Well my 71 240Z is now sitting in the garage waiting to head to Zworx for its last paint and panel fit.
The engine is running beautifully (started it up today! bloody loud without pipes tho :-)  )
Had a very stupid grin going when i heard it tho (disappeared when i was pushing it up the drive with the help of my lil' sister!!! who knew cars w/ engines were hard to push uphill!!

the end is in sight!!!! after exams  :(

How nice is the sound of a zed running straight out extractors?  I should see about uploading the mp3 of mine running through its new 6 into 1's.....

it's bloody awesome, just wish i could take it for a spin, but brakes bled yet so it would be amusing :-)
might wake the neighbours to have another listen  :twisted:
mine are 6-2-1 if that makes sense, from HM in dandenong.

when i first droove my Z after putting on the extractors and straight pipes it was awesome, droove all the way from sydenham (right next to calder raceway) to highpoint shopping center, where my exhaust place is.

was mild from idle to 3k, but after that on WOT sounded awesome can't wait to get the simliar feeling happening again

Haha - I'm going to be in a large convoy when I go to the exhaust place - got like 5 mates who want to listen to it screaming along on extractors only...
