  1. Found a Weber 38/38 new for $150. WTF?

      for me? how sweet matt

  2. Motor's finally here. Need to clean up the head and make it shine. Got all of my parts collected, so all I need is oil and time and we'll get the LZ in. Got it's gonna be a wicked motor.

      sweet man ! looking forward to seeing that.

  3. It's gonna be a freakin blast :thumbup: Some Nismo stuff under the valve cover. With Z car dual valve springs HUGE intake ports. Big Z valves Dished 86mm Forged Mahle pistons. From a 4G63 DTP should like this :thumbup:
  4. The LZ is here! It may not look like much..... but you'll see a little bit more detail later.
  5. Looking great Bob! Nice to see that it's really pulling together. Can't wait to see the end result :thumbup:
  6. Ferrari it is ;) Is that the 'up'draft carb? haha :thumbup:
  7. You have to rank them, from 1-5 or whatever it is. You can't have two that rank the same. Basically, they expect you to tell them that one is any better then the other, when they're all truly shit.
  8. Need to finish with my ellipsoids. Damn I've been lazy

      Don't be lazy man! If I knew how to wire them up I would come help, I'll be up in ATL picking up a bench seat from Squatches this weekend.

  9. An update on the LZ: I've got just about all my parts together now. Just need to get a flywheel turned, and assemble the motor, which is happening tomorrow night so expect some awesome pictures. For now, some teasers of Master_o_turbonics awesome fab work. Rather then re-using the tiny port L16 intake, it's getting a ported U67 manifold. EGR Ports welded up All the extra tabs/BS are all going to be GONE. And it's gonna be ported to match the 1.5'' intake ports on the A87 peanut.
  10. Dang I missed a LOT :confused: It's a 12in fan. Can't be done The radiator CORE only measures out to 13x19, so there's not enough room for a 14in fan, OR two 10's. I was going to try two 10's in opposing corners, but it wouldn't have fit between the tanks. So far, the weather here has been UP to 75 degrees and idling in traffic or banging hard on it I haven't had any overheating issues with a 192 t-stat. When the LZ goes in, it'll get a 180. I'm not concerned about overheating. It's the absolute largest this radiator will accept. Down the road, I'll order an aluminum, or find a larger radiator that I can fit under the hood, and mount more/larger fans on that. Even in GA's brutal southern heat, I've seen cars with larger motors and smaller fan's do just fine. Now onto business. We pulled the bed over the weekend and into late Tuesday, were working on finishing up the gas tank repairs, and stripping the frame and underside of the bed. Frame got some cheapo paint/primer, until the paint is done on the truck. Don't want over-spray on expensive good paint. The bed got a heavy coat of primer (not the rattle can stuff) and some satin black paint. Should be good for a few decades I hope.
  11. Same here. Doesn't self cancel the turn signal either.

      I like them, honestly. I dont think tires are going to be hard to find though. Youd easily be able to get away with 195/55(or 50)/15 on those, or even 205/50/15. Most Hondas run that tire size, plenty of demand out there for them....

      I like WIDE tires on my wide rims though. Traction is gonna be difficult on my LZ as is. It's going to be a very torquy motor

      ahhh ok, that makes more sense now. Nevermind me! lol

       

  12. Dang man, sucks to see you letting this go! Hopefully it'll stay local.
  13. They're casting for extra's (70's trucks and cars) locally in the area for a Monday movie shoot! Wish me luck!

      Just make sure they give it back to you in the same condition they received it and get it in writing. Movie production companies are notorious for destroying shit and then disappearing. You don't want yours ending up in a wreck scene.

  15. Also don't mind ratwagon, he gets a little cranky when he hasn't had his snickers.
  16. Welcome!! It sounds real nice. As far as getting stolen, it happens so be cautious. The cars aren't hard to steal. Be sure to post pics. ;)
  17. *Z24 Anything will work with enough time, money, and skill. The question is, do you have all 3? It's not going to be an easy fit.
  18. Welcome fellow atlantian! Very nice 620 you have there! I've seen it bouncing around the internet for a while. Glad to see it ended up on here
  19. anyone got a good estimate on bolt size on the 620 standard bed/cab? I'm gonna probably pull my bed in a few days and I wanna be sure to have new ones handy... I anticipate breaking all of them.
