You are most likely fighting other kids with little fighting skills, brawlers if you will. Honestly bare fists and gloves are two completely different things. For instance me(5'8 125lbs a little muscular) and my older brother(5'7 215lbs fat and stronger than me) box all the time and he wins all the time. However we got in a fist fight once and it was a completely different story. Point being is, fighting over the internet makes you look like a gay pusssey.

I will no longer argue on this subject.

Lol I guess. I'm not trying to look like douche, but its been stated by the best fighters in the world that size in strength are not the most important aspects in a fight.

what we do it all matters who can get on top first and establish some sort of position to just punch the F out of the other guy, we try to keep elbows and knees out of it, but only one of us out there has ever took an actual MMA class and no one fights him unless there tore the **** up, and he is only like 5'9" but yeah we dont mess with him

no that 280Z was a GREAT start. better than any price/condition than i can currently find. the suspension and drive train might have been rust but it came with spares for EVERYTHING so a quick grind and some paint, new hardware and a coupe weekends of wrenching and then upgrade parts it was done.

From what I recall the body on his was pretty decent. My S30 thought is going to be one that I'm really going to have to put together. It's a good body, but there's a goofy aftermarket radio, wiring for old stereo equipment, they've made a trailer hitch for it and have it wired in. The carpet is gone in the front, the seats are torn up. The rest of the interior isn't too bad and I can use that vinyl spray to get it to look good. I think for now I'll use some wal-mart carpeting to make it look nicer and throw some floor mats over it. Oh I need a new steering wheel as well as that's aftermarket and torn up...

Oh a few more things I remembered, I needed a new key lock cylinder for the passenger door. As it's just missing, I need to take apart the door panels and realign the door windows. Then just get my turbo motor in it, minor body work, and then paint.

Have you used that vinyl spray before? I haven't used it since it was called 'Molecu-bond'. I just started doing my seats with Duplicolor Vinyl and I'm paranoid of it coming off on my clothes.

that vinyl spray I've seen it come out really good. A friend of mine did it to his ZX door panels. The things looked factory. Like you couldn't tell the difference between my factory black door panels or his sprayed door panels.

I just finished one of my seats. The gloss back from Duplicolor was awesome but the gray was, 'meh.' It didn't stick as well as the black and pulled up with the tape (painters tape even). I'll have to touch it up with a brush but it seems to be pretty safe to sit in.

Overall it looks amazing, I'll take some pics when I do the drivers seat.

i had real good luck with the duplicolor black on my "maybe leather" "racing" seats. i just have to touch it up every 2 or 3 months of normal driving because you get little spider cracks in the areas that get most wear. for me, it's where i put my hand when i get out.

That's good to know, Thanks! I really didn't know what to expect. I haven't colored an interior in years.

Person I know used the Duplicolor Flat or Matte Black whatever it is for his door panels. He said the gloss black didn't come out well on his doors, but either way they looked really good when done.

Finally got myself a set of 240Z turn signals. So I can pretty much do the turn signal swap with my 240Z airdam. Now all I need is the 240 bumper and I'm pretty good to go.

By the way if anyone is looking for a motor, the place I got the signals had some goofy convertible S30. The thing was in a fire or something, basically everything behind the firewall was annihilated. The front of the car was still intact and the motor had triple mikunis. I didn't pay attention to if it was an L28 or what it was.

does the 280z turn signal harness plug right into the 240z turn signal?
