  1. Hey Jarrod, You may have said whether you were gonna have your car at the show in Nashville, I can't remember? I'm from up in Bristol, Va.
  2. has set their status

  3. Does anyone know what type seats & carpet ROVdriver is using in his car? I sent him a PM a week ago but haven't gotten a response. Thanks
  4. Nice setup/combination Brian, How much did you section from your struts? Any rubbing issues at all? 16 x 8's front and back right? Do you remember the backspacing on your wheels? Bryan
  5. Hey Kevin, Did you use any kind of spacer on your redrilled rears to even it up with the 3/4" difference in front? This is a great writeup, definitely a sticky candidate! Thanks Bryan
  6. I have researched this til my head hurts but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. So any opinions are welcome. I'm getting ready to put all of my front suspension back together and need to make a decision about installing the bump steer spacer and/or any other mod to make my set-up work correctly. This will be a street driven car and very "calmly" at that. Here are the facts: 1) I have sectioned my strut tubes by 1 7/8" and using KYB strut inserts. 2) I'm using 10" QA1 coils, 175lb-rear, 150lb-front. 3) 5" sleeves - the bottom is mounted 5.25" from the casting in front, 7.25" in the rear. 4) I will be using 17" wheels with 4 to 5 lug adaptors. 5) I want to wind up with the car lowered around 2". I have read all the issues concerning bump steer etc. and the control arm pivot relocation. So with my intended use, what other issues or concerns do you guys see that I should address? Thanks for any suggestions Bryan
  7. Hey Dizzle, Where do you get the 1/8" Sentra and about how much does it cost? Great work! Thanks Bryan
  8. I was reading a post by "Here Comes Trouble" in "The Strut Thread" in which he suggested using VW Jetta GR2 strut cartridges in the front of a 280Z with 2" sectioned tubes and using the front 280Z cartridges in the rear. Does anyone know which (year) VW Jetta GR2's to ask for? These would be KYB's. This 75 Z will be strictly street & show and I'm trying to get a good stance (lowered) and a good ride. I'm basically using the exact same components in the "Brians Garage" write up. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/6212/coilover/coilover.htm I'm using 10" QA1 springs - 150lb rear & 125lb front and intend to cut out a 2" section from the tubes. I can't remember if I have 5 or 7" sleeves. Thanks for any help, suggestions, warnings, watchout fors etc. Bryan
  9. Hey Wedge, (or anyone else) Does anyone have a contact for the owner of the car with the leather cover. Just wanted to see how much it cost him to have it done etc. I've been planning that very same thing for my 75. Thanks
  10. Hey Bryan, What year car are you pulling from? Pic maybe? Thanks

    That looks awesome! How bout some more photos? What kind of seats are they? Is that leather? Thanks
  12. Does anyone know if there is more documentation on Joels swap? Build photos etc. That is really slick. Wonder what year 240SX the dash came from?
  13. Hey Xander, How about a couple of pics of your S30 with the Fiero seats? I have a set that I was going to install in my 75 but they seem to be to wide (including the mechanism). Later
  14. O.K., I was really confused. The swastikas are what I have. That's what you are looking for right? BTW, I'm in Bristol, Va.
