I've decided to give the whole build thread thing one more shot. I failed with my last one, mainly because I was basically done with the car when I started it, and I didn't have the money I needed to really do what I wanted.
I figured I'd hop on the "New year, new me" bandwagon and start one yet again, while my car is still stock and parts begin to pile up.
On to the car, 1992 300zx N/A, Cherry Red Pearl with black leather on suede, and other than a ruined front bumper, a perfectly mint and unmolested exterior. A perfect starting point.
And with that I'd like to backtrack a bit, because this isn't my first Z32 and I am no stranger to getting these cars on the ground. My previous Z was a 90 N/A in Pearl Yellow.
And back to my current state. After having replaced nearly all of the maintenance items on the car, out of not knowing whether or not they had been serviced properly before, I was ready to start modding the car.
I started off with a set of BC Racing coilovers, but not any spring rates were going to do. I got them custom valved for 26k Spring rates and ordered the extreme drop for extra low. I finally got my coils 5 weeks later (as of Jan 16) but my swift spring are on backorder until the end of Jan, so here is a picture of the box lol.
Next up was deciding on wheels. I had my mind 100% set on a set of black chrome Weds LXZ's but after pricing that out in the specs I wanted I decided to hold off. Luckily two weeks ago A set of wheels I have always wanted popped up locally, and I scooped them up the next day. Weds Kranze Bazreia in 18x10.5 +20F, -7R. Tires are 215/35 on the fronts and 215/40 on the rear. This same setup won Best Stretch at Stancewars locally here in Washington.
And thats where I am as of this post. I will be ordering Suspension arms in the coming week or so, as well as a new front bumper and then the wheels will be going on. Shooting to have that done quickly, as I want the entire car to be done by middle of April.
Thanks for looking!
