Check out this audi Video. One of my favorites! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6369021561677387492&q=audi+turbo Btw, my other car is an audi. Not sure when it will be finished.

Heres a very good video from topgear of a Evo vs a Lambo.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbdgNna5Ne0

BTW, how much does the engine and transmission weigh? Regards, Justin

Could the motor be mounted lower? Justin

No, the 300 NA has a R200 VLSD. The 300ZX TT has a R230 VLSD. The R230 is stronger for the recorder!

I think they are just making a 993TT clone.

You're gonig to use less heat for a given piece of stainless compared to mild. Regards, Justin

Sparks, I shot you a PM on those MSA street flares. Justin

Well, let me clarify a bit more. I'm looking for road race wheels that are 15" X 10". I'm planning on running the new hoosier 275/35/15 road race radials. Thanks for the information so far. Justin

Is this a daytime only car? Are you just going to leave headlights out of it? Looks very sharp! Justin

What is the overall diameter of Arizona Z car 12.2 brakes with the calipers? Regards, Justin

I'm looking at running the arizona Z car and I'm wonder what 15" wheel options are available that clear these brakes. I'm looking for a set of street wheels that are 15"X8" wheels for the street and a set of 15"X10" wheels for the track. I'm going to run coilovers so backspacing needs to be around 5". Regards, Justin

Here are some MAS flares that are very affordable. $59 for front flares $69 for the rears(fronts not shown):

I too waste so much time on the computer that I would be better off working on projects. Justin

Sorry to bump this old thread. Does anyone know if Arizona Z car 12" brakes will clear diamon racing 15"X10" wheels?

What brake setup would you put on a car with this wheel/tire setup? Stock? Toyota 4X4? Custom?

Well, I really need to get a spare EFI manifold from Paul. I just haven't come out to Sandy recently. Supposably I'm going to be coming up on friday to go skiing. We'll see. Justin

The flange will be around $125. I'll also be doing a plenum base similar to Ron Tylers current intake manifold project. Not sure how much that will be. Regards, Justin

Here is the e-mail response I recieved back from http://www.autobrakeworks.com/datsun.htm " Hi Justin, Photos attached. We have changed and improved a few things on the hat. Hats are made smaller and also have taps inserted into the aluminum which is then strengthen with helicoil inserts. So there is no need for nuts to hold on the rotor. Just the bolt. Another thing.. The caliper you will receive are Wilwood's latest forged Superlites. The one shown are their old Superlite 2a which they don't make anymore. I can accept paypal,credit card, or money order Juan Henriquez 910 19th St. #2 Watervliet NY 12189 Paypal or credit card can be done through my website checkout. Thanks for your interest. "

If you can get me a gasket, I will have a couple of these flange made up. The shouldn't be more then $15-20 a piece. It would take a couple weeks to make it happen. Regards, Justin

Well this idea is back in the works. I have sent the cylinder head to the machinist. I have to source a EFI intake manifold to send him for a template. I should have the flange design finished by the end of the month. Justin

Thanks for the insight into this. Does my setup look ok? I'm not trying to conquer the world, but just want a solid setup that is adjustable. Regards, Justin

I've been reading “Engineer to Win” by Carroll Smith. In the suspension section he talks about loaded length and free length of springs. “Another side of the same coin is the fact that we wish to be pushing each of our tires into the track with as much force as we can arrange at all times. IF a spring is so short as to uncouple in some combination of droop and roll, then that tire is unloaded at a time when the spring could have been loading it. This can lead to such things as partial loss of traction at one end of the car and inside wheelspin.” I’m curious what free length is acceptable so that the springs stay engaged at full droop. I’m looking at running the following combination. I want to run 8” rear springs to get the spring collar above my rear tire. Will this give me trouble? Any suggestions?
