BAINATSEABOARD Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Thanks for all of the great comments. This car started out to be a beater that I could track and not worry about about scratches, dirt or how it looked... Something went wrong, very very wrong with that idea.... I have tried several times to post pics but the server gives me an error message every time. The front info that Tom posted is right on. Roddy did a nice job. There were a lot of things for him to try to bring together to make the nose work. The ride height is 4 1/2 front and 5 rear. The tires on the rear are 315/35/17 bfg's There is aluminum reinforcement inside the fiberglass rear hatch to support the downforce that the wing creates. It sits on the rear of the car frame where the original latch would have been located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh817 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 So... Can an R200 diff. handle a V8? Is it strong enough? I'm worried about blowing it up. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Are those the Rotas from the group buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAINATSEABOARD Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yes the r200 can handle the power unless you are drag racing. The wheels are the rotas from the group buy. I am happy with the deal that was offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proxlamus© Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 are those normal ZG flairs or the big ones offered by S30zforce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonTX Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 That engine bay is SWEET. Thats exactly the look im going for. All aluminum, with a black block. I like that remote oil filter, thats a nice spot for the filter. I assume the cooler in front of the radiator is an oil cooler, correct? That sure does block a big spot of the radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAINATSEABOARD Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 are those normal ZG flairs or the big ones offered by S30zforce? They are the wide zg flares that s30force offers. Took a while to get them but the quality is excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 They are the wide zg flares that s30force offers. Took a while to get them but the quality is excellent! They sure look nice on your car. Must have had them worked over first. I guess your luck is better than mine. I bought a pair of the wide rears that came to me looking like dog sheit. I send them back just to get another pair of crap. He then offers to hush me up I guess, by sending me a full set of his CF wide flares. Well, you don't see them on my car.... you guessed it... I'd have to have a paint guy work them over, and put paint on them to hide the shotty quality. Don't ask about the $6,000+ worth of LCA's, paid in full for, a bunch of us never received, going on a year now. Sorry to mention this in your thread, but seeing that name just does something to me now.. 280zForce ... aka Z Force Productions ... hmmm I absolutely love how your Z turned out BAINATSEABOARD !!

MoNkEyT88 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I am unaware of rota wheel problems. Could you tell me more about the problems? Well, the story around the internet is that people have been breaking some of the rota models in crashes. Now, personally I believe that if you are smacking a curb at 40mph most wheels will be damaged. Some even claim that pot holes broke the wheels, but again that is what they claim, nobody wants to admit they were trying to do a sweet drift and under steered into a curb. Obviously Rotas are cheaper than other wheels, which may be because they use less quality control in the casting areas and inspection, or perhaps because they are made in such high volume. No idea. If you're a hard core track driver you expect to brake things. If you go off track and break some wheels, I'm guessing you also have a bit more to repair because of the accident.

Sparks280zt Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Just google Rota failure and you can read about it. BUT I haven't seen a failure post since 2005 or so, maybe they fixed the issue. I bought a set as well so I am not hating o you, just curious to your opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
