engine from the right

engine from the left

I got some pictures, looks like the engine is pretty darn stock.................. And the ride height doesn't look too different to stock either.. definite signs that it used to have a special paint job though...

WOW !! I've never seen that beauty in real life, but man, that would have been a truly amazing sight. Too bad you didn't have a camera huh? I saw a Alfa Montreal once... that's about as good as it has gotten. Gold Coast is a very plasticy, modern city. An old house is one that is over 20 years old...

Well there's no "Civic" or "Riced up econobrick" option there, so I'm putting down Saturn as I think that's the closest thing??? Screw driver, LMAO

That's so relieving to hear you're OK and on your way to a full recovery.

I like how you refer to your other Z as if you still own it ROFL

Mmm... now that you mention it... I can't remember that last time I used my side mirrors! LMAO I still prefer mine :tapemouth :cheeky:

I'm afraid the pictures don't show up over here...

Those guys are great and will refinish your dash for $300-400 AUD, then you have to pay for shipping there and back. Might turn out an expensive excercise so I recommend trying to find someone who does the same thing in the states first. There's bound to be someone! If not... put on your entrepreneur hat

Yeah, the bullet style mirrors are fantastic. So THOSE were the mirrors I saw a few cars at the show with... look pretty decent, but aren't wide enough for my liking personally. Pic of my mirror, apparantly Escort Mk. 2 mirror according to Cuong. I think it's great can't say the same for the quality of the digital camera................................

Wow, this car seems to have certainly been pretty successful in its class, but what/who came 1st??? Still, it all seems a bit much to hail the Samuri as the definitive Z car, since when it comes down to it they were all really "only" tricked up Z's. Like it was mentioned in another thread, int he UK there has always been a stock Z section and a Samuri Z section, but no modified section??? That's absurd. Spike knew how to engineer the car to gain some more horses out of the fantastic L engine, that's for sure! It's just a pity his business ethics weren't as good as his mechanical expertise...

oh goodness. My prayers are out to him. This is terrible news indeed... I've never met him but anyone who is a regular here on the boards still is like family to me. I truly do wish you a speedy recovery...

To quote a certain "Ali G", why dont they just make the gun barrels all too big for the bullets? Or better yet make the bullets too big to fit in the guns!? Sure it's not guns who kill people, it's the "A-holes"... but it astonishes me how many "A-holes" America produces compared to other countries.......... what other country can claim as many school shootings as America? There is some certain factor about the society in America which seems to produce a hell of a lot of A-holes. Surely you cannot argue that? Removing guns from the equation will work, but it's a bit like the road deaths problem with governments trying to implement as many speed cameras as possible to totally eliminate speeding from the equation. No speeding = no deaths. Similar thing with no guns = no deaths... not entirely true is it. I'm sure many of you agree that speeding is NOT the cause of many road-related deaths ...It helps though. Guns are not the cause of murders and very confused teenagers killing others at school... but it helps... I'm not trying to be a part of this argument either, I just thought my speeding/guns analogy was kinda nifty I don't know much when it comes to gun laws and gun-related death numbers etc.

Mmm... he drives it until he gets powerful and then gets that hunk of saleen iron... so he drives it when he a loser... :tapemouth i dont like the looks of where this is heading...

No I dont think it still is at the cinemas... pity as I never got to see it either.

my clock works

It goes to a forum, which has a link to another forum. This forum links back to the first one. This was obviously not meant to be linked by ANOTEHR forum!

There was one for sale in Australia recently - "PhilUK" bought it and is importing it to England! So yeah, it is possible. Oh and check out the yellow car in this gallery: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showgallery.php?thumb=1&stype=2&si=Joe-Z&cat=500&sort=1&ppuser=2466 if you try hard enough, anything will fit...
