TomsCoupe Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 Let's go back to the part where we were talking about my car being a beast on the streets of Chicago! I like that part. haha what kind of gas milage do you get when you lay off the boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 hehe gas mileage? right now my a/f ratio is like 10:1 below 3500 rpms, so gas mileage is kinda out the window. but thats the stock fuel map for ya. had to richen the whole map with adjustable FPR in order to get it safe on the top end. So the good side is there aren't any gas fumes when I'm hitting 15 psi! Maybe some clutch fumes . . . I'm headed back to the track tonight so I'm hoping for a 12.5 wish me luck!

And I just wish I had the cash for 17" wheels and tires. Oh well, I justify not getting them because my factory 14x6"s and 15x6.5"s weigh next to nothing, and I can get drag radials and slicks to fit them.

jvanen Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hey I just had to throw my 2 bits in on this. I think what constitutes a "Rice bucket" are the cars that are setup to look fast but can't back it up aka Posers. Lots of different tastes out there which is no prob, but all show and no go is what I think is a waste. Another thought... if we aren't ricers then are we Hot Rodders? hehehe Whats in a name....... Boost on, Johnny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Rice Rodders, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I think for each hybrid z guy out there, there is someone who thinks whatever you are doing constitutes Rice Rocket. Test this theory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JAMIE T Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I've got 18x9.5's for my 240Z. When I'm out bruising ego's, the first person who hollars "Rice" gets their nuts cut out... 400 HP LT1, 6 spd, 13" brakes, fully adjustable suspension(in EVERY direction), 2500lb car. Haters can get some. I'll have a sample of my suspension/brakes/wheels at Mike Kelly's on the 15th. The car will be set on KILL by late August.

Guest iskone Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hell Yeah I can'y wait till I get my Z built, I want to take it down to cali next year. Sometimes all I can think about is when I have my Z I'll eat all the other cars on the road, at least that's what I thought when I seen a 360 Modena cruising down the street yesterday.

Guest JAMIE T Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hell Yeah! And I'm not kidding. Thanks Mat, I might use that as my slogan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Jumping back to the original topic: unless properly done, 18" wheels look gaudy on a Z. FWD offset wheels with very little rubber look odd on a Z because it doesn't have the right stance with them. IMO (mine!) the Z looks good with a chunk of rubber and 0 offset wheels. I specifically like BBS Y spoke wheels (LM series) with 0 offset. In 16"-17, those would be perfect for my car in silver or black with silver rim. As it stands right now, I think it has the right stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Auxilary, That is a fine looking Z. BTW, My 18'a AREN'T FWD offset. They have almost a 4" lip. I can't post pics right now, my front suspension is out of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Jamie, I wasn't referring to your car. I was talking about 18s on Z cars in general. I've seen my share of ugly setups on Zs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 just thought I'd show how my "ugly FWD 0 offset" wheel stance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I wish i could afford to get BBS LMs for my z, their my favorite rims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Taylor Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I dunno, I've always liked how my car looks with 18's. Never heard anyone say they are ricy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
