In my never ending desire to bring you all down to my level...here's what happens when you really need a 3-4 bay garage and only have a 2-bay and no yard barn to put all the yard stuff in...and then there's the extra car parts, the Radio Flyer Wagon for hauling goodies into Conner Prairie Concerts, an extra TV, TV Cabinet, the Beer Frig, and the total lack of desire to do anything in the garage over this past Winter.

If I can create some room, I have an extra L28ET motor sitting in a friend's sotrage unit I'd like to bring in so I can start working on a Stroked L32ET motor for the Z with a target of 450RWHP.

Hope you're sitting down when you look at the mess. I need to do some Spring Cleaning on. I've been a very bad boy this past Winter.

Mark,
114.3 (or as we American car owners lovingly call 4.5 inches) is correct for the B. We looking more for a 15" wheel, but if the price is right, I could consider your friends wheels and turn them to silver from gold. Let me know what he is asking. Thanks.

Sorry...us Foreign car owners do Metric.

I'll follow-up later today with details, verify size ( could be 15", but thinking 14" ), pricing, etc.

SMS...In the 1st of the two pics you posted of the track cars, the car is sitting on a set of Enkei mesh wheels, gold with polished lip. A buddy has a set for sale, in good shape, I think 14x6 with 114.3x4 bolt pattern and zero offset. Let me know if you are interested and i can verify. Wheels are in Kokomo.

Those are pretty! Looks like 4-pot calipers on about a 10" rotor to fit 14" rims?
Safe to assume you are installing discs front and rear?

Will Mrs SMS miss having a parking brake when you install these? I did see Wilwood has a new single pot caliper that allows you to integrate a parking brake cable. But who wants single pot with you can have 4-pot?

What's the bolt pattern and offset you need?
114.3 x4 with 0 offset fits the 70-83 Z's

So what are you thinking for wheels? Panasports would look great on that vintage.

1964 MGB. Coming soon, to a run near you.
I sent Jason a list of goodies we're looking for, if anyone else has a line on Brittish cars let me know.

Victoria British out of Lenexa, KS. http://www.victoriabritish.com/
They handle MG, Triumph, Sunbeam, Austin Healy parts...yea...the British stuff.



They have several different divisions. Long Motor Corportation is the head company.
Black Dragon Automotive is the division that handles Z parts. Excellent company to deal with. Also been long time sponsors for our regional Z shows.
Also have a truck division.

Congrats on the new car! Pretty.



My dad had a 1959 MGA 1600 Coupe. Painted British Racing Green. He got rid of it ~1964. Blame my sister and me for being little kids.

TrixZee's brother got rid of a MGB within the last 3 years. It had been buried under a pile of grarage junk for years. I heard the guy that took it has already restored it and is cruising around Louisville when the weathers nice.

I don't think he knew that Midwestscc is an organized car syndicate. Do you think it's a good idea to send the higher ops of tire barn a link to our website? After this incident, I don't see any agency who can help us in case we get this kind of treatment. The Better Business Bureau won't give a flying F. You can't call the cops on this. The manager won't even get hurt if we stop going to tire barn because he's on salary.

If senior management doesn't approve of his behavior and they are threatehed with loss of revenue, you might be surprised what could happen.
