240racer is an unknown quantity at this point
Yeah, I might be more interested in Blackhawk farms. I haven't been on a track yet, just so you know, I'm not trying to pretend I know all the ins and outs of racing. I really want to get into it. I have done some auto-x but not at an official meet. I just drove the tracks that we set up for FSAE practice in both the FSAE car and my integra I used to have.
I found a pretty cheap brake upgrade alternative. Running some rotors from the '90s lumina and wilwood billet dynalite calipers from jegs. I can get the adapters made free, so that's not hard. The specs on the rotors are: 10.5" x 26mm 5x4.5" bolt pattern and are available at fleet farm for about $15 each. Does anybody have an opinion about these? The main reason I would run this setup over the 300zx setup is cost (rotors are a lot cheaper) and I could still run my 15" steel wheels. Now maybe it would be worth the money to go to 15" Al wheels that fit over the 300zx setup instead.
