Not with that chromebook lol Dude, stop it, get some help.

Huh? Why would you think I use Chromebook for shooting or flight sims?
Lay off the booze, kid. It's slowing your brain even more.

You accepted a payout because you hated the louvers??? Accepted a payout????? So you think it is ok for you to get paid for an accident that isn't your fault and for you to benefit from it?

Kind of ironic how you were screaming about VPNs five minute ago.

It's not ironic. I was making a point far before you discovered it.

Yeah, I reported to insurance that I hit someone I was racing
No. I just got a hood off of a junker for $125 cash.

Even at 18, I didn't have to beg someone to accept payments for junk I needed to buy.

So you lied to the insurance company to get paid. Wow... and you chase fraud for a living. I am losing respect for you... wait... I don't have respect for you. Shame on you.

Did you get the hood without louvers?

Hint: The laughing emoji was scoffing at the idea that I reported it to the insurance company.
A $125 hood with a $1200 deductible?

I know math is rough for you, but even YOU should be able to figure that one out.

What IS funny is that you claim what you WISH I did is shameful, but you celebrate Trump for hsi 34 fwlony convictions for financial fraud.
Good stuff.

I did. Rattle-canned it in gray primer. And then got t-boned by an off-duty cop who was making an illegal u-turn. Knocked me out cold and I drove half a blcok into a pole.

I got nothing near what I had put into the car in parts and labor. Life went on.

So you found stock a hood with no louvers for a car that had no such option. The car that had louvers was the 280zx. One that you claimed to have owned but have no pictures of that you can produce... am I right? This is what you said, you would have to locate the pictures?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I am assuming you got paid after the T-Bone?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I'm sorry. I have to call bullshit. I don't think you owned any Z cars. I think you just pick obscure things to claim you have knowledge about to attempt to impress people. See, I was/am still a member of probably the largest Z car web forum. Having owned three 280ZX's myself. I know the ins and outs of these cars. Side to side, front to back. I know that the bolts holding the dash in are all 14mm. I know that the talking lady was in the 1982 and 1983 models. I know that the 280zx never had a louverless hood.

 

[Jimi77 Premium Member]

Well... just after Rob of course.

Of course.

 

[Jimi77 Premium Member]

This is exactly what you do to me. Make a claim that I said something or tell me how I think then respond to your own post.

Annoying isn't it, Robert?

So you think ...

You really need to educate yourself before you speak, kid.
Your "gotcha" moments are a colossal fail, every time.
I don't expect you to remember every post I make, or every detail I share about me, but don't be dumb enough to attempt a "gotcha" when you obviously have no clue. Do your homework.

The '77 and '78 280Z had hood louvers. They added them to combat vapor lock in the fuel injection system.
Pre-'77 did not have the louvers, I replaced a '77 hood with a pre-'77 hood. They were identical in fit from the 240Z to the end of the 280Z series in 1978, so it was a four-bolt swap that took probably 20 minutes.
I also added a cooling fan scavenged off of a later turbo ZX, and wired it to a factory-looking switch in the dash, below the radio.
Neither of which helped the fan clutch or the clogged radiator I had to replace.

Yeah, I have a pic or three. Somewhere in a 7' bookshelf of photo albums, that I have to digitize from my parents' estate .
Would you like to come over and do some scanning for me?

My ZX on the lift. Not BBS wheels. Hayashi.
The lift had a bad habit of creeping down overnight. Had to be sure the lock engaged once up.
Outside that window was a Boars' head delivery truck that my customer paid to park there when not delivering.
Also, stacks of tires and a crate of metal to be recycled.

I assume you were a member in good standing of the Z Car Club Of America when you had your sled?
The club founder raced this all over the US. You probably saw him at races. I know I did.
The guy in that hat is Phil B. He raced Alphas. Dave H is sitting on the fender, with his back to us.
This car got totalled in a "coffee cup" race at Pocono, and replaced with a ZX.
300HP, normally-aspirated.

No, I've never seen a Z car before, haha.
