Tim240z Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Wow, Nicely done. I love his (the seller's) narration....... Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I`m not a big fan of the hood or the color, but overall it`s a very clean job that deseves respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I've never liked red either, or the hood scoop style (although it is certainly functional!) That aside, it is one HOT car! I love the write up too - the guy obviously loves the car (I wonder why he's selling it..?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 The four top reasons a guy would sell a car that he loves, 1)layoff 2)kid on the way 3)divorce 4)wedding Not neccessarily in that order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 OK, I give up. How do you paint the inside of a car white and a welded-in cage red? Regardless, that's a nice car, very nicely detailed. And a pretty nice house, too. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z8 Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Though ultimately not my dream Z, you've got to respect the workmanship! I've got to wonder how he gets that thing to hook up at all with those tires on it? They didn't look very substantial, but you don't get a good look at the rears.

Guest thepenguin99 Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Very nice car. I can only wish I had the money to bid on it because I dang sure can't afford to build it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Not my paste personally but it is a very well built machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 SWEET DASH WHERE DO I GET ONE?? How much weight do you think that would save over the stock dash??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 SWEET DASH WHERE DO I GET ONE?? How much weight do you think that would save over the stock dash??? You'll have to custom make one. If you use sheet aluminum, I would guess it would be very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 What did he do with the brake booster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 What did he do with the brake booster? Brakes? What brakes? And no, the rear tires are completely inadequate for the task at hand. 400 hp, a 3,500 rpm stall speed, and rubber that skinny would be damned scary on the street.

Scottie-GNZ Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I find it surprising someone would build a car like that and not post, showoff even, a timeslip. Lots of smoky burnouts but nothing to brag about with skinny street tires. The most interesting thing of all is the rear-end or lack of information, i.e. Only mention is "a fully locked rear-end" and seeing 4-lugs and no mention of an R200 upgrade you have to assume a welded R-180. I find it hard to believe but on the other hand, no knowledgeable hybridZ owner would omit mention of an R200 upgrade if it was done. Methinks this car has never seen a dragstrip. Know I am being picky but some poor sap is going to buy a gorgeous, well-built car and have to sink another couple of grand for a worthy solid setup, wheels and tires if they want to fully maximize the capability of this car. If the HP claims are correct, it has low-10s potential. Add 1 more excuse to why it is being sold. Simply ran out of money to finish the conversion. The attention to detail is fabulous.

SleeperZ Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 What did he do with the brake booster? The engine will never develop vacuum, so what's the use of vacuum assist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casey240Z Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 I live in Santa Barbara and I have never seen or heard of this car which is weird. So it must not be driven much. I do have to agree that the guy is crazy for putting those little wheels and tires on that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
