hey, did you guys fabricate the rear diffuser???

I'll see if I can get some pics of the exhaust next time it's on the lift.

And yes, the rear diffuser was also fabricated in house!

^^ IIRC they said they will be running 17x10s all the way around, Andrew do you think I should attempt 17x10s in the front of mine with 20mm front fenders?

17x9 in the front.

*kognition* · 06-08-2009, 11:46 AM

I'm fitted with18"x 9.5" in the front with a 25mm spacer and our 25mm. fenders.
10" is a little more than i need for the weight of the car and the compound that i use, as well as my front spring rate. Very stiff setup in the front. Also i am upgrading to an electric steering system from an Altima so that i can get faster steering response and more steering torque due to the stickier slicks.

What are you rocking in the rear?

*kognition* · 06-08-2009, 12:11 PM

In the rear i have 18"x 10.5" . And i have a new set of forgeline F18's being custom made, those are the same in front, but 18" x 11" in the rear.

so basically now u have 18x9.5 but u will be rocking 18x10.5 front and 18x11 rear with those custom ones?

What spring rates are u running? What tires (size/brand/name)?

Andrew @ 240sxMotoring · 06-08-2009, 01:13 PM

Bigger wheels, maybe in the future.

"getting" is the wrong tense now. It should be got.

*kognition* · 06-08-2009, 02:33 PM

On the car now, i have Enkei NT03's 18x10.5 rear, and 18x 9.5 front. Hankook C91 slicks. 275's front and back.

Having the Forgestars made now.Those are 18x11 and 18x9.5 . These are for my wet and intermediate tires. You need practice wheels, and hot lap wheels.

How do you like those C91? I was thinking of trying them out....Just need to budget myself to afford tires.

*kognition* · 06-09-2009, 11:02 AM

It's a winning compound if you are 2,500 lb's or below.
But not easy to find anymore. JIC set us up with their last 16 tires before they started working with Yokohama this season. I think tire availablilty issues were a factor in the change to Yokohama.

Hey Andrew, what did you guys do about mounting seats? I just dropped my car off at the chassis builder and he needs to know how high the seats are going to be so he knows where to put the harness bar.

I have two cobra evolution S seats with sidemounts. Should I mount them on a bracket or just build a steel box on the floor. Thanks for any help!

If I was to redo mine, i would cut out a box on the floor and notch it so the seat sits as low as possible. My seat is higher than I would like it to be. Maybe I will change that some time this summer if I have the time.

civilized_drifter · 06-10-2009, 02:07 PM

are you guys gonna be at import alliance in nashville for the time attack? i would love to see this car

Andrew @ 240sxMotoring · 06-15-2009, 09:05 AM

Nashville's probably the one east coast race we might not be able to make. But we'll see in time.

Also, pics from this weekend will be up later today!

Andrew @ 240sxMotoring · 06-15-2009, 11:09 AM

Rollin' out to the track from the hotel. The Genesis Coupe gets so many looks!

Getting ready to get back on the track

Heheh. Limits.

And the sun goes down.

And a shot for the sponsors.

Look what Crawford brought along!
