I tried to e-mail him last year. No reply.

 

The kit is all done buy themselves. Thomas made a air dam thats different to the msa in a big way. You just cant really tell inthe light that the photos are taken in. The flares are modified 911 turbo ones.

 

Mabye he doesnt understand english, (fair enough, I cant speak any other language)hence no reply.

 

IMHO this is the best looking air dam i have seen on a z. I might just go down to the shed and see if i can come up with something similar.

The photos are 15 years old. I made the car myself and I sold it

4-1/2 years ago to Norway. The rear flares were modified 930

steel. Front flares were 930 fibreglass. All vents functional.

The airdam had 2 oil coolers, Hella foglights and 1975 VW

Beetle turn signal lights. Taillights were 1984 Corvette. Panel

between hood and windscreen had the stock vent closed off.

Roof gutter removed. Rear wing is fibreglass 280 ZXR. Might

not be the best looking but it was the best for top speed.

Paint was Porsche Prussian Blue (33X)

 

I speak English but my Z-car interest is behind me now.

 

I dont have any tooling to make more copies of the parts.

Howdy Thomas,

 

Thanks for the reply. Thats a mighty fine z you made there. Thats one of the best airdams I have seen for the z. I have a photo of a red one on my fridge. Its a shame about no longer having the moulds. Did you destroy them or pass them one to someone else?

Sorry, the part was modified by using flat sheets of fibreglass that

were laminated into the air dam. That air dam had a problem. I

was lifting it self in the middle due to aftercuring. With the oil

coolers it got some added weight and stiffness to keep the shape.

I originally bought this air dam from Impact Parts in N.Y. State

in 1982 I think. (I am old!!!)

 

I made several high speed "tests" to 275 km/h (7000 rpm in 5:th)

but it was rock solid. Dont try this unless you dont have speed

limits or you are friends with the local police. (I am and I have

tuned their patrol cars)

 

I made another version with the bumper moulded in. You might

have seen that on a red car from Norway. Albrecht Graf Goertz

wrote a nice comment to the owner about the modifications

(front and rear bumper skirts) and the owner has most of the

moulds I had for the parts. He also own's my old Z now.

The current owner sent me the link to this topic so he can answer

if the car is for sale (everything is to the right price). He also have

some of the moulds.

The mirrors were my own. I couldnt get the shape right on them

but I sold a few copies anyway. They were glued to the window

frame and "chrome" strip with black silicone. They stuck like they

were welded on after curing for a few days. Before I had Porsche

911 RSR style mirrors but to see anything in them was difficult.

Anyone concidered using BMW Z3 fenders to make a flared kit for the 240? It seems kinda obvious, since technicaly they're both Z cars. HA HA HA! :wink: Alright, I'm sorry... But seriously, that would look pretty cool, huh?

Those flares looks REALLY awesome. I think I'll either attempt to fabricate my own or buy the porsche ones. I can't believe you're not into ZCAR's anymore man. That thing is a work of art.
