Excellent choice, wasn't that the first year? I can't remember but I think the first ones didn't have the 240Z badge behind the rear quarter window. Those motors can make some good power, is it complete with the factory SU's?

Weren't you in the process of building a 200hp motor for your Civic?
Check the rear diff mounting, they have a cheesy way of mounting them and they like to break. I think there is a strap that supports it in the front and it will break with a lot of hard driving, or it may be on its way.

goo gone or goof off. test it in an area under the hood on the paint to make sure it works ok though.

Im not sure if this works on all stickers, but water might help. or you could leave the stickers on, lure any local ricers into the sense that ur one of them, and then rip em up big time!

btw, can u put NOS on a scooter? that'd be funny....

no but if your scooter really is diesel powered, you can boost it up with propane injection.

probably not the safest thing in the world, but you could easily sit the tank on the platform you would normally stand on... hehehe

It runs on red diesel, y'know? the illegal for road stuff u put in generators and lawn mowers etc.
i kinda need the stand area for, er, standing? so i could have the tank in a little dinky basket on the front.
or wear it on my head...
now theres an idea.
