The race would of been worth it....the car will always be there.

On a side note, now that I have minute, is anyone going to COTA next weekend? If so, hit me up. I will be driving the car down to the race.

If everything goes well and stays the way it's moving I'm up for meeting up in 2 weeks (weekend after Halloween)

Not CODA but COTA (for those who do not follow F1...Circuits of the Americas in Austin, TX)

If you're not familiar with "The Armacost", it is a private automobile collection housed in one of the finest facilities in Kansas City. This is not generally open to the public but is open by special arrangement. I have made that arrangement.

The collection includes everything from a Ferrari F40 to a 1919 Rolls Royce to British sports cars to American muscle cars to turn of the 20th century Harley Davidson motor cycles. Personally, my favorite part is the collection of Studebakers. The Armacost family was a Studebaker dealer in Kansas City for decades. Consequently, they have several.

If you have been there before you might think "Been there. Done that. Seen that." The Armacost collection is quite extensive and more than may be housed here. They cars on display constantly changes. You never know what you will see until you get there!

"The Armacost" has set the following guidelines:
1. No one under 16 allowed.
2. A $5 donation/admittance is required. One Hundred percent of the money collected is donated to a local Grandview charity.
3. No food or drink allowed.

Bringing a camera is STRONGLY encouraged.

More info here:
HOVER MOTOR COMPANY: The Armacost Auto Museum in Grandview is a little-known Kansas City treasure

"The Armacost" is located at :
4200 E 135th St. Grandview, MO 64030

I'll provide you with updates and more details later. More info will be made available at Heart of America Z Car Club or Heart of America Z Car Club on Facebook or my Facebook page.. Dan McConnell

This is an open invitation. Please share with your "responsible" friends, car club, organization, etc.

Thanks in advance,

everyone see that world record vhr build on the engine section? 371whp at 8200rpms! ooo that sound would be epic

Well... Good news is my car is on the coilovers. Bad news I didn't get to order my spacers in time. So I am still looking. Do you guys think the Z1 spacers are good enough? Don't feel like forking over another extra $100 for spacers when Z1 has 20/25 (hub centric) going for about $220 with shipping.

I found hub centric spacers on Amazon for $56/pair. I put them on yesterday and they are great. Very good quality. They look just like the HR spacers and are designed just like them. They are so much alike, I think they are the same. I got mine in 20mm.

Curious...how many miles on the car?

cregan6318 · 11-05-2014, 09:52 PM

Less than 22k. No call from the dealer today. Hopefully tomorrow

Has anyone gotten a tune for their 370z in town? Where did you get it done and recommendations? Also prices? All I have right now is post MAF tubes with high flow air filters and planning on adding a CBE. thanks

I've done quite a bit of searching and the only place that keeps coming up is Modified by KC. They are an UPREV dealer. I am getting tuned by them when they get back from SEMA the end of the month. Another guy on the forum recommended them too.

edub370 · 11-07-2014, 09:18 AM

yep. they tuned my car. tune was done about 2 years ago and the car hasn't had any issues.

side note: are there any car shows going on this weekend
