Is it fiberglass? Most insurance companys jack up the price on a glass car no matter who you go with. Got any pictures of your Z Tomohawk? Vicky

You forgot air-conditioned and carpeted floors Vicky

Yes, I know about the push start with a manual car. But I'm confused on the "Clutch Disengage". Is that like what some of my friends used to do when they shifted the car without pushing the clutch in? Vicky

Hagerty is cheap because they are a "Specialty" insurance comapny. They assume that people with show/rare/high-end exotics don't drive their autos in the same manner as they would their everyday beater. People with these type of vehicles tend to be more cautious when driving, making extra sure nothing happens to their car. Vicky

Anyone who's been in the service is eligable for coverage from USAA. Our 2 Z's and car hauler are covered through Hagerty. My 4-Runner is with USAA (Dad was in the Air Force). The 454 Dually and Scott's S-10 are with Geico. All I do is work to pay car insurance Vicky

I have in many a manual cars :stupid: It just lurches forward. But I don't think the car would ever actually start..........would it? I've never got that far, as I've always freaked out and said to myself, what an azz I amLOL Vicky

Now that's to much IMO. The car needs to be a little more correct to even start at that price. It's a very nice Z but $9,000, I think not. We'll have to see what he finally gets. Maybe he is starting high (to say the least) so he can accept a lower bid:cross-eye Vicky

We have the G-Tech mounted on the dash. That thing is awesome! (Got Mr. K's signature on the outside of the glove-box....in red!) Vicky

........and those would be some nice headlights flopping around in the breezeLOL (sorry, I just had to say that) Vicky

MSA is "People's Choice" no points are given, just a good, fun all 'round show. The Z Car Convention is a points show and is actually quite serious as far as the records/rules of the ZCCA. Vicky
