bjhines Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Do you see many classics from Japan over there??? It would seem that you could keep them rust free for decades with little cover... My project car came frmo the Arizona desert and was previously driven in SoCal... It is one of the best chassis I have ever seen... but a rare find in the states due to the low population in the desert areas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 they are around but you have to look for them....at least that was the way in Saudi. You guys in K.C. should have a good collection of exotics......a lot of money running around in that town.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 well the wheels thing is a huge question for me now....i dont know what to do!! should i stick with these?? should i get a set of WELD drag lites?? Welds wheels would look great on your car and are very moderatly priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Welds?? i would say 15*8 with 4.5BS?? and 15*5 with 3.5BS?? would that fit on stock suspension?? tires, im thinkin M/Ts 235 60 15s? and have no idea about the font tires... what do you think ?

gretchen/jason Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 id like to ask about the hood , the cowl induction i have a fiberglass hood with a built in cowl scoop on mine . The scoop i have is only 4 3/4 inches tall inside and i want a taller one . Where did you purchase youres or did you have it fabed up just for youre z . Ive tried every thing i can to find a taller one with no luck but youres seems to fit really good . Even if i have to do some trimming id still like to know whereya got youres .

stony Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I just scanned the rest of this thread after i saw the front air dam.... where did you get it. I have never seen that style before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 jason, the hood is costum made too, its a mustang scoop actually, fabricated a fiberglass mustang scoop, cut it in the middle, had a fiberglass piece that goes between the 2 sides so i could have a wider scoop, then installed it on the stock hood, stony, its costum made for my Z, its a mix of 2 or 3 airdams, told the fiberglass guy here in kuwait that i want something special, and he came up with this and i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 becareful over time with the sun,sand and shamals that hood might crack if it spends a lot of time outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 dont worry, my Z is well covered inside my garage, it will see no sun or sand unless i'm drivin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY77Z Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 i like those wheels, gold will be perfect on a black Z and im digging the lip too, but shipping will kill me, i pay 50 bucks for every 10LBs....how much do they weight in 16s ???? dont wanna pay 400 for the set and 500 for the shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 16*8s weight 16.3lbs each, thats 65lbs without packing, i'll say 70lbs with packing....shippin to kuwait will coast me about 385 bucks i wanna live in the states, much much cheaper to get my parts.
