Thanks Nick Mainly done for race car especially cars with very stiff spring rate, the higher the spring rate a small change in height would cause a much bigger imbalance in weight distribution.

Wags Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 How good is this new shifter knob. Really nice reproduction made wayyyy better than the original. Also, how Schmick does everything else look beneath it! 240ZBUILTBYME, OdinZ, C.A.R. and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wags Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Beautiful new plush custom floor mats just arrived. And last week the reproduction luggage straps came in also. Just about all the puzzle pieces together now. Big reveal not far off. gilltech, Mike_F and Dragonball240z 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wags Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 A nice little modern touch that doesn’t look out of place at all. Will go well with the retrosound stereo right next to it. OdinZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wags Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Tacho is back from the instrument maker today. Apparently had a faulty board. This is the last restored piece to go into the car. Now we have a couple of adjustments, final operations test and checks of all components/functions, professional detail, professional photos…then transport to me in Canberra.

CBR Jeff Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Jon this is beautiful. I’m looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Locky you should be very proud of your teams work on this car. All you need now is a YouTube Chanel and you will be big time. Jeff Wags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestoZ Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hey Wags, just wondering where you bought the USB outlet you installed under the cigarette lighter in your car. Want to do the same thing but all I can find online is USB's with coloured lights, bells, gauges and whistles - not the look I want.
