Is this stuff really flammable when it gets going?
WHAT do you end up with once it's built? )
The only thing I can add to this discussion is this: I work with firearms, repairing, rebuilding and inspections. We would never use FRP in a stressed part of a weapon, usually only steel will do. Having said that, a manufacturer named Glock make a number of pistols and assault rifles out of non-metal materials proving that there are exceptions to every rule.
Only way to find out is for someone here to buy one and drive it. If he/she survives..... probably a good buy! Haha

Nicknamed "Combat Tupperware" if I'm correct due to the polymer parts!
It would be interesting to see a complete car TBH. I think the most valid point made however is the one over the amount of money and effort needed to build one of these up - all the painstaking drilling/bracketry, etc - making everything bolt up to the shell. Much easier to start with a real rebuilt Z shell and use FRP/CF panels bolted to it if you want to go the lightweight route. A rustproof Z does have a certain appeal though...
mx5 would be ideal for a donor for either bodykit 240Z/escort
Zedhead260 and Grolls, this is really boring and a 'turn off' for anyone originally interested in this thread.
In fact I'm seriously thinking of editing it down to 'on topic' posts about the FRP bodyshell.
Enough is enough.
Do it Rob, it's well off topic.

Then dont read it.....plain and simple really, is this turning in to a 300 forum where members cant have banter, some mild excitement and a little bit of fishing.....or is the site going to go down the pan like the mag....no wonder we are of less membership. Rob and I have thrown the bait down and replied, have we been out of order to offend any one?.....nope, well not in my view so modding it was pointless to be honest ive had enough anyway giving my time and effort to the club a long time ago.... good luck to the cliques massaging each other in the corner, one day you'll stand alone!!!... anyone for a pot of cheap KY, some sand for extra grip included FOC....lol......
I'm with you mate .............. so long as I can poke you in the eye from time to time !
Maybe we should break away and leave the wall-flowers and mopsies alone. Shall we start a new, fun Z forum ?
