jnjdragracing Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Nice looking engine in the Big Tire Z, Damn the braid and lines. Looks like it is Nitrous assisted fuel injecting. You know Jon you are going to have to give us something like the break or a couple of lengths. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing both the Zcars run. Should be a Great time.

The Chassis ride height is 4.5'' on the front ( frame to the ground ) and 5.5'' on the rear ( frame to the ground ) I hope this helps.

Bartman Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Maybe you posted this already and I missed it, but have you altered the wheelbase on your big tire car? It looks like there's a little more area on the fender between the wheel opening and the door. It also looks like there may be a liittle more in front of the wheel opening as well with the hood dropping down a little lower than stock. Was the fiberglass front end custom made? Or maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took 4 fenders and 2 hoods cut and added together to do this that a guy ( don't rember his name ) molded for us out of Knoxville, Tn back in 1989 when we built the Z car Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnjdragracing Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Good looking car Jon, can't wait to see it in March..... Hey Sparks a longer wheelbase means better control on the other end....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 QUICK Z Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Was their any advantages to doing this? The Advantages of streaching the Z Car ( Like JNJ said ) a Beter handling car off the line and down track:burnout: , more room in the engine compartment.
