Terrific... This is why I subscribed to this list.
Well I'll start by saying that I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (San
Ramon to be exact), and I've found the BADROC site, but not much action
going on there. Infact, I recall (after checking the archives) someone
asking on this list a few days ago if anyone is still updating that
site... I belong to the NorCal chapter of the MR2 club, so I know the
benefits of groups like that. Great sources of knowledge, and will
exploit that knowledge once I buy a roadster.
Apples to Oranges... I figured as much. 2 completely different cars
from 2 completely different eras. I've always been fascinated with the
Fairlady tho... just never in the position to buy a car that I knew I'd
have to do resto work to. And I know when I buy one, I'll have to do
SOME kind of work to it. As they say. Rust never sleeps.
That's good to see that some manufacturers still make quality shocks for
these cars. Andrew Murphy had described it as having a truck frame. On
that note, is it possible to slap on a rear sway bar? Since the car is
so light, could it use it... would it need it? Nothing more important
than a well tuned suspension... tho horsepower is lots of fun too. In
cruising the internet, I really haven't seen anyone with any crazy SUS.
setups. Tho that one guy in Washington putting the Rotory in his car is
planning to use the 510 IRS. Then there is also the other guy putting a
Chevy 3.2L V6 in his, using a moded Mustang GT rearend. Still, that is
a solid axel as well. It really is amazing how many owners I have seen,
that do their own welding and fabrication. Hahahaha, and they all have
those home-made wooden lifts in their garages.
I'm starting to sway from the topic of this subject... so I'll stop
here.
Thanks for all the quick responses you've given, and I look forward to
learning more from all you owners about this classic.
