Forged Performance: Project 370Z Race Car Build!!

ChrisSlicks · 11-26-2012, 01:31 PM

Looks completely repairable to me, especially for track car duty. New front right suspension, a couple of front frame rail extensions, some speed tape to hold the body together and good to go!

Oh jeez, that is right here in Houston. Auction's tomorrow at noon. Hmmmmmmm

VoBoy · 11-26-2012, 11:47 PM

guru · 11-27-2012, 12:48 AM

Questions I still had from viewing just the pics could not get out of the office today.
What brakes are on the car.
What does the front look like behind the bumper, intercooler, radiator, etc.
Rear wheel & suspension in one picture look off.

With that I think anything over 10k is not worth it.

SPOHN · 11-27-2012, 05:11 PM

I know the car had Stoptech trophy series BBK. I saw a pic behind the front bumper but a long time ago. It had bad damage. Not worth 12K IMO. But hard to say. There was at least 100K in the car. It's in a salvage yard for a reason.

wstar · 11-27-2012, 05:19 PM

Well, the big wildcard in my mind was whether it still had that $9,300 set of JRZ 3-way coilovers, and whether the one on the damaged front corner was destroyed. If it had that and most of the brake hardware, maybe some of the custom hardware for cooling, maybe cut out most of the cage for re-use on another car, etc, it might've been a decent pickup for somewhere in the $6-10K range. I didn't get a chance to see it in person first so I let it go

SPOHN · 11-27-2012, 05:33 PM

I forgot about the JRZ's.

EVOR · 11-27-2012, 07:28 PM

This Z was at salvage yard auction twice. First time back in sept. it had a serious front right damage. The wheel was off. At that time original race seat was still on the car. This time the front right was fixed. But I think stoptech BBK was removed. driver side race seat replaced. Car listed as runs and drives. I think someone had fixed it before. They use it as race car for few rounds and salvage the car again. My max offer was at 8800. I think 12300 is just to much of risk.

Am I reading this correctly? It's back on auction? Copart

wstar · 12-23-2012, 08:18 PM

Yup. I guess the previous buyer stripped the good stuff, either that or the sale fell through.

guru · 12-25-2012, 02:43 AM
