I can bend 1", 1.5" and 1.75" pipe... send me the specs and we can discuss the details... I also can MIG weld... Rick

A Taliban was sitting in a cave when he hears over a dune the voice of one American solider: "One American soldier is better than 10 Taliban fighters" So the Taliban angry sent over ten of his high-ranking soldiers. After a lot of gun fire and yelling and screams of agony the Taliban heard the voice again. "One American soldier is better than 100 Taliban fighters" So the Taliban sends over 100 of his highest ranked soldiers sure of victory. After a lot of gun fire and yelling and screams of agony the Taliban heard the voice again: "One American soldier is better than 1000 Taliban fighters" So the Taliban sends 1000 of his toughest, meanest, personal guards over the dune. After hundreds of bullets fired, and explosions and the screaming and crying, it was over. The Taliban now wondering what happened goes over the dune where he finds a wounded Taliban solider who says "It's a trap -- don't send anymore men -- there are two of them!"

2Many -- I think a major difference is that our folks gave us love and attention... ...instead of showering us with money to keep us happy. And I guess we can look at it this way -- they are helping to keep the economy going! :classic:

Here's a question... If a married couple from Arkansas move to the Ozark Moutains in Missouri and get a divorce... ...are they still legally Brother and Sister?

From what I've been told, the HP to weight ratio of the 240 makes it more competitive than the 260. The 240 even dominates over the 280. I don't know from experience how much faster a 240 is than a 260 because I've never seen one at the track. I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers as my comment wasn't a personal slam toward the 260...

...I'm a little concerned that you know how much a penile implant costs... I've noticed here in St. Louis, especially the I-70 corridor into downtown, that things are getting closer to the way they were in Mad Max! And most people here act as though stop signs with white borders around them are optional...

Here's proof that even the Rolls-Royce isn't imune: And check out this Porche:

The 240Z has been one of the dominating cars in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Production and Improved Touring racing for 30 years. There is a Ton (or 907.19 kg :classic:) of information on suspension mods that can be done and how to tweak them to out perform Porche, BMW, Mazda, Honda :sick: and just about any other car out there in road racing. As long as you can put in at least a 6-point weld-in roll-cage and a front strut bar, the chassis is great. Lower the car to 5" (or lower) ride height, add some 2-way adjustable Konis, 2-1/2" x 10" springs (275# front, 250# rear), heavy (preferably adjustable) front anti-sway bar, rear anti-sway bar, camber plates, limited slip rear diff, urethane bushing, air-dam and have some fun. For a car that is as old -- well, I should say seasoned -- it does great! Oh, stay away from the 260 for racing -- the power to weight ratio is not as good as the 240.

On a Septic Tank Truck sign: "We're #1 in the #2 business." Sign over a gynecologist's office: "Dr. Jones, at your cervix." At a proctologist's door: "To expedite your visit please back in." On a Plumbers truck: "We repair what your husband fixed." On a Plumbers truck: "Don't sleep with a drip. Call your plumber." At a towing company: "We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows." On an electrician's truck: "Let us remove your shorts." On a maternity room door: "Push. Push. Push." At an optometrist's office: "If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place." On a fence: "Salesmen welcome! Dog food is expensive." In a restaurant window: "Don't stand there and be hungry? Come on in and get fed up." In the front yard of a funeral home: "Drive carefully. We'll wait." At a Chicago radiator shop: "Best place in town to take a leak."

...pony up $160K and buy one of these... 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Top speed - 200+ braking 70-zero in 149ft weight - 2200lbs -- MT900S Web Site --

Raise the right front and turn the tire by hand: - Maybe the brake pads are rubbing on the rotor if the rotor has some runout. - Maybe the baffle plate is bent and rubbing against the rotor. Check for anything around the engine pulleys that may be bent.

Who noticed the car when you had Daisy Duke to keep your eyes busy? Ok -- here's the General Lee: I believe they are called Vector wheels and you may be able to find some on the official (well maybe not official) General Lee web site... They have a message board with some for sale... General Lee Site Disclaimer: I have only ever seen the show two or three times when I was a kid. I just had some free time today so I thought I'd search the web.

I don't think their web site has been updated for a while. Try calling them in the evening.

Very clean and super fast looking!

St.stephen, I'm sure there is an F1 team that would be happy to sell you one of their cars

Try Doug Piner with Japco -- I know they had stopped for a while but were going to start making things again. From what I understand, you can buy all of Arizona Z Car's molds -- for about $30K.

Sorry for the obscure reference to a Todd Rundgren song... I got so frustrated once with my rear drums that I finally took a 12 pound sledge and gave a good whack right in the middle where it centers on the hub. It popped right off with no damage. I cleaned/sanded everthing and used some Molybdenum grease to keep it from grabbing hold again.

MSA in California has them either in clear or smoked for $49.95. They ahve the black rubber gasket and require no drilling do install. (800) 633-6331 or Motorsport Auto

But most snobby Porche guys (or any other power car for that matter) are dealing with a problem with their manhood -- or lack of. We all drive Zs because they are a true sports car and we love them... and we don't have to compensate for stamina that matches a top-fuel drag car's 1/4 mile time!

Toyo makes a 225/50/14 or a 205/55/14. You can get them delivered to your door from Vilven tire near Chicago for about $125 each.

I've heard good things about the Falken tires also. For the price they may be the way to go. I have a set of Toyo Proxes that I like quite well (Z rated street tires). Another option are Kumho. Like the Toyo, they wear well. I really like the look of the Falken tread pattern. On a side note... can you guys down under get Hoosier tires? Once you race on those you won't want to run anything else.

Well, for computer geeks like me, VB (Visual Basic) is bad because it is a Microsoft product :classic: But for Z guys, well at least some purists, the parts may not be up to par. Most, if not all, are aftermarket parts. I've seen complaints about their rubber seal kits. I have had good luck with them though -- and their prices usually beat MSA. Except it is wise to compare with MSA since they do offer a 10% discount for members of Z clubs. I usually order about 1/2 of my stuff from each -- although some of what I get comes from the local auto-parts store (not AutoZone or Napa), the locally owned store -- I always check them first.

MSA (800) 633-6331 has them for $34.95 including the boot. Call your local auto-supply house and see what they can do for you too. I know I'll get blasted for recommending Victoria British, but they have ball joints for $24.95 (800) 255-0088

Have you checked to make sure the nozzle below the carb is not stuck open such that it would be in a choke-on state? I know these can bind open sometimes. Is the front float adjusted correctly? There's not a lot that can go wrong with the SUs but if you have another one sitting around, give it a shot (swapping the front one out).

I'm trying to get my budget filled out for my race car and may have to sell my 71. It is rust free but needs an interior -- it does have some minor surface rust -- and needs a paint job. Has a clean dash cap. I've installed new rear wheel cylinders, new front rotors, bearings, grease seals and rebuilt calipers. New brake hoses all around. New master cylinders for both brake and clutch. New clutch hose and clutch slave cylinder. I've installed a Crane XR-3000 electronic ignition and Crane PS-91 performance coil. I've cleaned the carbs and it has new oil, filter, wires, cap, rotor, hoses. I'm don't really want to do this but I'm in a pinch -- but that doesn't mean I'm going to let it go for nothing... I'm in St. Louis. If you want to see some photos, check out the bottom car on my build page...71 240 I can post some other photos if anyone is interested.
