240ZX

There's always a number of variables to be concidered! Are you using the stock set-up, are you using coilovers, are the struts modified (shortened), are you using adjustable camber/caster plates........etc., etc.. What's your set-up darsunfreak?

Here's my set-up.......................215-40 x 17 front & 235-40 x 17 rear. Rim width front 8" rear 9". No clearance problems either!!!

Just makes you want to run out and buy an airline ticket and go flying, doesn't it??? ROFL

That's a good one!!! LOL

Just a suggestion,............get rid of that fan blade asap, how that it is completely out of balance and will destroy the water pump soon!!! Try an electric fan that's thermostaticly controlled. You'll free up a little horsepower and no more fan blade problems. Just an idea!

Have you ever wondered how big the pile of fat would be if you took all the fat people in the world and took away their excess baggage??? Can you say Mt. Everest?!! If you could recycle all thoughs carbohydrates you could likely supply power a large city for a decade! What do you think? P.S. TRUE STORY... A friend of mines wife wanted to go for a ride in my 240, shortly after I completed my resto, and I had to ask my friend to politely tell her (because I didn't have the heart to tell her myself) that her behind was just to big to fit into my Sparco seats. He did and she said....."Are you trying to tell me I have a fat arse?" He said, well dear...............guess who slept on the sofa that night? P.S.S. I swear it's true!!!

Have you ever wondered where all the old missing Z cars have gone??? I think this kid eat them all !!!!!

Hey Victor, So glad you got your baby back!!! I know the feeling of a missing Z. Back in 1986 or 87 my 240Z was stolen from right in front of where I worked at the time (San Diego). It felt as though I had lost a child!!! I had visions of it disappearing over the US/Mexico border. Two days later it was found by the police only a few miles away from where it was taken. Fortunately, the steering wheel had been removed by the thief, otherwise the Z would have been taken again, considering the neighborhood it was found in. Believe it or not I actually drove the car home from the impound yard using a large vise-grip as the steering wheel.........I was younger and less wise also!!! Anyway, we're all smiles again:D :D . P.S. The only music I listen to in my Z are the sounds a Z makes when it's owner is having it's way with it!!!!

zrush, Basically they are the same body except for the headlights and taillights and a little duct on the rear 1/4 panel. The 69 has four headlights (two in the grille, two outside the grille), the taillights protrude and the rear 1/4 panel has a duct. The 70 has onlt two headlights (in the grille) taillights are re-sest . P.S. If I remember correctly, the 69 was the only year they put four headlights on a Mustang.

Interesting observation made while watching the Barrett-Jackson auction on the SPEED channel. They were auctioning off two white Mustang fastbacks.......anyway, they were calling them 1969 models but they are actually 1970 models. I would have thought they would be a little more particular about car's information. Every Mustang person that saw this was probably saying................Geeeeeeeeeeees, come on guys, get your info correct. Everyone knows the difference between a 1969 and a 1970 mustang!!! This kind of mistake makes you wonder about all the other cars that go up for auction??? Just one man's opinion!

I took the test and only got 2 out of the 10................but who cares??? They all looked like loads of fun to me!!! :love:

Just a refresher.............BACKFIRE = out the carbs, AFTERFIRE = out the tailpipe.

FWIW, stick with the SU's!!!

Aren't the later ZX 5 speeds considered the close ratio units and the early 280Z 5 speeds the wider ratio units? If I remember correctly, the ZX trannies have a little higher 1st gear but the spacing between gears is less than the early 5 speeds. Anyway, for a street car I would recommend the late model ZX tranny with a 3.90 or 4.10 rear end.

I think the best why to address comments like Zpictor's is not to respond at all !!! This person might be the type that gets a kick out of seeing people react to their nonsence. The following statement may not be relevant, but maybe it applies a little. "Never get in an arguement with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and then whip you with experience."
