Thanks, The rims are 17x8 not 8.5. Looks like I will be ordering rims! Thanks again Adam

Hello all, I'm looking to buy some rims and need a quick answer. Will a 5" backspacing work? The rims aere 17x8 5" backspacing 4-4.25/4.5 bolt center. I have coil-overs, no flares. thanks Adam

Just getting ideas on rims. How many are running 14, 15, 16 or 17" rims Have not seen this poll. Adam

That great, have not been reading alot lately , just been doing. It is alway great to see something in the flesh/real. Myself I'm always changing that is my problem, but I think I'm coming to the end. I only hope! Keep on changing rice is nice and craziness is not bad . Adam

Do you have the JTR Book or something close? You can do it cheap or spend a lot of time and money. Adam have fun do it safe but wild

Me sad but thats ok, looks like I need different calipers. So, I guess it is spacers and new rims and tires. Then after May I will get the brakes. i'm getting ready to try to paint again, but with a suprise, i just hope it works. having fun adam

Got a question, I have (85?) toyota 4x4 front calipers and using the stock rotor (72 240). Will the z31 rotors (5lug) work with my calipers or do I need a different ones? Thanks Adam

Thanks, I have e-mailed Ross. Waiting for reply. Adam

Hello Hybriders, I need some help, with all the different types of combos for the rear, I do not know which way to go. This is what I have: Front Toy 4x4 front brakes with stock rotors. Rear drum. I have coil overs but not on yet. I would like to go 8x 17" rims Who could give the best price for converting the rear to disc? Would 5 lug be the best way to go? Does someone have a total list of parts needed to do the conversion. Please advise, got 1 1/2 months to get this beast back on the road for Mermorial Day Cruise/show in Everett Wa. Lots to due with little time, just sold one of my toys so I can do the brakes/5 lug? Thanks all Adam

Thanks, " Adam, if you dont mid me asking, how did you do the side pipes, like what were some steps, and costs..." HueJass, The side pipes are from JEGS and just bought their sidepipe kit. It is a very tight fit next to the underbody. If I broke a motor mount I would probably brake a header. I welded a couple of brackets to the side pipes and bolted throught the floor of the car. Been the side pipes for two years and no problems. Cost about $300 http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1287&prmenbr=361 http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1291&prmenbr=361 Have a great day and keep on Z-ing Adam

8) My car is changing again. Check out the new scoopy look. http://www.geocities.com/madmanadam/Process2002/2002-process.html or http://www.madmanadam.com -Adam

, Got home last night and no more then 5 min the UPS showed up with my coil-overs. Thanks Ross C. Now it is time to take the car apart again. How many have the coil-overs from Ross C. of Modern-motorsport? Is there anything I need to watch for when installing? How long did it take to convert? Just had to share. Enjoy, be happy, live long Thanks Adam

I'm running Dyno Max 54" sidepipes with 26" tires and no grinding. I had a problem at first with hitting speed bumps then I moved them closer to the body and taller tires. But when I do the Coil-overs (thanks Ross) soon I will need to think it all over. I too was thinking of putting them in the rocker panels, since I have 2x3 angle running the door jam for support. www.madmanadam.com Adam

Thank you, now I need to talk the wife into letting me buy one. Emmisions is not an issue, trip pass for another year then no more emmision. -Adam

Not Z related Can anyone help? What would be a good carb for a 1978 440? Right now it has a Thermoquad and looking to up grade. Thanks Adam

I have the 4x4 toy on my 72. they work great. The only other thing is that you will need to trim the dust sheild and bend the line a bit. other wise straight bolt up. -Adam
