    Andrew Wilson's '73 CSi

    Hey Stan, I just installed a Pertronix into my 2800cs and for the last couple of days I can't get my car to start. I was thinking maybe it's because I'm not getting TDC setting on my distributor but I've tried over dozen times reinstalling the distributor and still my car won't start. I was...

    What engine do I have?

    Thanks for the info. I'm gonna go look for the stamp on #1 cylinder. Currently my engine is running twin weber carbs and the distributor is a 002 unit. I didn't know that you could convert a CSI motor over to a carb engine. Is this possible? So is this why my car will not start after...

    Well my search is over and I finalized the purchase and picked her up on Friday. After sitting for over 6 years in my friend's garage, the engine shakes a little but starts right up fine. Drove it home after I got the classic vehicle plates from DMV. The A/C works and blows somewhat of a cold...

    Got any pics of your 91 NSX? Man I loved my old 91 NSX but the mod bug was flowing too much my into my blood and was dumping so much money into it. I must of put over $30k into that thing and I had to sell it. And I took a big loss when I sold it for only $25k to an older gentleman from Utah...

    Aloha to all, Newbie from Las Vegas, originally from Hawaii. Only seen an E9 once when I was younger living in the Bay area and I was in love with it. Are there any E9 owners in Vegas? Cause I have yet to see another E9 in the last 15 years of living here. I don't have an E9 but currently...
