dailydrifter Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Though not nearly as nice as a lot of the cars on this site, I thought people would still like to see some shots of another classic Z car. I took these today with a friend, it's amazing what a difference a new lens can do. The car is my daily, and of course is still a work in progress. Hopefully I will be able to to migrate into the RB forum as I have a RB25 swap in the works. Despite a badly leaking radiator and leaking fuel line, the car got around all day without any hiccups. Hope you guys like the shots, thanks for looking. Hey DeLorean, Nice car and nice pix! I'm guessing you're shooting with either a prime lens with low aperture or a nice zoom lens. You may wanna bup up your aperture on some of the pix. The bokeh is blurring out the car and focusing on the pavement near the car. Either way, hot car and I love the pix good work!

mario_82_ZXT Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Just got it going! Removed the triples it came with and put SUs and it still wouldn't run right, ended up being a bad coil. Rebuilding the webers before they go back on. Getting some food with my friend's 3l NA Megasquirted car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_82_ZXT Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 15x14 rear and 15x10 front, BBS 3 piece wheels, perfectly straight, no dings. Barrels need polishing as the AL has oxidized and some of the gold powdercoat might be chipping, the car was sitting for an eternety it seems. All in all they are just plain dirty! I'd love to keep them but no one makes good street tires in that size anymore. It's got 295/50R15s in the back and they are stretched, the size to run is 345/35R15s (like off a Countach) but they're $600 a tire. Here's the triples. I put on a spare set to drive it home and it's got 3 bolt SUs on it now. Bonus donut's in the white Z video: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Had $500.oo in parts to redo and polish mine. You can also purchase different hoops (inner and outer wheel parts) to change the width and offset. If you are not interested in keeping them let me know. I may know someone interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) I'd love to keep them but no one makes good street tires in that size anymore. It's got 295/50R15s in the back and they are stretched, the size to run is 345/35R15s (like off a Countach) but they're $600 a tire. those tires look ancient. On another note you may have problems finding someone to mount tires on 3 piece wheels as they can leak air through seams and can tear up the bead on the tire if not installed correctly. Too bad they don't make any BFG's in that size anymore, you could always have some skinner pieces made for the wheel.
