Message It’s a very good idea to drive my Z off a cliff or into a wall and I would like anyone of you doing it for me as a volunteer to save my skin and collect the $46,000.00 (including sale taxes) from my insurance company and thereafter, many local Z friends as OppamanZ will call my insurance company right away to buy the rest of car just to get all nice parts available on it! If any of TT.net Z owners do same with his Z, I’m pretty sure that most of them won’t get the half of this amount!

In spring 2002, when car was going to be painted over because I have gone out of road into a field on a icy road late in November 2001, OppamanZ did offer me the 99 J-Spec bumper that was very expensive at $1500.00 not installed. The complete Vielside Japanese fiberglass bodykit was available in Ontario state for same price (a copy of course) so I have preferred to modify the car look all over but installation has cost me over $3000.00 in labour time. The second main reason to buy it was because it was replacing the trunk OEM spoiler and the one over is not to high but just nicely designed. The Z trunk has a dull look without any spoiler which need to be removed when you install a Stillen or any other brand spoilers.

In general opinion from about 20 sport compact car show shine events made, about same amount of peoples that were present at the convention, have told me they (from 15 to 75 years old) were loving so much the car with this body kit style because it does not change too much the car profile with a nicely designed and not too high spoiler. That's why I have registered it in the people choice, the paint is chipped all over on the front bumper because this car is going on the track sometimes.

Is there anyone Z owners here who has received as much as 11 awards from other show shine events than restricted ones to Z cars (I’ve got 5 total awards from 3 consecutive Z-conventions and 2 off them were from people choice) with your conservative style Z? My award collection does reflect the general people appreciation to the car look. It's exactly the reason for me to show the car in these expositions with the amount of positive comments received about the car that reflects my passion and hours of commitment to get the final result. More, this passion has encouraged me to rebuilt the engine 9 times over 9 years and 8 times within 3 years (the defective clutch system was destroying my crank trust bearing) with 80 labour hours involved and repair parts purchased each time without any job income!

I'm a racer in my heart not a show shine addict. My main reason to have a sport car is to get the feeling when I drive it on a track. Show shine and perfect sport car (I mean unused cars without any damage on it as the ZCCA judging rules) are for collector only as a $ investment for future but they never enjoy driving it. It's like having an escort woman holding your arm in public and never fuck her hard!

Now, you can agree that I have received enough people votes (the women ones probably) to equal the best ZCCA Z32 modified class winner Michael Twitty and even if I wasn't a fast car at the drag racing (13.5 sec) and 17th faster at Deland auto-cross, the show points have brought me in third place at FZA challenge ahead of David Palermo (0.5 faster) and Derek Heim (3 seconds faster). These both last were lucky to be mentioned at the closing banquet because it was supposed to have 3 first place awards for the FZA, fourth and fifth awards were probably added with final results on hand but I guess it would never been added if I would have get only the fourth or fifth place!

It's a known thing (for us over the border) that anything that come from or start in any other country than USA is disregarded to have any such value to your eyes as an excess of chauvinistic. I have talked with William Coffey (240Z number 2 and 3rd faster at the Deland) at the drag track who was a lapping instructor. He told me that drifting sport (which has started in Japan) will be a dead sport in less than 5 years which give an good example of the American conservative mind.

The Cleveland 21st convention has a drifting event in his program so you better practice it if you don't want to be shifted between the seat and the steering...the real place where it does count and why the sport cars are built for...not to have the most popular Stillen or any and ONLY american made body kits on!

Conservative car external look don't either reflect the driver capacities to keep it on the track at the limit, the real sport car value over the style and HP output...I have heard to have upset some ones at the DIS auto-cross because I was using a different driving style, loosing time probably and passing close to timer device very often...if you didn't pictured the car you have talked a lot about the driver and I like it so much! Next year with Advan Neova tires on car from the Yokohama auction won the closing banquet, I will be a harder competitor, fighting less with my rear car continuous sliding so be ready to fight on the track...and on the drift event with more camber and sliding tires too!

Not a negative attitude... a challenging attitude that you will have to learn to deal with....from Canada! All of your comments didn’t change my mind about my car. You don’t like it and explain the absence of pictures but I don’t really care, just want to get the 16 track pictures taken by the studio and if I don’t get them here, I will buy the studio CD to save mine because I don’t have any interest either to most of conventional Z look there.

My ego is untouchable and the proof will be made next year again because I have met the 21st convention responsible who has confirmed me that ZCCA judged cars won’t be allowed to be in the people choice award to be fair with everybody!

I think that I'm keeping a minimum of respect to other members at anytime (as Barry'z NJ did replying ''Alain my friend...'') so please tell me when one of you will come at Montreal to scrap my car in order to collect my insurance check as soon as possible, a good income when you are not working for 3 years Loll!
