Chubbs

Hmmm, for now it'll just be new rotors and some Hawk or EBC pads. 17's really? I love the way these cars look with some meaty sidewalls, was planning on just running the 225/45R15 since plenty of DOT sticky tires available, Rivals, R1, RS-3 ETC ETC They might be ZG IDK, they are kinda wavy and look somewhat cheap. Had a buddy with a Z and had the wide ZG flares and his looked a lot more professional. Nice! That's all we do here is make downpipes for the 335's and newer Turbo BMW's (AR Design). Yeah I know E30, E36, and E46 BMW's inside and out with my eyes closed but simple things on the Z like proper wheel fitment, removing tail lights etc having to google hahaha

Hey guys thought I'd introduce myself. Name's Critter or Chubbs. Just picked up my first 240Z and new to the whole Japanese car world. The last 8 years of my life has been spent driving BMW M3's. I've owned multiple E36 M3's from stock to 700whp turbo to GTS track cars and a couple E46 M3's as well so I'm no noob to RWD performance cars but lately I've grown to love the styling and raw character of the 240Z. It's come time in my life to buck up and buy my own house so I was looking for something somewhat beat up that's cheap and can always use work if I am bored and looking for something to do. I work at a shop here in Denver and quite a few of the guys are Japanese car guys so I've got a lot of excellent skills around to help with whatever I want to tackle. Picked up this 72 240Z 4spd. It's got some rust on the floor boards, leaks like a siv, and rattles like a marching band but in the few miles I've driven it it's been an absolute blast. 10 minutes into owning it, it broke down on me and the jank Electric fuel pump the PO had installed took a shit. Ran to auto parts store and an hour later wallah back to running. I'll have to go over the wiring and wire it in correctly on a relay or switch but for now I just wanted it running! Pulled the tail light surround and sprayed it black as I think they look much more aggressive not body colored So now it's time to do some research on wheel/tire fitment with the ZG Flares (Not entirely sure mine are ZG, may sell these and buy the actual ZG flares). Trying to decide between 15's and 16's but it looks like either way I'll go with 9" wide and a 25mm spacer on the rear and 12mm spacer in the front? Plans are to fix the floor boards, slowly start to tackle the body and have it resprayed, and throw on some suspension. Thinking Tokico struts and Swift springs cut down to fit ride height as I'm too poor for the full T3 coilovers right now. Any idea on spring rates? Then wheels/sticky rubber and some brake work and drive the piss out of it. Here's a quick picture of my daily driver And a quick picture of some of the work we do at the shop Have so much to learn on these bad boys, don't flame too hard if I can't find info and ask a question for the millionth time
