[QUOTE=NismoPick;275574]Slightly bigger than a golf kart. Blue, check university transport / landscaping departments. I know the UofU has many... and there's even several that IHC uses for grounds keeping.
I'll ask. But I just came across some info that their only street legal in a few states... I have no idea how old the info is tho.
Hmm....

Hmm I can decide... Should I keep this 280Z Or send it to the junk yard were it will probably get crushed... Theres so much wrong with it (Brakes are frozen up in the back, Electrical gremlins in every system, 90% of the fuel system needs work, RUST ON NEARLY EVERY PANEL, its an auto, the entire interior needs pretty much replaced) Its not really low numbers 280Z either, just a more common run of the mill 280Z. Maybe I'll keep it till the weather lets me make room to toss it onto a rotisserie and look over everything before I junk it. Idk...

Take out the glass, cage it, throw in a small block chevy or ford, put some wide tires in the back and take it a dirt oval track and race it. Could be fun and you won't have to worry too much about banging up the body panels!

Lmao, this is his response, to my question of how big of an idiot are you.
So, it sounds like no matter what we tell you is acceptable just by the way you posed the question but we will give it a shot:
The SPIRAL creates a vortex air flow to improve air & fuel mixture enhancing your engine's performance. It reduces the carbon accumulation in the engine and increases the horsepower to your engine. SPIRAL TURBO VENTILATOR blades are made of advanced precision bearing technology(running up to 10,000 RPM). Light weight aluminium alloy design is not only anti-rust, but also has the ability to match your high-revving engine. The blades have special angles to promote extra air flow to the inlet manifold and assist in providing better engine combustion.
Some people swear by it and the minute minority don't, to each his own, if you don't believe then we certainly wouldn't want you to buy it.
Peace!!

And this is my smart *** reply
creating turbulent air or a "vortex" as you call it, not only lower WHP, but also mpg's with it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that disruptions in air flow, like the one you stated, reduce velocity and overall flow for the intake pipe. Also any effect created by the aluminum blade will have effected the area only a few inches behind the blade. also the aluminum blade is so poorly designed and machined that any real chance of effectively producing positive results is not feasible in this universe. it's all in your head. If you are getting better mpg's it's because your being easier on the gas.

lol and here is the last response..
Look, i respect your opinion and do generally agree with what you say however this does not restrict air flow as proven. There are far too many people who agree than disagree so it just cannot be equated to "it's in their head"
I appreciate your feedback.
Thank you!!

at the extreme they can tow your car, until it can be inspected by a smog ref. they can give you a ticket and order a CHP inspection, they can suspend your registration, until its reffed or have another smog inspection. or BAR/EPA could slap you with a $1-30k fine and you would still have to have your car smogged.
