Carlisle import show

[Grant83]

Anyone plan on attending? I'm hoping I can see lots of 240z's there and get firedup to get my project going full steam. Maybe even get my first ride in one. It's been two years of ownership and I haven't even put the engine in. Gotta keepthe dream alive.

i'll be there friday and saturday... but without the z.

Bringing this down for the weekend. Looking forward to seeing some nice Zs. Just a driver's seat so unless you want to do what they did back in the day (throw a blanket in the seat well and hang on to the cage for dear life) I won't be able to give you a ride.

[Grant83]

I'll look forward to getting a peak at a race prepped Z. I'm sure I'll find the re-engineering fascinating. I am always curious about how to make a Z faster and handle better. Safe travels gnosez hopefully I get to meet you there.

I haven't decided if I'm going yet or not. I'd like to go, but I've got a time conflict with another car show that might make it impossible for me.

FYI, Here's Carlisle's site for the event:

Import & Kit Nats

Still hoping to go, but don't know yet...

John,

What size wheels are on that Z? I have a set of similar BBS-RS 15" that are 12" wide.

I need an outer lip 6-5/8" to make a set as 1 is missing a chunk o' aluminum.

Grant83 - whether Z or not there are several ways to make a car faster - more HP, lose weight, suspension set-up, tires and most important of all, a fast driver. I am semi-fast.

Blue - during vintage events we are required to run 15X7 so it's 225 all around and a double set of wheel spacers in the back. Still looks like crap. The ones in the rear in the photo are 15X10 and you can get a replacement inner or outer lip, those special bolts and o-rings from (okay, I'm having a senior moment)....I will look in my extensive invoice file later today and report back.

Looks like I have a green light from the boss. I'll be there in my green 240z. It's about a 2hr drive for me from McLean, VA so I should arrive between 0800-0900hrs.

I thought Z's worked best with slightly wider track in the front? Also I read that same tire sizes are best? Any insight?
