DISLEXICDIME Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Laecaon getting low ? Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 It will also depend on tire size and how low you want to go. The lower you are, the more negative camber you will be (unless you manually correct it) which helps tuck. That's what I need to figure out, I know I could get away with 15x7 0 offset up front with the 280zx struts. Just not sure in the back since I'm running 280zx control arms. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Preparing for it. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Found these old Weber 40DCOE carbs a friend gave me way back. Unfortunately he threw out the manifold because it had a crack. From what I remember is that one needs a new top part the float attaches to because the part that the float attaches to is broke, other than that the carbs are complete carbs they just need some love. Now I just have to find those dam rear springs to lower the rear. Found them finaly Eddie Quote Link to comment

zianian Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hacked into/soldered afr gauge wire in prep for inputting into Haltech in prep for tuning wonder boy to do his magic. The white wire (I hope). Detailed (cleaned dust) around main gauge cluster. Painted flat black stuff... key hole surround, reverse light microswitch epoxy pile (it was white), front wheel hub nut caps (they scratch just from looking at them). Drove. Reaffixed old expired TX inspection tag. Drove more. Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I know what you mean I drove mine to the exhaust shop open header. Yeah, getting to old for that lol. There is an exhaust shop near my house, may stop by today and ask them if they can do it. And talking to pl521sss for a rear bumper. Sent him the money, just waiting for the shipping. (No I'm not "calling him out", money was just sent, don't expect the bumper to be sent already, just staiting what step of the process we are in lol) Quote Link to comment
zianian Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 It wasn't today and I can't be certain.... but I think I got my baby up on 3 wheels. That was a pretty cool corner. (see black X) Tomorrow is our first autocross. Is 3 wheels a good thing? I know two could be the start of some major suck. Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Took her for a quick drive around the block, and for some reason I have fuel coming out of my filler neck, a little spilled inside the trunk and some spilled out onto the side of the car while I was driving. Any ideas? It's a stock fuel tank with a 300zx fuel pump welded on. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 The rubber could be cracked, that's how mine was when I bought it. I was lucky enough to get a factory set of rubber ones. Quote Link to comment
