I can’t even believe that someone would spend all of that time and effort to do these things. Blows me away that this guy probably has like 20k into this thing. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > I’m really disturbed that it doesn’t look like a total hack job. I agree. The car is well proportioned, although a little comical. I mean, if you were to make a Hotwheels car, and the theme was “hot rod Z3” this thing is perfect with hood scoop and side pipes. I have always thought that a really good V6 is better suited for a Miata (lighter, sits behind front axle, better weight distribution). The 3.1 is not a really good V6. ---

True. The engine bay was setup for the KL V6 found in the probes but the 4 cylinder sold so well they never did it. Which is a plus for guys wanting to cram a v8 in there. ---

did someone actually sell Z3 body conversion kits for these things? either the one STR8 H8N posted is another one that’s been painted almost the same color but with a different drivetrain, or it is the same car in a previous form… ---

I was hoping for a reason on the refused offer, but he didn’t give a reason. Kind of disappointed about that. ---
