and a couple pics from the weekend.

with all the rain, I had the afternoon to install my wideband in my evo:
In case anyone is counting:
1.) boost
2.) oil pressure
3.) water temp
4.) fuel pressure
5.) oil temp
6.) EGT
7.) ECA (ethonal content analyzer)
8.) wideband

couple all that with autodim mirros temp sensor and my battery relocation, the grommet coming through the firewall is a bit 'exploited'.... reminding of the joke about not dating the girl that sits on a bar stool and falls to the floor

And my brother prepped his new beater for the 50's. '56 olds 88. it's a runner. He just sanded it out and painted it a flat metalic purple. was looking OK till he decided to pain the roof white. Now it looks like some viking fanboy's ride. He still needs to put the trim back on and do some pin striping, so we'll hold off final judgement till all that is complete. Pic makes it look darker. in the sun, she is a nice vikes purple

Looks like it's suppose to stay dry out there today....HOT & humid, but dry.

I'm thinking of heading up to the RK meet tonight if anyone else is interested. Leaving Apple Valley area around 6pm.

I can't remember ever seeing a white 280ZX, and I didn't know they were TT. How did you know it's a TT?

Sorry, Scott. I've got to mow this lawn. Plus, I've got kitchen duty this evening.

Nice NSX, definitely go for it if I also had money! I saw the painting your bro does, how good is he and how much would he charge if I wanted to vinyl wrap my roof and paint my front bumP?

My neighbor rode with me up to the RK meet....nice night for a drive. Not nearly as many cars there though as compared to the last time I went. We all need to go one night and represent!

He was sittin next to me at a stop light, side badging said "280ZX Twin Turbo". when he pulled away, could definitely hear em too. The badging wasn't new so i am guessing it came stock. Older guy driving it.

Honestly, there's no way that could have been a TT. Nissan only made one series a twin turbo, and that was the 300ZX aka Z32TT. Maybe the 280 was modded.

Scott, they're tearing down that place I told you about for a photo shoot. It's going down fast.

I'm sure you did hear it. The Z31 did come with a turbo model.

Wasn't the Z31 the first body style 300ZX? I think the 280ZX was a S130. Regardless, neither came with a TT.

yeah, the only tt motor was the vg30dett that came in the z32 300xz, the 280zx did have a single turbo though... but it could easily be motor swapped
