Guest 421 Z Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I am new here but not new to Z cars, I have been building this 73 240Z since 1989. I welcome any questions you may have and look forward to learning as well. I want to thank Turbo Meister Hanns for encouraging me to join up with the forum. All the best!

OlderThanMe Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 search for this program "Irfanview" on gogle and download it. You can downsize photos for the web and you can downgrade the quality to make the picture file sizes smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 421 Z Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 wow your rotors really fill up that rim space! that sh*t must have the minimum clearance...looks great though! Thanks man! I went to long beach & pomona swap meets for 3 years to find these vintage 5 spokes...I don't even want to remember how much coin I spent fitting these on the car without mixing up a few doubles... custom hubs, roll & tuck fender wells, repaint, weld and redrill stud holes, polish original 1968 cast finish...$$$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Welcome to hybridz. Sorry if I wasn't specific enough on info to allow you to post your pics but I just thought they were regular size. Anyway you are here now. I'm really impressed with your paintjob. Looking at it last Sunday at The MSA show I had no idea the Z was painted way back in 1989. Did you install the new strut bar yet? Be sure to let me know when you are going to the track with that monster. I might give you a few car lengths. Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Red Z too, I was talking to turbo meister and we agreed that red is one of the best color on a Z j/k.........I like all Z's no matter what color they are!
