SCCA STR 370z Progress Thread.... It can be done!

I only use a 6" spring, I can replace both springs in 3 minutes.....just run the car, you will be fine. You won't pick the rear tire up off the ground on street tires unless you really **** up.

That's what I have lowered to 26 3/16 ground to fender.

Good point. They're 300utqg at the moment too.

I probably run a whole lot more spring than you, but I am more than an inch lower than you. Tough to say since my fenders are cut down, etc.

I just have a 10k swift 2.5". I called FA, I'm just going to buy their rear shocks so I can't adjust preload. No spring should be loose in my book for performance or the binding/popping that goes on.

In fairness, I have never, ever heard of a 370z that didn't fuel starve without a ton of fuel on board.

That's why I always have a full tank when I go to an event. I fill up before I leave then when I get there I top it off at the nearest gas station.

I still like an idea I had, just need a tank and my lazy *** to try it.

Why do think phunk made the roadracing fuel pump set up. There is a couple of threads of guys having it on the street, let alone on the track.

I bet I could get your car to starve at your stated fuel level.....bring it to MD and let me give it a shot

Let's tone it down a notch in here. Keep disagreements civil, thanks.

Nope 5zigen fn01r-c 17's I would not recommend this setup, but it's cheaper on tires that's for sure.

You can put a credit card between the caliper and the rim. So anything that gets in between scuffs the rim, and that the top of the caliper, but doesn't cause any issues. This setup has seen the track many times, and autocross even more so it does work.

I would be running an 18x12 front 18x13 rear if I were campaigning an ASP 370....

I would love that but... I would need to save up more because a decent set would have to be custom and that's short for metric *** ton of cash for a 20 day season hobby. I have been searching hard for a quality cheap set but my race car fund is pretty low since I got all the new stuff.

As for the toe arm... No comment because this is a STR thread not a scca rule book thread.
