RebekahsZ Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 See photo. Just a little inspiration for those who are up late trying to finish their conversions and those yet to begin. Tried to credit all who have made it possible, though I've undoubtably left folks out.

rags Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 What's with the question mark, Keith? I'm hurt that you weren't sure it was me that sold you the control arms! Well not really LOL Anyway, great shot of the car hooking! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's been a while and I wasn't sure I remembered correctly. Hey, if there are any z-folks up there in NJ damp and freezing to death; it would make for a long commute, but I got two empty bedrooms.

SUNNY Z Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) what was the 60'?.. the full time Edited November 5, 2012 by SUNNY Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) OK, SUNNY, it was 1.594, BARELY a 1.5 / mostly a 1.6 . The most recent 60' times are listed to 3 decimal points in my Motorsport thread, second to last post. You still got me beat by a wide margin! I'll post some 1/4-mile times on Sunday-hoping to be going thru the traps a few rpms below the rev-limiter. It will be my first time over 100mph on bias plies with 14psi in them. Expecting it to be a handful. Edited November 5, 2012 by RebekahsZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfritts911 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Think I'm giving in and going solid axle. 8.8 out of a foxbody will fit stock length(Only an inch or 2 wider), so 8.8 with a torque arm setup like the F-bodys, Watts link for lateral location, some universal(QA1 probably) coil overs. Should fit with minimal body hacking, and should still handle well and launch good. Plus without the strut towers I will be able to tuck a WIDE tire out back(Can you say don't dig race me on the street?). I want to stay with the IRS setup, but it just costs too much to make "strong", the solid 8.8 can be made "bullet-proof" for pretty cheap. Plus I already have a 31 spline trac-lok and some 4.10 gears. The only thing I absolutely don't like about the SRA is the unsprung weight compared to the IRS goes waaaayyyyy up, and with a light car like the Z's, I'm hoping it doesn't try to through it around too much. Either way I'll be able to dump the clutch at 5 grand on some slicks and that will make everything else ok . -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
