260DET Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 The S130 is one very neglected Z, for some reason. IMHO it has some advantages over the S30, particularly the coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 i might be able to get a line of ZX CF hoods started if there is enough interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok i know it is rice but ! it also would gice the air a good place to exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drftn280zxt Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 how is the rest of the car developing Drftn280zxt[/b']? What do you mean? Heres some of my ideas for my Z and my ideas for a possible carbon hood design. Tell me what you think, open to ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well, any opinions. Oh yeah there is a guy here in town that will make custom carbon fibre parts for cars. Whether its oe replacement or widebody custom, does not matter. I have yet to discover if he makes his parts my hand laying the carbon or if he does it with vacuum packing. He quoted my co-worker about 300-400 bucks for a carbon trunk for his Evolution, that is with all the same latching mechanisms too, no racing pins! I thought about considering him, assuming he still around, years down the road for my widebody ideas. Carbon would be sweet plus it would save a lot of weight, especially on the hood, those OE hoods are heavier than he#$! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 WOW you're an awesome artist. the second picture has an especially sexy carbon, forumla style hood :]]] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
