18X10.5 +35 and 18X11.5 +20
Very close to final approval for the wheels, so we can start the order taking process. I think it's going to be VERY popular for the 370Z/GT-R track day crowd.

[QUOTE=Sharif@Forged;8093606]1:17 Forged GT-R (running R888's 295/305)
1:19 Forged 370Z (running R888's 295/305)


Here is the incar I took. Sorry for the crappy cam placement. I moved the cam to the roof on the next session, and then it flew off at 145mph on the front straight.


Nice Sharif

I can't wait to see the car at the track in person.


By the way, can you send me a note about the carbonetics clutch. I'm not asking you to give me anything. If I could get it rebuilt, I could at least sell it.

10.5 inches up front is nuts! Lots of grip, but I think you may end up trading a little steering feel, no?

I'll be at that trackday. Won't be driving. If I'm not doing support work I'll come by and check you guys out.

Sounds like it's going to be packed.

I am starting to think this project has been put on ice......no updates in well over 2 months and we are in the midst of racing season.

I've been told that this is the same car...

Apparently, it's not a shop car and Forged didn't do the TT install.

Eric, give it a rest. We did all of the work that we posted on in the thread. I already posted that the turbo kit install was done by the customer and Kerry, and then we did the tuning. We are still working together on the car. Not all project cars are owned by Forged, just like the Intense project cars, or GTM projects cars are not all owned by those companies. We sponsored the car....but don't own it.

The owner of the car has been posting some updates on the other forums, so I will give you all a quick update as well. We were at Road Atlanta this weekend which was it's second full track test. The car handles and performs incredibly well, but we are still struggling with cooling issues. As anyone with a 370Z knows, even in NA form the car is prone to high oil temps during track use. Jay has been working on a couple rounds of cooling upgrades and making progress. It's just going to take even more extreme measures to keep the engine nice and cool for extended lapping sessions.

OK. Thanks for the clarification. But why create a separate thread that makes no mention or connection to the race project and not provide an update in the original race project thread? That's ODD. Just sayin...

Also... other shops (Intense included) do their own FI installs on their project cars. Otherwise it's not referred to as a project car!

I thought it was owned by Forged... hence "We are looking forward to developing the Forged Performance 370Z" from the 1st post on this thread.

I always get a nice warm fuzzy feeling when I see brand new cars getting ripped apart like that . Keep up the good work!
