A new 260Z is born - Jeffrey R's 260Z

Jeff I am pretty sure there is a 12 step program we all need to be in. I just get to step 1 and say my name and my race car addiction and then quit going and buy another car. Seems to work for you and Ron as well. Good luck on the build. Just taking a break from the RX8 as I type.

It is an addiction. I'm actually really looking forward to Ron's ITR car (probably a few years off) -- a strip down and build up that is done RIGHT. Both the TR8 and the existing 260z are sort of frankenracecars, pieced together by different folks over time.

Jeff R.'s 260z is a testament to commitment. That boy has had a lot of stuff get in the way of racing, but he keeps chipping away at it and we are actually starting to get close. It's cool to see.

Some more werk.

Ron, Jeff R, Jeff Y, I notice you don't have any camber plates in there yet. I just picked up a batch from the laser guy. I can hook you up for a lot less than the alternatives. Definately want to get those in before you paint the chassis. I don't know what equipment you have, but I just got a plasma cutter last fall that will make the rears a breeze compared to the others I have done with drills and sawsalls. A torch will also work, but it is amazing how thick the rear strut towers are! Call me, I can send you a set quick, 704-472-3302.

Hey Mike,

PM or Email Jeffrey (jrvisual) direct. I am pretty sure he has some camber plates already, but not 100% certain.

This car actually has parts from all over. To list but a few:

Earp - parts from the Jensen Healey, guages, and his own 260Z stash
Young - gauges, extra Z parts, brake parts, and other assorted
Parrish - headers, wheels, some other parts
Spillman - indirectly some wheels
Diffenbaugh - some 260Z carbs and manifolds
MARS Z guy - carbs, cell, spoiler, few other things

So it is somewhat of a community IT car in a way!

Very cool!
Hey Chris, that fuel cell mount picture looks like it got copy pasted from your photo album!

Duplicate of what is in the existing Z.
