cool. when I read your title, I thought, gees how many cool cars does david need. Then i saw the post.

How many cars do you want mate? I thought you had at least 3. oh, wait a minute, who am I to judge, so do I. I don't know about Cali, but in Australia you would be looking at 10k+ for a clean one. Consider yourselves lucky.

1100whp and your planning on having it street registrable? Man, I hope for your own safety that you have more self control then me.

Yeah, My mate gets that every time I send him a link to Hybridz.

better tell him that it is zcar.com and not hybridz that you are spending every waking moment reading then. Just kidding, any deal that has gotten you a cool zcar is definitely worth honouring. Have fun mate, P.S. a stock Z is still more fun then a turbo charged Z that has been sitting in the carport for the last 6 months not moving because it needs a new computer. Sorry, I'm just venting again.

Mario, Where do you live again? Joke

Myron, Please don't change the lines because of my question. I was just asking a question, had no technical backup behind the question. I was hoping you or someone on this forum could provide some technical answer with proper backup. Since your car isn't finished yet, I would definitely wait till someone chimed in with a properly backed up answer. Either way, it looks incredible. Perhaps you could have a fuel cutout switch activated by extreme movement, i.e. crash. I am sure I have seen something like this before. I will search and get back to you.

Nice find, well done. Just change those bumpers and it would look so much better. Seems pretty straight in the photos though. Well done.

I always like your work mate, you do a great job. Just a quick question, is safe having the fuel lines run through the cabin?

I have considered it quite a few times over the last six months as it has sat needing a new computer. I have too many other expenses at the moment to allow me to fork out for the computer, and I know it will just snowball from there. Computer will turn into gearbox, which will turn into suspension, which will turn into interior, which will turn into who knows what (seam welded, mmm). Before I know it the few thousand for the computer will be 20k for everything. And yet it still wont handle like a lotus exige. Oh well, at least it still looks incredible and when I recall driving it, I do remember a huge smile on my face.

Man. You need some big balls or lots of money to drift a lambo. Especially on a public road. Maybe they are that rich they own the road too

Wow! What more can you say. Congrats on having one of the nicest looking exhaust and intake setups I have seen. And a hell of a lot of work. Once again, well done.

I didn't think a 120Y could look so good. I wonder how the 1600 would turn out with one of these guys at the helm. . . ah . . . mouse.

Ok, this is killing me Aziza. What ended up happening? Did you fix it in time for the filming?

WOW. nice work. I like the indent in the roof, I think it would be a perfect place for a cabin air intake (rally style) but without having the scoop project above the roof. (Functional without looking like an attachment). As it is, it should even strengthen the roof a little (Still can't get those shocking images out of my mind where some stupid teens jumped on a hybridz 280zx roof, made me mad).

One of the coin videos

1FastZ, your flares on your 2+2 look great. I really like those on your car, and I think because the body colour blends into the flare a bit, so they don't stand out too much. Bubbles, I think on your 2+2 with your colour paint they will stand out too much for a 2+2. But then I didn't like the original blue one that derek posted and you did. So to each his own.

HA. Yeah, that is cool. Just ribbing you.

I think you meant to say "-might just have to stay up and RECORD the whole thing and POST it on You Tube for the rest of HybridZ to watch.

wow guys, some of you have some cars with a lot of kms (miles) on them. I'm going to give it a bit of a birthday now, oil change, timing belt etc. But the next goal, which I think is easily doable will be 350 000kms. Then it will be time to hand it over to my mate who will just be getting his license. Can't wait to see how much abuse he gives it and how long it goes.

I don't know why I am still impressed with the amount of effort people on this forum will go to learn more. I should know you guys and girls are a motivated bunch by now. Yeah it is actually the other end with the small bridge that always use to flood. Cheers guys.

The monumentous day has happened. Last Tuesday at 4:58 pm, the corolla hit the magical 300 km mark. No, not 300km/hr. 300 000 kms. Yes, that is right. The corolla has done 300 000 kms. Proof, and to show that it wasn't photoshoped, multiple photos. Now, some of you might be saying "but it’s a corolla, we all knew it would make it". And for the benefit of those people I want to give you a bit of a history lesson, just to show you that this milestone is pretty damn impressive. My folks bought the corolla when it had 50 000 kms on it. I learnt to drive on it, My wife learnt to drive on it (yeah it copped a lot of abuse then) A bunch of my mates learnt to drive in it, picture 17 year old boys at 1 am on a Friday night, they weren't learning how to reverse park! I delivered pizzas in the corolla for a period of 18 months (Around 35000 kms of sitting on the redline, leaning on two wheels and smoking the clutch). P.S. If you have never worked as a delivery driver, you would be impressed at what a pizza can go through and still look half decent. Just make sure you don't order a pizza without cheese, doesn't corner real well. P.S.S, I was the highest paid delivery driver, because I always delivered the most pizzas in a shift. Best Shift I ever did, I made 39 deliveries in a 4 hour shift, and it was a night that it was bucketing down with rain, even flooded bracken ridge road. Just realised, none of you will know what road that is. In the last 100 000 kms it has had an oil change, yes you read correctly. No plurals here, just one at 245 000kms. The one before that was around the 200 000 mark. Can't recal draining/flushing the coolant in the last 150 000 kms. For the last couple of years it has been my wife's daily driver (now that says it all, doesn’t it) as well as the weekend hack. It has kissed other cars on a few occasions. It has lost ~20 license points (starting to get the picture on how it is driven, no they weren't all for speeding?) It lives between 5000 rpm and redline for roughly 50% of it's life. It has reached 180+ km/hr (Let me tell you, a shopping cart starts to get pretty scary at those speeds). It has taught me that a front wheel drive car, CAN, oversteer, WITHOUT, the use of the handbrake. It has gone through, 1st, 2nd and third gear without moving. The following parts are still original Water pump Oil pump Powersteering pump All non consumable motor parts Gearbox Brake cylinders Clutch cylinders The following parts have been changed (some will give you an idea as to how it has been driven) It is on it's third clutch (this one has been on its way out for the last 20 000 kms. Yes, the clutch gets abused) It had new brake rotors fitted around the 245 000 mark, the originals, which are meant to be machinable were too thin to machine when they were replaced. All the usual consumable items, brake pads, belts, shocks, drive shafts (they lasted well, 250 000 kms out of them) etc. So, with that sort of history lesson, do you now understand why I am exstatic that my Corolla made the 300 000 km mark? I finally understand the slogan "Oh what a feeling".

monzter, that looks awesome, well done.

I like wagons, and like lambo's, but that is ugly. The cop car would absolutely rock though. http://www.supercars.net/PD?displayPotd=y&back=3

looks great mate. is there anyway to edit out your reflection from the video? Anyone know how professionals film without reflections?
