OldAndyAndTheSea Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Took a picture of the 280zx sitting outside after the storm. It was a busy day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Tight fitment, just the way I like it; Rear Front The rears are 17x10 +18 with a 1.5in spacer (effectively -20). the fronts are 17x9 +22 with a 1.75in spacer and a 7mm slip on spacer (effectively -20) And I could probably do away with the extra 7 mm spacer. Tires are Hankook RS-3's, 235/45/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duragg Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Adapted 280ZX parking brake cable to my 1973 240. Fair amount of drilling, tweaking, shaving and the geometry isn't perfect but it should hold, while probably not lockup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLATA Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Nice Fiat. My Lady has a red 500 Lounge with a red top. A really sweet car to drive. Yep, they are lots of fun and good mpg's, I have done some mods and if I don't drive her ( her name is Mocha ) like a go kart ,she gets close to 40 mpg.

Dan_Austin Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Full brake system upgrade. AZC 12.2" with Wilwood four piston 1.62" calipers up front, Silvermine Motors stage 4 in the rear and a WIlwood 1" master cylinder to push fluid. I threw in new front wheel bearings while I was there. She's not much to look at, but there is no rust, the suspension & all bushings were refreshed three years back, a rebuilt L28ET this year with a Megasquirt sequencer. Now that the brakes are done, body work and paint can finally be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
