GTM Libra Z-Cars Conversion

[Yazza54]

Some may remember the conversion that rdodger had Z-Cars develop some 7 or so years ago that reportedly transformed the handling. Basically doing away with the 2no trailing arms per side and installing a rose jointed swing arm effectively, with substantial bracing joining each side together. This not only did wonders for the general flex in the components and bulkhead but also remedied the tendency for the set up to go out of adjustment.

Since then Z-Cars changed ownership, eventually went bump, and is now back up and running with a joint venture between the original owner Chris and a previous customer David Rose. They have located the jigs and are up for making a batch of kits again to make it more cost effective for everyone. Therefore I'm trying to gauge/drum up some interest.

I'm guessing most Libra/Spyder owners here are already on the GTMOC forum, but if anyone hasn't already seen this and may be interested, please follow the link below

They have also been looking into retrofitting a Hayabusa subframe into a GTM Rossa amongst many other weird and wonderful things.
