Inkey$ I've got another Z pics on pg2 pic heavy

Post by Darren Slone » Thu Jun 02, 2016 8:45 pm

Changed the Standard wheels and Trims over to 15" American Racing Slots for the impending Classic Le Mans Trip, for a couple of reasons, but mainly, the OEM trims are around £800 for a set and like hens teeth, didn't want to lose one on the trip or have any nicked whilst it's parked up! :D

Thank you Lee, you're a proper gent :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to the Le Mans trip, its MOT time this coming Friday along with oil and BF, plus a good check over, the furthest I've been in it so far is the NEC so 140 mile round trip, Le Mans will be 1000+ so I'll see how good it is then :D :driving:

I've just bought a new set of wheels for the 240Z, they're called Rota and essentially a Minilite copy, the JDM cars have very similar wheels called Wantanabe's but they're very rare and expensive, the Slots sold immediately on a specialist forum and have gone to a new home in France :driving:

Next steps are to fit some lowering springs, just 1", which I'm having made, and a larger front sway bar and a rear, which I have and will get installed in the next week or so when its MOT time, USA spec cars are quite soft and don't particularly like corners :lol:

I've ordered some lowering springs Bing, they're being made as we speak, they will take it down just over an inch :thumbsup: 8)
