Who wants to go and see "Rush" with me at the movies in the future ?
It is supposed to be pretty good film and very accurate of the mid '70's F1 racing. 1976 to be exact.
Watch some of these videos....they are classic.

Anyone know of a shop that rebuilds steering racks? Have my Audi in a shop in Grand Prairie right now and the rack is toast. Thanks P O for disclosing when buying.

I don't really have a date or time yet...was just trying to see if there was enough peeps interested.
I saw some good interviews with the original cast and real drivers....so I was wondering if anybody else would want to see it together.
Maybe this next Sunday or the next weekend after that....I'm in no hurry.
Lucky,
Have you checked into finding a used steering rack from a wrecking yard ?
Could be really cheap.

Whoa Pat....those are some hefty hours...but good OT at least !
Pound out those hours....you will be tired....but you will feel good when it is all over and done.
Travis, that bites that your headlight is rattling and has a leak somewhere....I saw a left side head light on CL for sale. I know you don't want to buy one, but at least it is an option if yours is in bad shape. It is '06 and newer.
Well my freelance has run a bit dry and slow a little earlier than I expected....so I haven't been working as much. I'm the opposite of Pat, I need some work !
I have a couple applications out at some random places, but it is very unlikely I will land the full time job. So I will just keep collecting unemployment and try to get more freelance gigs.
Wish me luck I get something soon or I might not be racing for a while anymore.

hey there fellas. i miss my old stomping grounds. how's things going in the DFW Z scene ?
Sucks to hear about your slow freelance work, Chris. I hate living in fear of losing my job. makes decision-making about buying a house/ kids, etc very hard.

yeah not sure.. what i am going to do in the mean time is drop the wheel well liner down and take the turn signal bulb out and get a hair dryer to get the moisture out for now.... and then maybe take it out and run a bead of silicone around it to get me by for a bit. think i might do what i said and see if i can get just the housings no ballast wiring or anything

Once I got back from autox I started putting on the new exhaust, HFC's, and new MRev2 plenums and intake manifold (all port and polished )
Next is to plug in Uprev and tune it.

It would be good to measure what kind of gains you are getting from these.

I never got a baseline on it, I wish I could of back in September but I was out of town that weekend.
Are the wheel studs on z's 12mm? Because I bought some ADR rims cheap on craigslist and I was going to use them for autox, they came off a Altima so I figured they'd fit. But it seems like my wheel studs are too thick. Does nissan have different sizes on studs on their cars?
