Ziel Sports open to the public Los Angeles area

[brainfood]

Just wanted to stop by and let everyone know that Ziel Motorsports is now open for customer cars. We are responsible for all of the JIC-Magic demo cars and until now have been focusing on the JIC USA motorsports teams but we will be open to the public and of course are looking for customers. Specializing in Porsche but with experience in all vehicles. Alignments, suspension install, corner weight and balance is what we focus on. However we are equipped to take care of all your needs.

In Alhambra? I used to cruise Mission all the time when I lived in Alhambra, I never saw nice cars out there...

... I'm totally gonna come by and check the place out!

[brainfood]

Yeah moved not to long ago from Downey

[adrians_s13]

awesome!

very interested in checking out the place. any room for loiters? lmao

[brainfood]

We have a full showroom with pool table and air hockey!

[kevmeistah21]

Local! i'll prolly stop by if i go costco sometime soon

[brndck]

there was a recent article in Modified mag about modifying pickup points on rear subframes of s-chassis to correct for lowered ride height.
any further information on offering this as a service?
i've been curious ever since i read the article.

[MrMigs]

You can just get modified knuckles with raised hubs for that. Less custom work. Look up SP Tech Japan.

Ziel Sweet.

Yeah we can do it. Our s14 time attack car has z32 uprights with modified pick up points.

thats what i'm interested in! i have z32 rear uprights on my 13 also. interested in your results with this modification.

[let5l1de]

Alhambra is down the street from me. Tomorrow, I might go to cosco for lunch and check this place out.

I have z32 uprights. unfortunately not installed yet... tein will not sell lower z32 shells separate.

[brainfood]

The modified rear knuckles just helps get the rear suspension geometry back closer to stock on lowered cars. I have and s15 subframe in my personal s13 and solid aluminum cncd bushings so I can raise the subframe 1/2"-3/4" helping with the geometry somewhat.

Do you know the thread pitch and size on the tein shock body? I may be able to find some z32 lower mounts that will work.

[let5l1de]

I believe the instructions have the measurements on them. I'll bring it with me if it does. if not, measuring the thread pitch/diameter will have to wait...

[brainfood]

Oh and we are open mon-fri. 9-6. Thanks!

[let5l1de]

Met Bryan at Ziel Sports today. Managed to sneak a peek in the shop. Super clean and spacious with a sexy Porsche and a Ultimate Metal Silver (a quick guess on paint) R35 up on the lift.

I'll swing by next week with a rear Type FLEX damper.

[brainfood]

Glad you got a chance to stop by and check out the shop. Sorry I wad so busy. Been trying to get the rx8 done so we can get it to the track for shakedown before the next time attack.

[PhilipJdm]

wow, your on mission? (like what everyone else said) i live in alhambra and i was on mission just the other day, i didnt see any shop. are you a big one? ( i think you are)

[brainfood]

Eah the shop is big. It's on mission and raymond

[let5l1de]

Don't look for a sign either. The entrance is nicely tucked right off mission.

Bryan, thanks for checkin out my body! Too bad the JIC thread pitch was not a match. This simple change/modification Tein will no longer address is just about enough of a hassel to push me toward some new suspension.

On a side note, the ZielSports site (http://www.zielsports.com/) would greatly benefit from some simple SEO and site completion. Especially since the expanded direction is now toward the public.

PM me if Ziel Sports is interested in some help.

[brainfood]

Thanks for coming by, Yeah I am pushing to get the site finished up but things are busy and that side has been slow. The site we have now I want to complete just for temporary till we can get something nicer up.

[brainfood]

Some knuckles I just did for Bruce with the purple FD

[brndck]

Where can I see more details on this rx8?

you could start by sending a pm instead of bumping a thread from 5 years ago.... :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

[TheRealSy90]
