Both my cars were build in Japan and i'm very happy about that


On the subject of the JDM craze: i really think that everyone here is so obsessed with those cars only because they can not be had over here. After all, whats so great about their cars? Sure they get some better (different) styling, but we get better engines here because of the crazy taxes they have on high horsepower / displacement cars. i prefer the L28 in my 280zx over the L20 in the JDM Failady Z-cars, and the VQ30 in my Maxima over the JDM VQ20 that powers the Cefiero (what the maxima is called on the other side of the ocean)... and i must mention one more thing, Japanese kids are just as crazy about USDM mustangs as we are about the r34 skyline, all because they can not be had over there

Yeah, but just imagine their dissapointment when they actually get ahold of one of those precious mustangs and find out that it's a flaming POS

lww

Just to clarify Rod's statement above, where on the other hand, the Skyline is not.

Hey JfairldayZ, Seeing as you are in the business of making body parts, I was wondering if you could possibly make a spoiler like the one in my first post or this one-

Fiberglass or carbon? I can getcha covered. Gotta few things I'm doing in the mean time, but when I get a chance I'll let you know.

KTM200-280zxt

J-I think carbon would be pretty cool but whatever is easiest for you. When you have time just let me know. It's not really a big rush anyways, my cars going to be covered in snow for the next 4 months or so. Would you have a rough estimate on how much something like that would cost?

Thanks
Rob

It's all the same as far as ease goes when making something like that. I finally realized what made that wing look so different to me. The fact that its only as wide as the hatch. Most, if not all the other wings I've seen, as far as I can remember anyways, span the width of the whole car and then some. This one's got a much cleaner look to it. As far as a price on something like that: I'd say close to $200. Maybe not quite that much, but that's a high estimate. Which is still lower than what MSA is charging for their CF spolier for the S30 cars http://www.zcarparts.com/store/merch...t_Code=50-1526 . Making the first parts really blows cause I actually lose money once the cost of the mold and plug and everything else is factored in. Of course, once I sell a couple of them I'll start pulling a profit

KTM200-280zxt

That is exactly why I like that one, because it doesn't go past the hatch. Also because the lip spoilers that MSA sells for our cars don't look like they go up straight enough. As far as the prce goes that is awesome, don't worry about charging me to much because I don't want you to be losing money.
Thanks
