Okay, So I'm getting a *little* older, but I'm still younger than Cam & Dean on PHRTV (at least I look younger). Actually, I've got weird aspirations to purchase a vintage '69 Dodge Charger R/T, but NOT paint it loud orange and put a Confederate flag on the roof with an "01" on the welded doors, etc. The 426 Hemi engine BTW has a cylinder head that looks very Honda-like with spark plugs located in the center of the piston chamber, hemispherical alloy head, etc.
CRX content: Just got a bottle of "Purple Ice" and plan to put it in soon. Apparently, you have to drain the coolant out so there's only 15% left, then add just water and the Purple Ice additive (it breaks down all the H2O molecular friction, transferring heat from the block much more efficiently).

Showing your age there, George... ;^) Mine didn't have a stock radio. In fact, it didn't have one at all. It had the stock DATSUN blank. But the next Datsun we owned, a 1972 240Z did. And it had a semi-automatic antenna. :^) This car did have a rusting problem which was why we sold it. We parted it out and got more for it than if we tried to sell it whole. As I told Brian, I had a 1970 510 Sedan (two door) that I picked up for $2000 (US). Needed some engine work but nothing too serious. Only owned it for about 3 months and I used it for AutoX and OpenTrack applications only. Basically the first time I ever bought a "race" specific car. Great car, but I someone made an offer for it which gave me enough to purchase a 1969 BMW 2002. Anyway... yep... I think mine had 75 HP stock and I had thought about putting a turbo kit in it but at the time it was way out of my budget. So I went the dual Weber route (didn't have much experience with Mukuni's which was also recommended). >CRX content: nice cold day here in Florida- baby felt like she gained >10 horsepower!

The highs have been in the mid 60F and the lows in the 50F. Dry Santa ana conditions. But a couple of weeks ago, it was down to around 20F where I live and Jiggy's CAI really was peppy in the mornings! :^D Robert K.
