Sorry for making another one of these threads... Looking to pick up a set of these wheels... http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=120 I was wondering out of all the choices they have listed in the 4x114.3 Z bolt pattern which would be the best choice, and which offset I should choose. Car has no fender flares, factory suspension and brakes. Would prefer the 15x8 wheels to get more rubber, but if the offsets work better for my car with the 15x7 then so be it. Thanks so much for the help!

I hope you've made some progress on this car in the last year! Looks like you were busy settling into a new life in San Antonio, good for you! Any updates, is she on the road!?!?!?

This is awesome!!! I hope you guys are still around in a couple years. I would be interested in having a complete shell built.

I've emailed the owner to find out a bunch more information. All he said was he did not build the car and doesn't know any of the specifics on the aftermarket parts. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2962115832.html Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Drooooooooooool!!!!

Wow! Nice!

Can you send a link to the fuel tank set up? Thanks!

Great job and congrats! I will be relying on this thread for my build. Thanks for your time and information!

Nice progress!!

This is Darius's old Z isn't it?

Thanks! I will be ready for a set by next summer.

Nice work!!!

Cool. Thank you sir!

What are the chances of being able to order a set around September? Thanks.

Hey John, Do you by chance happen to offer (or could make) a fiberglass hood with a 2" cowl instead of 4"? MSA has appeared to have discontinued their cowl hoods, and I am having a tough time finding one. Thanks for the help! John.

I think you are right. Sadly I even owned a 98 M3 Coupe for 2 years too. Wow. lol.

DAMN!!! What a correction!!! Mad skills. That looked like a supra dash?

HAHAHAHA! I didn't even think about skin gun being dirty until you said to keep your mind out of the gutter. That is hilarious dude! LOL!

John C thanks for actually posting useful information and for making the call. Gives me some info o go off of when I talk to my BAR guy next week. Tony D, you didn't do anything but post life experiences just like mine. Don't take credit for others work with a long pointless post when you did NOTHING to help your side of the argument. You didn't post any real facts or data. Thanks for trying though.

(a) under Section 27156 seems to be where they can nail us. ( b ) states "...vehicle that is required to be equipped with a motor vehicle pollution control device..." According to the other sections under the BAR guidelines a pre 1976 vehicle would NOT be a "required" vehicle. (a) doesn't continue to explain anything more, and leaves no classification like( b )does. So based on that, we are supposed to negate the previously stated and sectioned SMOG requirement guidelines from the BAR?

No it's all good dude. I'm just going based off of real life experiences ya know? Crap I've been through regarding this stuff with helping my friends get their smog shops up and running. No worries at all. Let me know what you find out on your side, and I will do the same!

You just said exactly what I said haha.

You aren't reading it correctly. (i) is STILL a sub clause of section (4) of 44011. Doesn't pertain to my car. To better serve your side of the argument, section (6) states that "all motor vehicles that the department determines would present prohibitive inspection or repair problems." This portion COULD pertain to my car, but based on how the code is written out, it is not clear on whether or not this is negating the aforementioned section (3) A BAR SMOG representative frequents my friends test only station in Livermore. I will be sure to have a conversation with him AGAIN, even though I had him explain this to me once before.

I guarantee you his truck was not older than a 1976 model year, plus you don't know the full story on that particular situation either I am assuming? HUNDREDS of people try and pull off the PO Box or former address in Oregon deal. That is a 15-20 year old game now that cops have caught onto. If you have a current address in Cali, and a car with Oregon plates, you are entitled to CA's smog laws.
