Why do I get the feeling you are ducking us? A little rusty are ya???

Mike, you don't have a car for this weekend? OUCH.

You'll be ripping out of oak tree, pedal to the metal, waiting for the rush of the boost... only now there won't be any!

Mikelly

Nah, You guys forget I tracked a SpecMiata for 3 years... I'm used to waiting for power that isn't there... And my regular track car is this:






There's a fuel injected 383 stroker with EFI standalone and other bits and bobbles to make the car go like stink, handle like a GT3 and stop like a Z06!

It's a 460BHP 2600# monster caged Datsun 76 280Z!

Hey, that's not an inline 6. My first car ever was a rusted out 240

Mikelly

So the car is on its way... Got pictures sent to me from the previous owner with it getting loaded up... I'm guessing 5-6 days total from yesterday!

Congrats Mike - the wait makes the arrival all the sweeter! And your Z came out beautifully - no chance you sell that. Keep that monster...

Hey Mike - I'm also a GT3/240Z owner - though mine is a bone stock survivor. I know my 3 is like night and day compared to the Z. your z looks like a closer call. enjoy both.

Sweet - the Japanese E type

Mikelly

Jpoint, Very nice! I've owned 22 of those cars over the years...Great little machines...

Japanese E-type, exactly!

Received the box of stock parts from Peter, the previous owner yesterday. He sent me the stock exhaust, stock shifter, and a stock faulty ignition switch that was replaced under warranty.

So far this transaction has gone well. Only hitch was when they picked up the car... had they picked it up on Monday or Tuesday, I might have had it this weekend... They picked it up on Thursday, so who knows when I'll get it!

Give us the specs on the z to take your mind of it!
