I might go and buy a Z cars kit, pay them to build it for me, decide to I don't like the colour, pay for another really expensive paint job, done by someone else (the first most expensive guy I find) then sell the car for pitence because I didn't really want a Z car conversion in the first place *breathes...*

just to *yellow human water* syko_mini off!! :tongue: :tongue:

PS. Its spelt Pyscho! Its bad enough you can't pronounce Aluminium!! :tongue:

I purposely spelt it syko for a reason. Your thoughts and opinions mean nill to me. Just like mine do to you! We get no where really if you think about it. But I'm done on this topic on this board... for now :gasp:

Dude thats fair enough but at the end of the day its his money and he'll spend it how it pleases him.

Oh and I doubt anyone on this forum chooses parts for their car to make others happy, so far I've spent alot of money building my car up making it look presentable whilst the engine is still a standard 998. Some people may moan and do the opposite but if its what I like its all that matters.

If I built a Z Cars conversion I wouldnt want to go all out on trying to make it do the best 0-60 possible by becoming obsessed with making everything lightweight etc. I'd rather have a fun car that makes me happy rather than the crowds

Yup, your totally correct. Build your car for what you want. Some people like their cars "All show No Go" others like me like "All go No show". The problem there lies when a company caters to the All show crowd and leaves the All go crowd sitting back with their hands tucked in their pockets with a upset look on their face.

Yea, They cater to one crowd. Thanks for strengthening my complaint. I've watched videos of the car. Thats all I've seen and I'm not about to fly over a massive pond to see one either! :-

Take er easy guys, I'm off on vacation now.

I would like to return to this thread...my friend is building a Z cars mini for me... at the moment I am working in London all week and returning to Yorkshire at the weekend and therefore do not have anytime to do it myself( this way I get the car about 6 months quicker ) .
The car will be for aimed for trackdays but will be road registered.
Because I am a larger being some of the parts might be in carbon, but because I have already blown the budget they might not !
The car will be understated but I aim to have a "fast Min" appearance.
I have been investigating this project for quite a while because you tend to do this when you know what you want .

A pleasant weekend to you all

That would be the All-Go crowd then yea? Isn't that fastest mini in the world a bike-engined mini? And there aren't many cars that can beat it 0-60?!?

This bloke hammered me with 4 very long e-mails ranting about z-cars. I think he is actually a jilted girlfriend from Chris Allansen's past.

I actually think he's just P1$$ed that Z-cars turned down his idea for them to "sponsor" his build!! ;)

I never been in a ferrari enzo but I have seen pictures and a video of one but its all bling and expensive so it must be C**p made by a bunch of w@nkers ;) :- ;) lol

Sorry to have highjacked your thread a bit R500OLE but I just hate people who bad mouth a company with no justification at all!!!

Good luck with yours and keep us informed with how its coming along. :grin:

I've heard of Z Cars, Watched the Videos of there cars performing and all I can say is I want a go in one.

How anybody can comment on there work without physically seeing the work, Speaking to the people behind the scenes or actually having built there own version is beyond me.

Perhaps this fella should go back to Daisy and the Dukes and just forget about ever coming back :-
