Cool car combo

You now have the light weight to compete with the middle and heavy weight cars

I think you've nailed it so far

Maybe a 240 and a 300

Built and sold a 240 years ago. I doubt I'd do another. A 300zx really isn't on my list. Would consider an R33/34 down the line maybe or an NSX.

Maybe. Helped a buddy build one. Terrible car to drive even after all the work to it.

Thats the direction I assumed he was talking about also. 240sx are dime a dozen anymore, but always wanted to do a datsun 240

Yep was thinking datsun but the nissan is also a cool car.

NSX is great and would fit in nicely with the current collection

On my opinion I have to agree with a few people about their pick on wheels. Works Meister, Works VSXX, Volks and the Fikse wheels r for example some of my favorites. By the way Adaptronic is a very good choice on the ECU if u want to go for it later on. I have one for the last 2 or 3 years and have no complaints about it.

Unfortunately, there's nothing really special about those wheels. All of them are still being made and you can find them anywhere. A build like this deserves more rarity in my opinion.

You are probably right, we just have to wait and see. In my opinion by putting one of those wheels you are just playing safe, unfortunately a lot of them got the same wheels. Nothing wrong with being unique

Not bad.

If interested do and experiment and jack the car up on the front corner and measure how much the rear comes up before the install then check it after.

I have a feeling it might actually work pretty well for stiffening the chassis at what is likely the weakest spot

You can buy the complete setup or just certain parts. I bought directly from Next.

You're welcome.

I still have one I'm still on the fence about using it or selling it. It looks nice on a CW. Pretty much any of these cars the more dark exterior parts you add the better they look.
