Caen Fred

Hey, if my car is back on the road I am in.... Fred

Sean is right, he is English ! I am the French one and you better get your car runing or I will come and catch you:love::love: I collect Z and girls and I have no ZX yet as today... Fred

nice avatar you've got there Sean, I wonder what it is and where it come from????????? Ah Ah Ah, free advertsing...

your's is the white one in the back ground, right?

Humm!! we do have members from our Zen club in the Orleans area, but not any use to you 'cause it's the "Old Orleans" in France!!!!!! Good luck and keep high hopes budy Fred

just got a z432 from Fujimi ... They also have it in ZG, Racing ZG, Z240, rally Works... 1/24 scale almost Tamiya quality...

Being different! that's all their is about it I think. So why not going with a Ferrari Kit if it's your trip. I too think that the GTO isn't the best Ferrari to duplicate(remember that the kit came out during the crazy overvalued days of the GTO mania). I once saw a Cobra Coupé replica that was more appealing to my tastes.

No need to argue about taste and colors... What I am wondering is if they need that kind of "presence" to sale their cars ? Well, ok, Mercedes and BMW have done it ... so when will we have an Infiniti Luxoracingsedan ?

Oh boy, whats next, the Queen in Reebook ????????

Hallo too, do you think that a mould could be done out of it? Hope you had sun down there (well, here you see, fellow Australian than when we say south in Europe it doesn't go a lot farther than Spain or Portugal!) cause’ winter is coming fast around here… Any advice about Zutopia, should we count your club in also? Take care, Fred

hope so Mr Z-point... Fred from the other great cheese country...

Thank's you two, fast and efficient as usual. Alan, I wonder about those jap bonnets, I saw a nice (matter of taste!) Toyota 2000, it was yellow with a dark olive green bonnet. Was it usual to use tinted matt colours ? In Europe I only know the black type, like from Opel, Simca, Ford, Peugeot… I think that satin is ok? I was afraid that greasy fingers would mark and stamp the surface, but in fact, it must be easyer to maintain clean.

What kind of paint would you use to paint it? plain black with a mat varnish, flat black paint ? All of you replica boys this one's for ya ! Fred

Alors là , you're all wrong "zaid" that's the only way to pronounce it, glad it's not a zed hex, zee hix, no zaid ixe grrrrrrr........ forum!!! humm and what about peugeot...

Salut encore, I think that MSA is selling louvered panels for the 280Z, they where "factory" upgrade at the time. Or we need to source a used one from an older 280Z, any junkyard rats around... s"il-vous-plait?

is that what your looking for ? Salut Sean, I think that their price is under average, and don't know anything about the company...

See, that's what I was talking about in a previous post. I would also change my wiring harness if the price was right, and if a new one was available... How many are we in this case? I say it again lets organize us to have those parts made for us at the price we want... We have enough knowledgeable peoples around to develop the right product from the first time... and more than 1000 members, thats a lot of individual, it's called mass market. Finding the spec wouldn’t be too hard, and when you see at what speed the wiring get gremlined... I am ready to put a deposit for a product like that, refundable if it doesn't turn out the way we want. If we have enough founds then we could ask a few company to start their proposal. We keep the cash on a bank account then business start... Any lawyer around to put the business plan together??? So up to now, that’s : # 1 : wiring harness # 2 : mud, water splash guard # 3 : interior panels in a more recent material, same look better plastic # you say it...

Humm, I think Ken is already on this...

new rust free Z, affordable My new ride is on it's way... I shrink as I get older anyway, so one day I will fit in !

Hey, I second that. First because Sean is our club president (so he his always right, right?) and then because he his our club presi... (!!!!!). No, seriously, rust is the Z killer, is there an after market splash guard for the inner wheel arch in front and rear or a Z body???? If not, isn't-it time to design one, unbreakable plastic is cheap today, maybe if ye get 500 + orders form we could have a company design one. No more mud on top of those air channel... Keep your orders coming.... still 498 to go (hey, what about a nice poll... ?) Fred = 1 Sean = 2

Hello Alan, mine is black... I will crawl under to check if there is anything special about it. I never thought about having it chromed but it's not a bad idea, in fact it's a very good one... Would you go to a Zutopia meeting ? In UK or in an other euro country ?

Alan, my older car, a LHD French one is equipped with this footrest. I am thinking of reusing it in the LHD one. My question is : is there a place to find the rubber protection that goes on the bar ? I can restore the metal part to good enough condition but it will be just time wasted if I cannot put a decent clean rubber part on it after the new powder coating !

Any good definition picts of a Z painted in Old English White or in Primrose? someone? Please?

Your are right about the greatness of this invaluable site! I will think about your idea. Maybe is there another way around... with all the connexion and attention this site has, maybe we could accept to lose a little of this nice space to lend it to a respectable Z related company? Don't get me wrong, I do not want this wonder bannered in all sorts of colourful coupon offer, it's just that at 150$ a month, a Z company would nicely get it's money back, and gain a nice publicity for SUPPORTING this web site? As a gentleman, I am welling to by the stuff I need to this "Company of the month" (if they play a clean game!). Witch make me thinking, we are more than a few now here, could we work some kind of order sheet, maybe in grouping our command we could get some parts refurnish or even redesign… I am thinking of Carbon fibber hoods, wings, tailgates… New crystal tail lens… for one order they wouldn’t move, I wouldn’t either but for 50 or 100… We could do the whole thing the other way around and maybe ask for what we want before it’s even done????? Together we are power!!!!! Just my 2 eurocents here!

A teaser...
