Long Beach Grand Prix is April 13, Tudor United Sportscar runs Saturday and I am busy. Maybe before that?

I think a spring meet up would be cool.
I bet I can keep up in the twisties

I drive my car quite often. I try to switch every two weeks are so.
I wanted to put the turbo back on, but there's no good place to run it hard for tuning.
So now I'm thinking of just leaving it NA, or until I win the lotto and just buy a lambo.. LoL

Good to hear Michael. When you say lottery I mean powerball and when you say lambo I say zonda (or konessigg)!

bring it on smalls

turbo!
I'm working on a new tuning option for us. you might like it.

rglbegl

Oh, it's being brought . ... or whatever.
Do we need to compare car stats before we do this?

Jake are you driving the Corvette on Saturday?

rglbegl

I haven't owned a Corvette in almost 20 years

Jedi54

I think you mean Porsche

I can't believe Jedi is offering up a street race.
Oh well, lets go with it

I could smoke you in Steph's car (The Toyota, not the Lexus)
And you would have no chance if I was in my car.





Side note, Will Lespers Volks fit the Z?

looks like fun but my RX8 is down for repairs and out of commission (needs smog) till I get this cast off.

Yes they do but when I have 9" in the front and 10" in the back why would I want to go to 8.5" all around, besides for the look. The "Will it fit?" thread - Page 20 - Nissan 370Z Forum

OK I saw your post, guessing it was in jest.

Jedi54

rgl: I'm just messin' with ya

loren: easier to rotate / handling is hy you'd want that but 8.5 is too small anyways. stick with your staggered setup.

do you know the specs on your Z's wheels?
9 x ___? offset? tire size?
10 x ___? offset? tire size?

just wondering how similar they are to mine

Original Equipment Front: 245/40-19 19x9 +47
Original Equipment Rear: 275/35-19 19x10 +30
I think, what are yours?

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Front: 19x8.5 + 38 on 245/35
Rear: 19x10 +42 on 275/30

z's definitely run lower offsets on the rears. Seems like you're also running slightly meatier tires.

I am in fear of when I need new tires.

So I am slightly wider and you are slightly lower profile? One could teach a college class just on wheel and tire sizes for cars.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

ya, Porsches have big *** tires. Those wont be cheap.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Your front wheel is wider (by .5 inches) but since we both have 245 wide tires that wont be very noticeable because of my lower offset. Your 40 vs my 35 means your tire is 'taller' in relation to mine but not by much.

as for the rears: wheel / tires are almost the same, you just have a much lower offset.

basically you could run my setup but I'd probably need to tweak my rear camber to accomodate that +30

ya, this crap gets complicated after a while.

rglbegl

Great calculator if you ever want to see what differences are made where

that offset you speak off is the position of the center hub of the wheel with regards to the inside and outside of the rim edge (how deep a wheel is basically)?

Jedi54

yup

OK so since we are talking about wheels (I wont be getting new ones anytime soon) but what is your opinion of the Volk GT-S Black spokes with either a silver lip or white lip vs. Vossen VVSCV3 in grey or silver?
