I looked up dealers in our area, and there are a few on Hwy 13.
That doesn't work to remove the rasp for our set up, that's why everyone is using the one I posted, you can search it on here. Greg's will work if you are building from scratch though.

Love those TE37SL's, too bad those and a set of tires cost about half the price of our Z's now.

Thats why i don't feel guilty buying the replicas plus you can never find cheap used ones w/o curb rash.


oh and if anyone knows anyone selling a pair of rx-7 16" fd rims let me know need some rims for slicks that can fit over oem brembos.

Doubt 20+ GTR's ever show up at C&C at once maybe 6-8 at most....however depends on the time you get there cause they put certain cars (Japanese/asia/import, euros, supers....) in certain areas, so the early bird gets to spread its seed first . Also if you know Matt or the other guys who coordinate it they'll let you in and find you a spot somewhere else...or you can buy a garage there and not let anyone park by it lol.

I remember the discussion about all the G owners going and taking up a lot of spots.. LOL

I was being sarcastic on my previous post, but you all take me too seriously. I think it's a great event. Wish I had time to go more often. When I do go, I don't go to look at G/Z cars... or corvettes... or camaros... or A4's... etc

The starting price of a garage is 40k all the way up to 250k. And those are all unfinished. Other special amenities it's extra. They are also looking for more land elsewhere to add more garages

Apparently the FT-1 (aka SUPRA) concept will be a co-project like the 86. This time with bimmer (so rumors two years ago were true); 3 engine types the top model having a TT setup (400hp). Prices are around 50-60K range, year 2017 (2016).

Always loved bimmer, especially my e36 M3 and e46. Although iffy on some things they are doing now. Hopefully this all works and the Supra comes back and the price remains around that range. Its been a great 2 years so far for sports cars.

Seems the Z35 or whatever they'll call it should be a I-4 Turbo (rumor/truth/nismojpn)
