NATURALLYASPIRATED Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It snowed in Nashville, a decent amount which was no big deal to me being originally from michigan but it was definitely a surprise! So i took some pics of the Z and took it for a drive to see how well it goes about in the snow.... Not so good, not the worst but not so good. I figured it would at least do as well as my girlfriends 944, but it didnt. which i have to say her car does amazing in the snow, which is a plus when i go back home for holidays i have something fun to drive around in and scare everyone in! Hope you enjoy Dont make fun of my wheel gap, i have coilspring set up on front but need to put on my new crossmember so i can lower it low, and waiting to get springs for the rear so i can finish the back..

lowrider Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 We also got some snow here in Knoxville. Its times like these that im glad i have a 4 wheeler! Unfortunately the two Zs' were sitting outside the shop...so they saw the wrath of the blizzard of 2010! lol How much did you end up getting in Nashville? We got around 4-5 inches here.

NATURALLYASPIRATED Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah we got about the same, 4 - 5 inches! yeah i wish i owned a 4 wheeler haha! Nice z's by the way, but yeah the roads are terrible because there melted but froze and its a sheet of ice over the parts still frozen so hills are no fun! and they have formed to the road so theres the dips in the road which cause you to slip and slide more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roads were pretty bad here sunday morning. Eventually the sun came out and melted the majority of it, the roads are crytal clear now. Thanks man, they would be alot nicer if they were in the shop! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hey we have the same Supra wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATURALLYASPIRATED Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 The supra rims haha, actually the pull a part by me has a car with the staggard ones the skinnier ones up front and the 14x7 rear! If I had the money I would go get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stravi757 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nice Porsche, How do you like it. Thats the next car I want to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Did you have to hobble out the center hole for your front ones...? The spindles on my Z were just a little too big so the wheel wouldn't go all the way on. I had to take a dremel and grind away. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATURALLYASPIRATED Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Yeah. I love the Porsche it's one of my favorite cars now! I wish it was a turbo but I'll take the better gas mileage for now, really though I would love a 968 944 300 hp naturally aspirated 6 spd with better handling then the one I have now, which is another thing I love about this car! As far as working on it, it's German so that in mind it's really not that bad.. When you get one you will love it - stravi I'm not sure, those rims came with my z I just painted them, there is a small spacer on mine that might be what he did I never really look to detailed at it, if I had the money I wanna get some konig rewinds, and when I do I would give them to you for racing spares there really good rims though I like them! - Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATURALLYASPIRATED Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 You know what though, they do fit tightly on there, I realized what you asked now haha yeah the spacer is for the brakes. I have the 4 piston 4 runner brKes on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 That's good news!!!! I was getting worried that mine wouldn't fit and then I'd be left with disassembled brakes and a rush to find 15" wheels! Are you running the vented rotor? If the fronts fit then surely the rear 280zx calipers I have will work in the back... Perhaps you take off one of your wheels and measure one of the spacers... Haha Here is the stock slot mag: Here is the hobbled Supra: I should take it to the machine shop to have them machined properly. As of right now, Discount Tire refuses to do anything other than put a tire on and balance it. They won't bolt them up because they don't want the liability. When I went in they were like ARE YOU NUTS?! THIS WHEEL IS GOING TO WOBBLE! And I was like uh not if you balance it after you mount the tire, besides these wheels have seen 145mph so far and no crazy vibrations. :] I'm running the 14 x 8 ones. I heard from some dudes at the track that they may not be good for road racing because they flex but I think they're just whiney babies. Perhaps we should PM so I don't screw up your thread. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few Z guys in Middle Tennessee, we just seem to be a quite bunch. I am in the Boro, and I am down for a Z club, although one already exist, http://www.middletennesseezclub.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
