VA Beach/Hampton Roads

Voice59 · 10-30-2013, 06:13 AM

For my wish list:

Phantom Cup kit (especially if I stay in VA)
TWM Short Shifter (possibly...doing research on cons)
Minor interior carbon fiber accents
GTR Plenum (if it proves to provide significant gains)
Sway bars (maybe)

and then I think I can call my build done...and move on to the Stingray (fingers crossed).

I drove a 370 with a short shifter. I usually like them. But I always kept shifting into second when I wanted fourth or I'd miss gears altogether and never get into one. It was a little irritating. On the z I think the normal shifter is just fine. But that's just my opinion.

I have a short shifter on my TC..... I love it. I had those issues in the beginning, but you just have to get a feel for the car. I'm more concerned about it ******* up syncho rev.

Don't disagree with that.
Especially considering the roads in our area.
That's why I'm not dropping my Z.
Keeping it at factory height even with the new coilovers.

I think I may have seen your car back in April or May at the package store by Norfolk base. Either that or someone else has a black Z with those wheels. That's highly unlikely though. The ONLY other black Z that I've seen other than that one...was running4mayors.

Wasn't me.
Haven't been around NOB in years.
I would be very surprised if another 370Z was running the same rims as me in our area. I'm running Volk Racing G2 Type 2s. They look like TE37s but there are differences like the VR stamp into one of the spokes like standard G2s. The Type 2s are rare and they cost more too. I don't think they make them anymore. Got mine used from another forum user. In the VIR pic I had the center caps removed.

You're probably right. I have the standard G2's. I really wish I got the rears with a little lip on it. Ah well.. Looks like a reason to get new wheels.

What are thinking of replacing your G2s with?

I'm toying with idea of getting a second set of Volks for the track.
18x10s on all four corners due to better rubber choices and being able to rotate the tires.
Considering the TE37SL Black Edition and TE37RT because of the available offsets.

I'm not sure. I like black wheels a lot.. but I'm thinking I might do something for the wheels to stand out. Not sure what though. IF I do end up getting wheels, I'll come up with something.
