Sparky

okay fellas, hope you guys have a fast connection. i will post 30 cars that I want to own in my lifetime. 5 of these pictures are from cars I already own(ed) here are the first ten.

I didnt know there was a spokes challenge! do you have more info? if i can race one of my saved cars im in!

just to let all of you GT fans out there know, I am undefeated against human players. So if yall would like to meet up at the west coast nats, or the ZCCA show and challenge me, I give you fair warning. you will be walking away with your head down in shame.. 8) on a lighter note Cant wait until gt4 comes out, or for that matter, play station 3. Also, Have any of you ever played Tokyo highway battle? its a really old game that came out on PS1 years and years ago, I think that its the first "midnight club/wangan midnight" game because the final car is a black porsche 911 called the backbird. anywho...you can find it for 10$, its still fun for being so old..but its easy to beat. I would like to see a game that you can dowload cars from a website in order to add to your collection. then you could customize your car(S) or even build your own (or dowload from another player that has your car) It should be realistic, and the swaps and modding should be the same..ie...more $$$ = more speed and handling. it should have several modes of play, including: city street street racing, drag racing, drifting competitions, head to head racing on famous tracks (again, some on the disc, and some downloadable (how bout the entire Nurburgring?) you should, in the street racing mode, be able to race for money, bragging rights, or pink slips. same with all the other battles. you should have different city "arenas" that are as life like and close to the actual city as possible (memory intensive yes..but these would be located on a central gaming server) complete with AI cops, and other drivers, even traffic at certain times of the day. also, I would love to see a cross country battle available (or maybe just intrastate) so that you, and other players could wager a certain amount to see who could race from houston to dallas as fast as possible. you could plan your route using roads from a real atlas before hand, then enter your route into the computer so your "navigation" system could guide you while racing. new york to LA anyone? I will bet my RB AWD 70 240Z that i can get there the fastest. would that not be awesome!! I would pay damn good money for that.

it seems that the $$$ your spending on your honda swap in not unheard of, thats why I just cant figure out why the honda guys do what they do! (I am thankful however that they have not been buying Z cars, hopefully they stay in the "dark" on this one. Dont know what I would do if the first gens became the what the Civic is for this group. ) anywho... I supose the trend is shifting slightly to cheaper faster cars, I know that the 240SX has been getting alot more attention lately, and with the new drifting trend, its only going to get worse. I hate thieves as well im lucky enough to only experiance one small incedent just last week, Somebody in my neighborhood went into my car while the windows where down and went through my 50CD wallet, Taking only what they liked! its really kinda funny, at least I know this guy had good taste... anywho...good luck with the project....

Well, Yet another voice of reason, the statement was made earlier that what you see is oly half of whats there. I totally agree. Unless you ahve some sort of attachment to this car, I would shop around. It really sucks to see another 240Z cut up and parted out, But sometimes its not worth the effort in both time and money to bring her back. But hey, Whatever floats your boat, im lucky enough to have started out with a fairly good example...do what you got-ta-do oh... and good luck with that one, should you pursue it, keep us posted and rub your progresss in our faces!

yummy carbon fiber bits! things I would like to see... Dash cap and or dash steering column cover with built in gauge pod. center console HVAC control panel Hood Hatch Tail light panel 240Z/280Z New airdam style like this: any maybe even a conversion kit for the 240SX pre cut splitter for most MSA style airdamns....or even a prepreg sheet that could be "cut to fit" It would also be kinda nice if somebody would offer flat sheets of layed up glossy CF that you could but into anything you wanted. or not...shipping would be a bit much for the kinda size i would like. cowl panel Access doors. two sizes of ZG flares! stuff stuff and more stuff.

My spam filter has been deleting every single Email for the last three days. Im sorry if you have been trying to get a hold of me, but you can try again now! thanks!

There was an old rally vid on Speedvision long ago....when they went to interview one of the drivers the interviewer ask him "when you feel the car get loose whats the first thing you think of." driver says "well, Im looking for the best thing to hit, and when your choice is a rock wall or people, I chose people, because they are squishy." anywho...thats not the exact quote, but close enough.

-20! Holy crap, the coldest weather I have ever been in would have to be -5 but with no wind. How the hell do your hands even work when its that cold? mine are just extra numb weight in those temps. le-brrrrrrrrrr!

yeah, We keep crashing it. O well, maybe next time eh? nice chatting with all of yall though.

Awesome! it really doesnt look to be all that painful of a swap, looks alot easier than i thought it would be...but what do I know, I'm not the one doing to work! Thats going to be so nice when you get it going. are you going to do any detail work to the engine compartment? make it as shiny and nice as the outside? -S

Don't get your hopes up to high. I thought mine was going to go down alot' date=' because you always hear people bragging about how much thier insurance dropped when they hit the age of 25. Mine only went down $12 for the year !M![/quote'] I guess Im lucky, My insurance went down 48$ a month when I turned 25. and Considering I live in a High rate County, thats pretty damn good. I dont even mind paying insurance now looks like we have a wide range of Z fanatics here. Bravo! thats the thing about the early Z cars... they are still semi-affordable so that people from just about every income, or age group can afford one. keeping the Z alive! laterZ

ooooooo Mesmerizing.........

Hey cool! I used to have one of those, 1987 Nissan Sentra Hatchback. it was a really fun little car, and kept going and going, which was a big surprise considering that I only paid 700$ for it! (and with the rear seats down you could carry two S30 fenders, a fourspeed trans, and four SOHC heads. )(and if so inclined, you could go for a quicky in the back too!) I really miss that car and hope that my X is taking good care of it. somehow though, I seriously doubt that. wish I could find another one in that price range. here is one on autotrader.com: http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/vdetail.jtmpl?car_id=148454895&dealer_id=3532380&car_year=1987&make=NISSAN&distance=any&max_price=&model=SENTRA&advcd_on=n&end_year=1988&min_price=&certified=n&address=78148&search_type=used&advanced=n&start_year=1987&color=&cardist=1781

Yeah, im not sure i want to die from it (hope that guy didnt, but thats a hell of a blast) but still curious ya know.

what I would like to see is the T-shirt logo on a smallish clear background sticker. maybe just the right size so that i could place one on each qtr window. that would be nice. P.S. ever though about a HybridZ.org cafepress online store? they do all the work for you and can have whatever logo you want put on whatever they offer, coffe mugs, aprons, t-shirts ETC. people place an order through them, then they make it and ship to the customer, whatever money from the sale is left over from thier costs, gets sent in check form to the shop owner, maybe we could set it up where it goes into the HybridZ.org account and we could put that moneys right back into the sight (for upgrades or hosting costs...etc etc. ) anywho, thats my thought of the day.

its a euro Ford Escort. and the driver did survive.

Holy Schmidt! That last explosion was freaking incredible! Man that would be one heck of an experience to feel that kind of blast. I’m very curious about what that must have felt like (only curious as long as I don’t loose any limbs, or bodily function) But wow.

looking good mike, that green is just awesome....makes me miss my car buy anywho....its going to be one hell of a ride once you get it done! whhhhhoooooshhhhhhhh..PSSSSST! yup.

I want my degree now! lots of brains here though....we should all get together and take over the world.
