olie05 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I would hardly call the speed 12 old school, and that picture certainly doesn't qualify as anything old school looking at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I like the chicken wire fender vent on that Alfa! I saw a Lotus 7 in London when I was there in 05 that had those on what I assume were the carb locations, it looked pretty purposeful. I want the wheels from post 229 right now!

Those are BBS cooling fans. They are plastic inserts that bolt into a standard BBS wheel. They were the hot setup in the early 80's. I have several sets, I don't use them, I like the deep dish look without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primadonna z Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 wow i haven't seen those pics before! more more more! The red car was 1st of the Primadonna's. Car #2 was the Black car, and #3 the white Scarab. Today only the Black, and White car are accounted for. These were the wildest Z's on the road 25 years ago.

OlderThanMe Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 SAWEET!! how far is the front hood extened from the stock length? I have though about doing a 2 piece front end with a longer and wider hood and have thought about extending the hood down like that. The front wing is funny... Is that the lawn edging mod along the side of the car? I thought of that but had not seen it done before for a street car but it makes sense. I think a huge-ish BRE spoiler would look great on that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

283VZ Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 srgunz, you posted some of my photos from a long time ago like Bob Sharp's Zcar and the Victors Zcar - lol!! Ernie/RacerX Ernie,the Victors car has the same flairs as my car, I've been trying to identify these flairs since I bought the car. This is the first time I've seen another like mine, anymore pics or info would be appreciated. -Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna z Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 SAWEET!!how far is the front hood extened from the stock length? I have though about doing a 2 piece front end with a longer and wider hood and have thought about extending the hood down like that. Is that the lawn edging mod along the side of the car? I thought of that but had not seen it done before for a street car but it makes sense. The distance from the centerline of the front wheel on both a G-nose, and the Primadonna to the extreme front of the car is 39 inches. I don't have a standard body s30 to compare that measurement with. Take a measurement I would be interested in knowing. As far as the skirting, It was a fairly popular mod in the 80's. There were even some kits at the parts stores that you could buy. I think that I do recall some people purchasing their aerodynamic needs at the local garden center though. As far as the Primadonna when I got the car there was no skirting on the sides. However, I would assume because the front skirting on the car is about 1/2 in thick reinforced rubber conveyor belt material, that any skirting on the side would have be the same. Let's face it, any skirting that you put on the vehicle better have some grunt to be effective, especially at speed. Ever seen a urethane nose on a Camaro at 110 mph? leave the edging material at the garden shop......unless your Mr Green Jeans (now I'm giving away my age).

jhaag Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 SHADY 280: What is the scale of the #33 Bob Sharp ZX model in your earlier post? If it is 1:18, I will start digging around on the web to see if I can find one. Thanks! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
