Hello from Los Angeles

[Racer_Z_]

I've been a member here for several years now and decided it's high time to introduce myself.

My brother and I bought a 73 240z a few years ago, which is when I became a member here, for the purpose of building a track car (road racing). We have had it out to the track quite a few times since, and must say it feels right at home on the track. The first time out, we drove it in it's stock form including tire size and compound.

So far we've driven Willow Springs (big track and streets) and Buttonwillow, both are in Southern California close to where we live.

We are slowly converting over to a fully prepped, dedicated racer as time and money allows.

We need more pix!

Our second time at the track. We are getting ready for scales to measure the corner weights. The car is still stock except that we've replaced the tires and shocks and changed to lowering springs. Oh yeah, we changed over to polyurethane bushing too. The diagonal weights are within 30 pounds. My brother driving as 113, my number is 13. The track is Buttonwillow Raceway near Bakersfield, CA.

Since this picture we've gutted the car, lost about 120 pounds there. Added two racing seats and changed over to 15x7 rims with 225/50x15 tires. We also convert over to the Subaru STi LSD. As of this writing, we don't have any track time on the LSD.

Welcome to the forums Racer Z. I purchased STi companion flanges from Beta Motorsports as well, so I saw you before on HybridZ's group buy thread. I often go to Buttonwillow as well, great track. Just got back from my first experience at Laguna Seca yesterday, gotta say that's a whole other animal!

I've never driven Laguna Seca, some day perhaps. I've driven Willow Springs as well as Buttonwillow with the 240z. In my Dad's Alfa Romeo GTV, I've driven both those plus Spring Mountain in Pahrump, NV

Maybe someday our paths will cross.

Yes, I have the same user name at Hybrid Z and I bought the output shafts from John Coffee of Beta Motorsports. I was getting anxious waiting so long for them to be made, but it was worth the wait.
