Nope, I'm in Arizona. Don't know of any shops in california personally.

From what i gather the carrera set up is kinda hard to find. I lucked out and got mine and a bunch of other cool vintage 1200 race parts from a guy I bought a '68 roadster 1600 from.

Rallytwit, what brand/model tires are you using? I'm not in love with the federal all-seasons i've got now. I'm completely new to tires that are smaller than 16-17's. I've been building 240sx's for too many years i guess.

Keep in mind I use DOT race rubber;

Currently running Hoosier Vintage TD's 185 60D-13 these are bias ply but smaller circumference so they help the gearing.

I was using Yokohama Advan A048s, before that it was A008s (these were SCCA Spec Racer Ford control tires) Toyo and Hoosier also make em in this size.

I buy the tires used from John Berget racing tires (on the net) about $55-65 each shipped. Depending on how much driving you do they could work, being so soft they wear quickly but you could probably manage 5K out of them...........I get 600 race miles, main reason I change them is they've gone off not because they are worn. For street driving this likely wouldn't be an issue.

I finally got around to doing most of my fender flares.

Step 1:
Remove fender (is it awesome or sad that ive had these fenders off so many times that i no longer need to remove the front bumper to do so?)
Open in new window

Step 2:
Haphazardly draw lines on the fender in no way denoting where you should cut.
Open in new window

Step 3:
Cut, remember... measure once, if at all, cut until you get scared you cut too much, then cut just a tiny bit more.
Open in new window

Step 4:
Cross your fingers and hope that you didn't cut too mucchhhhh.....
Open in new window

Step 5:
Toss it back on and cry about how un-flush you just made your Panasports.
Open in new window


Open in new window

Open in new window


I only have one left to do but i want to try trimming the pass side rear a bit better so welding it back together isn't such a pain.

liked it better no flares but now you have an excuse for longer lower contorl arms and more negative camber

you going to paing the panasports too?

i love it when panel shops drive their own cars, not just trailer them or sell them all the time (got a guy in my street, diffenet car for sale every couple weeks).

try the 185's, i have them on the rear of mine, good size.
