Anyone in S.California have spare rims I can rent?
 

I know its unlikely but my car is going in for paint on Tuesday and it will be gone for 2 weeks. I want to get my rims powder coated when its in the shop so I can put it all together when I get it back on 12/31 or sooner.

So...I you have a set of rims/tires locally, I'll pick them up and pay you to borrow. Car will only be rolled around the shop and I'll make sure they stay perfect. Don't care what size, dont care if they are scratched up.

I only need them for about a week but need them soon.

Thank you!!!!

Something cheap, I found out we have the same bolt pattern as Mustang and some other American cars. You can easily find some tiny wheels on craigslist with the same bolt pattern, since I assume the brakes and all will be off so you can easily grab a set of 13" wheels and be fine (maybe 15" since 13" might not get the car elevated enough).

Adam you know if the Z wasn't my dd I'd let you borrow mine. But I can't be rolling around with no tires lol. Meanwhile I'm interested to come up to chino hills to see the final product of even during the production of your crazy matte black Z.

if you said South JERSEY instead of California, I would've given you my sports pack wheel for a week (or as long as you need them). :(

^ another reason why you should relocate to S. Calif :D

:iagree:

Thanks guys! No worries, worst case I'll do it when the cars done. The wheel guy said he needs 3 days. I'm already bummed my car's going away.

Alright AK, time for you to man up and get out here. CA is the place you ought to be, I'll even help you find a job! :happydance:

Thanks again for the connection KillerBee, I emailed those guys for some input on the Turbo's etc. Hopefully they can help. I dropped your name hoping for some kind of deal...it better work!!! HAAHHAA

It'll work... just mention the yellow Zzzzzzzzzzz! :tup:

Hey KillerBee I saw a picture of a yellow Z just like yours on Tanabe's pictures with their new springs, IS THAT YOUR CAR? sorry sorta thread jacking lol

Link? I dunno. Probably.

Killerbee needs to start getting a licensing fee :)

You're not kidding.

Stillen
Tanabe
Axis

My car's on all of them. :bowrofl:

that's the link.
and Adam keep me posted I might swing up to check out the progress of your car! Since it's the holidays I shouldn't be that busy with work.

I feel honored just meeting KillerBee, considering he's famous and all:icon17:

Jake, did you say work? I wasn't even sure you were old enough to drive! HAHHA...kidding bro.

KB and I are the old ones, I think DirtyDave has us all beat.

I'll definitely keep you updated Jake, I'll post some pics on the progress and we'll swing by if your around. Marco is starting the headlight mod next week too so I'll have parts all over the place. Ordered more CF too...this car is going to be pretty cool when she's all done.

:hello:

(long time ago)

Yup... that's my car alrighty! :tup:

That's funny. One thing about living in LA, everyone is an actor. I truly know no less then a dozen or so. Run into them all the time in Malibu as I'm down there every week for work.

LOL you still need me to find a grandma? JK yeah unfortunately I do work but I'm glad I have a job lol.

A dozen? You've probably met hundreds. Who do you think is serving your ceasar salad at all those restarants?

:bowrofl: :roflpuke2:

No grandma needed. I think both KB and I are pretty set up, thanks though! Glad I didnt win one of those models, not sure how I would of explained that one to the Misses.

no explanation needed. Atleast that's how I would think lol.

Your right, I'm talking just the A and B list ones. My very close friend keeps a constant line with a lot of them so I see them at dinner quite often...just regular people that make a lot of $$...most are very cool though.

I'm the poor guy that they make fun of! :tiphat:

poor guy? come'on mister with the 30+ boxes of toys. Not complaining. love what you do and you my friend will go very long in life because the way you think.

and KB do you run with those springs or you just did a promo shot for them? I might be thinking about doing those on the car.

Its the least I could do for all the work Scott put into the meet. I was impressed that he didnt push parts on us either, very cool guys.. I like the charity stuff...

I'm in for coilovers, just need to decide which ones.

I'm a bit afraid that once I put the Tanabe springs on to drop the car I'll run into problems with the FI exhaust that I'm planning on getting.

Yes they are currently on the car. They provide a stiff and responsive ride. Lowered of course but as you can see from the pictures, nothing too ridiculous. Coupled with my Stillen sway bars, the car is incredibly rigid for track use yet still comfortable on the street.

I see okay I might be looking forward into those. do you have the touring ver or the track ones?

Sorry I don't have spares to loan....

They are the stiffest springs they currently offer for our car. They aren't really labelled touring or track but I guess they are more geared for track use.

Now I'm totally derailing this thread... :ugh2:

HAHAHAHAH...and I just wanted rims!!!

Last time I ask you guys for help. KIDDING

Haha... sorry I don't have any extra rims either. Sold my stockers!

No worries, I'm shopping for new replacements right now. Kids are a sleep so time for me to spend some $$$.

Thanks all for checking, appreciate the response.

Thanks for the kind words and offer. It's my dream to live in CA. Maybe one day I will be able to go there and fulfill my dream. It's so awesome to have so many shops, meets and resources for the Z there.

As for shocks, are you going with KW or Nismo or BC?

For The Budget Minded, BC....

hahahaha. wait for that turbo kit man wait for it.

Still not sure which ones to go with. I want to make sure which ever ones I go I dont go too much lower, I dont want it to rub on speedbumps like some of the threads I've read.

No worries their adjustable.:tup:

Thanks Triple but on a couple of them they said they were just about maxed out and have 1.75" of drop. Can't remember the brand but I only have about 3.75" of clearance with the FI exhaust. If I drop another 1.75 that only leaves me with 2....screw that.

Which one would allow me full stock clearance yet the ability to knock it down for a track day. Willow is a little rough so I still wouldnt want to go too low.

Needless to say, I'd like to keep the $ side reasonable...

Thanks man
