Yes, Hipari's are incoming soon.

awesome i am in knoxville. i just got rid of my 81 280zx turbo and i miss it. i have a 96 300zxNA now and it is sweet but im always too worried about messing it up and keeping it clean. i really wanted a s13 coupe but the z is partially my dads car. Im only 17 and i still have to do what my dad wants. he doesnt like 240's just because he never had one. hes a big supra and z guy but im still happy with my z

Great cars! Both look great and (supposedly) will perform so.

....supposedly? Ghost don't build no goddamn salad wagons

[Darkstar]

Well, I didn't see the car in reality, I didn't see anything except these photos, and I don't even know the specs of the car, and I also don't know Ghost personally, so how can I know how it will perform, Parry?

Awesome, get's better the more I drive it. Runs good, sounds like gangbusters and handles great. Going to tune her up and then should be good to go.

Coming from a guy who has owned some fairly serious automobiles in his day I figure that means it doesn't suck. That's on top of the fact that the car is obviously being built up very cleanly and profssionaly by the sixgun guys on top of the fabulous body work by Adam, and their cars are always well rounded.

If you had seen any of ghost's other posts or comments you would quickly realize that unlike 3/4 of this board he knows his stuff.

On top of that, I found the comment somewhat insulting. Not that I'm ever polite but hey...nobody's perfect.

goast is my hero!

due goast rocks! im preety shure it was him that used to be a driver instructer for stunt cars or something like that can you correct me?

[Ghost of Duluth]

Yea, I used to help out teaching stunt driving in Seattle.

The car was finished by Adam and myself, Adam mostly, the bodywork was done by some guy in Atlanta. I don't know him but if he somehow reads this, you rule.

The car isn't too shabby. It is still working out some kinks and stuff, the handling is a little scary at this point. Going to get it aligned and all that jazz. But around town, it is downright nasty. People almost wipe looking at it. I feel like Jesse James riding around in that thing with it being all steel.

Well, Jesse "didn't actually do the bodywork" James.

[Tsunami]

Yeah I thought it was fiberglass, but that's really good for all steel, everything blends in smoothly. So how much does she have under the hood Ghost? Can't wait to see her with the hipari's on, but I just gotta know, how's the Rx7 feel about the "other woman" in her driveway?

[X-BoxDrifter]

wow, those are nice cars...hopefully i get my own 280zx this weekend. but anyways u guys did an awesome job on your cars.

[Ghost of Duluth]

RX7 is feeling the weight of all teh stuff stacked on it.

The Z turned out great...
but time to hijack this thread...

no love for my Z??

[Ghost of Duluth]

You go bad boy. I like that Z.

Here's the final shots as of late.







I put the spacers on and now the wheels fill out the wells quite nicely. Still need to wire the gauges up, make turn signals work and a lot of other little stuff. I was shocked at how light the wheels are on that car. I think, with the tire, they feel like 12 lbs. Insanely light. Real 2 piece, riveted Centerlines.
