Bad Dog RLCAs

I know I know I really wanted to get that ill set of Rear Lower Control arms that Techno Toy Tuning makes for the 240z, but this time my budget wouldn't permit.

But luckily, a friend of mine John that runs Bad Dog Parts (the frame rails guys), let me take his set that he used on his 240z race car!

You can see the LCAs installed here.

You can also see the bottom of the custom fuel cell that they traded me and how they ran their fuel pump setup.

John and Pete are the guys that built and race this car, and I gotta say that they are some of the nicest guys I've ever met. They also have an awesome collection of stuff that somehow ends up getting installed in my car! :D

So here are the RLCAs.

As you can see they are stock LCAs, but are in much much better condition (metal wise), than my stockers.

And they came with the eccentric RLCA bushings!

If you look at that picture closely (and through all the dirt), you can see that the metal bushing is off center. This allows you to tune the camber AND toe settings on a stock set of lower control arms!

Very cool. And since I can't afford the blinged out T3 set, I can't think of a better set of stockers to run. 'Cause if they were good enough for a race car, then they are good enough for me... For now. lol

BSAAC 39th Annual Antique Car Show - 7-11-10 Dedham, MA

What a show!

It was great to see all the Z club guys and gals again.

The Bay State Antique Auto Club hosted what turned out to be the biggest and most impressive car show I've ever been to.
Literally my head was spinning trying to get a look (and a shot) of every car there... I failed miserably.

But here are a few of my favorites for the show!

BSAAC Tease

Unbelivable turn out for a show that was supposed to be rained out. The Bay State Antique Auto Club really knows how to host a car show.

My head was spinning there were so many beautiful cars.
Domestics ruled the grounds but the J-Tin crew were present and accounted for.

ZCCNE - Clay Nissan Z Car show 6-6-10

Clay Nissan of Norwood, MA was gracious enough to host a Z car show this weekend with the Z Car Club of New England (ZCCNE). They were grilling Burgers and Hot Dogs for all in attendance, and let us try on the new 2010 370z. (not for fat people lol)

Check out the slide show for the pics of the cars that showed up. The weather was said to be 90% chance of thunderstorms but it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Taking that into consideration I think the turn out was really good.

The highlights of the show were definitely the RB25DE and the LT1 swapped S30s. There was also a silver 6000 original mile 240z that was there parked in the garage. Absolutely stunning condition. Best I've ever seen.

For more information about the Z Car Club of New England, check out the ZCCNE forum:
