  1. Yes , Mike the same thing I always think name tags would help ,when at our Datsun events ,some like being alias I think .
  2. Play it safe with 15x7 +10 +15 offset with 205x50s or 195x50x15s Really depends on what struts you run most run 280zx which like +10 offset best ,anyway your car doesn't look to rusty for that part of country.
  3. I think was etched and painted ,check out door panel inside orange wagon ,had a rising sun imprinted in vinyl ,I believe was Audry's car she had bright blue patrol also.
  4. Welcome aboard and we need more girls that love to repair/restore their cars ,please ask for help when needed ,those wheels may be enkie most people ditch smaller wheels for 15" due to more tire choice and higher gears .
  5. Nice pics Kimberly , and hey John you won best 240 ? I snuck out a little early during awards , super show and dealer manager owns the 1959 on showroom ,super nice guy ,his son owned the super slammed 240sx painted Datsun green ,wish they carried sr stuff.
  6. I thought only extreme So Cal heat made them shrink in corners and crack ,but I guess up north also .
  7. Metal prepped getting etch primer ,and fabbing lower rocker ,worst left on car .No time ! ]] Full of lead had to melt out with torch[/Look at shrink marks from stud welder with mushruum tip ,lead was present made holes . added some braces stiffen roof.
  8. OT. my crazy radio is playing Specials and Madness RETROGRADE indie1031.com hit listen live ,it is safe listen everday almost ,B52s awesome !
  9. Yo Eddie ,I may bring my cheby stationwagon ,been driving it all week ,,we will see maybe 3:00 if I can escape my shop sentence.
  10. Hey serious give it to Art Brown ,you have his # ? I was giving my spot to a friend if I get his car running or I am going .
  11. If you put it on center stand and rev engine on concrete garage floor it will jump backwards like 5 ft.I worked at a Honda Yamaha dealer in the 80s and always remember these bikes on floor and worried about breaking the tail lights ,cool old school like a triumph .
  12. I went last week with my daughter and going again tonite ,fun family friendly ,I am calling Art Brown next he lives near there , here is link racin starts at 7:00 after the live band . http://www.industryracing.com/schedule.html
  13. Residential area totally wrong !!!! But now be real if you or I hit the Lotto and could own that car ! I would make all my buddies drive it ,just not unsafe ,maybe on freeway .
  14. It looks like an industrial area , people go to those places at night to race , straight street ,no intersections , it depends on how many passes the guy made , I am sorry we really don't know what transpired , I would not have stopped for first rock , I got into it with a Cherokee at 7:30 this morning ,not residential street ,and we did not hit 100 maybe 60-70 did not last long ,no one around ,are you going to pull over and throw rocks at me ?
  15. Back on tracks and Realestate , in California maybe Palmdale /Lancaster for cheap and down the street from Willow Springs , also close to Buttonwillow tracks , and also semi close to Fontana speedway , it is hard to afford Ca. and race a car.
  16. The club race cars can only be modified within rules ,another minor upgrade we have done within rules is I made a coil of fuel line 20 ft maybe in a custom made stainless box with water catch can, inside car that he puts dry ice in to cool fuel temp and has made a difference in performance also and he may be angry I am talking about these little tricks , I guess the Z cars beat him on straights but they are all 3.2 and his is only 2.4 I think.
  17. Here is one for you Smoke ! one of my cust. is a tech on a Porsche car race team and he tells me they use electric vacuum on crankcase breather and make more horsepower and RPMs like when you plug a vacuum and motor revs higher he said , they are experimenting with this system .
  18. I had a 2002 Frontier extra cab ,was an ok truck ,scared me when I towed my 22.5 ft boat when I had to hit brakes once , anyway I sold it , have a 2004 4x4 Ranger xlt 4.0 forsale here ,as you said it blew trans at 100k has 112k and a new trans , Rangers are hot in So Cal I want like 7000 , they all have something that's weak usually trans at 80-100k , cost 2k to repair my buddy did it for 1k.
  19. I guess my hobby is painting cars and some restoration of old cars , really don't like wrenching ,wiring and fabbing is ok ,I have been taking college classes or renting a spray booth for some time ,and need my own for classic cars only not fender repair like body shop , so here it is , need some more funds for filters lights and electrical work ,but really want to do some two tones ,pearls and maybe some custom stuff in my own booth so there is no rushing .[url=http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Alleycatgarage/media/104_2151.jpg.html]
  20. Lisa is coming back as someone else ,so they don't talk smack to her again .
  21. John should get a Landcruiser like the guy in pic.
  22. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-japanese-car-collectors-20140523-story.html Ouch someone tried to buy my car already today , better keep your keepers .
