neverenough Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Learning from my past builds I know one thing is for sure. If it can be broken I am the guy to break it. That being said this is my second Ls powered Z and Im trying to make it as bullet proof as possible. I wanted to keep it looking like a street car and not a full blown back halved race car. Wheels are CCW 17x11 with Mickey Thompson 315-35-17 DR. Narrowed 9inch with Moser wavetrac and Strange 35 spline axles and of course some nice aerospace disc brakes. I have plenty of room for more tire should I choose to down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 With that much rubber, unflared, I don't think you can hide the fact it's a full blown back-halved race car. It looks amazing, but sorry, it's not a sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistafosta Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Looks good, very similar to my back half. Welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverenough Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wasn't going for the sleeper look but more of performance street car . There is no hiding there is something going on here lol. I was trying to stay away from the big tire track car look. It is flared but with subtle z rear quarters so it still looks stock or sort of stock.

I have no flares though, tucked it all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverenough Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Your car looks good. It was one of the pics that inspired me to go the route I have. When I say big tire track car I'm thinking those cars with 33inch slicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 About how long are the lower bars on each of your cars, and what do you use to locate the rear laterally? Diagonal link? Watts link? Can you count on an LSD to go straight with the front wheels up, or is a spool safer in that regard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking side exit right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much weight transfer was my issue there hahahahah. We got the car a little more stable now, but I'm about to add another 400hp so its gonna get hectic again I'm sure. Exhaust on my blower or turbo setup? Blower was duals out the back from shorties. Turbo is a split exhaust, I have a 4.5" dumped downpipe with a cap, and a 3.5" full length exhaust with a muffler. (I need to extend it though, it fills the car with fumes on decel atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNNY Z Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Loving the project. This is what I wish I would have done. ... Someday maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78 LS2 Z Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) If I start breaking axles I will go solid axle 8.8 and sell my TTT conversion. Hopefully it will last on sticky drag radials but I am worried with Ls2/cam/100 shot..I have some of the subtle z flares too (not installed) and have wondered whether the TTT setup can handle a bigger tire such as 275 drag radial or equivalent cheater slick. You have a very nice ride but definitely no sleeper but who cares. I like it and the intimidation factor.

mistafosta Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 If you have pics of both would love to see them. Find my build thread on here, most of the turbo stuff is on there. I realize that I actually don't think I ever got a picture of my blower exhaust. It was just your basic dual exhaust on a v8 Z though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
