DarthZ Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I would like a full 280yz kit. I know where i can go to buy a new one, but wanted to see if anyone here had one they might want to sell first. I will also be looking for new doors. If any one has any fully-functional fiberglass doors, i might be interested in those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthZ Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 http://www.reactionresearch.com/pricelist.html#280yz click ctrl F and then type "door" and hit enter a couple times, it will take you down to them. They are quoted at $345 each. John Washington, the guy who makes these parts, is willing to work a better deal if we can get a big group together to purchase body parts. I have already emailed with him some about the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ztronz Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm also interested in a set of used 280YZ parts, but only the rear quarter panels. If you get what you want and happen to hear of an extra set of rear quarters, I'll buy them. Or if you just want the front fenders and can only buy a set of four, I'll throw in with you.

DarthZ Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 just email John at reaction research. He can get parts out quick and does awesome work. FYI... to all... MODS I don't know how this plays into the rules of this site but a guy PM'd me earlier offering to make some 280YZ knock offs. I guess he just got a set and is going to make molds. 1. Has anyone ever heard of intellectual property? 2. Why would you want parts of unknown quality, when the real deal is available and priced pretty well? That said, if anyone has any real 280YZ parts for sale, or wants in on a group buy let me know and i will keep track of what everyone wants and get back with John about making us some good stuff.

DarthZ Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Nope, I had actually read that forum and went to check after i got the offer. It was a different guy looking to rip John off / get his money back from his own purchase. I understand the desire to do it, but the Golden rule stops me. I could maybe see someone making molds so they could make their own replacement parts if they figured the originals might get broken while racing......maybe......thats about it.

DarthZ Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Oh, i forgot to say that i already talked to John about it and he knows who... I am not disclosing; as the person knows who he is and so does John now and that can be the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine1342 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Any one know if the fiberglass doors that John sells are just fiberglass shells or can they be fitted to have working windows? I think it was him that said that they are for racing, so its a hollow shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZ Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 it is a hollow shell, but i am pretty sure all the regular door hardware can be installed in them. latches, hinges, window, window frame, locks...... Hit John with an email and post back what he says. Oh and anyone that buys parts, tell him I sent you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky280zx Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Since it sounds like you've got a deal going with him/have spoken many times im thinking that you need to get a group buy thread going on those doors. I for one would be interested in them especially if we could get a group buy for say 500 a pair + shipping or something close to that. I cant imagine why the race guys wouldnt be interested and then us regular folks that are tired of the rust and would love to shave some weight as well. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZ Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, i was hoping to find a member that had already purchased a kit, but decided to go a different direction. I will talk to John and get specific pricing dependent on price breaks and specs/pics on the doors and start a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
