also, there's something i always wanted to know about this thread. why do we report sightings for stock zhps (not owned by enthusiasts)? don't sightings thread usually look for modded cars or cars (can be stock, but clearly looks to be cared for) that look like they are owned by enthusiasts? just wondering, cause i see a shitload of stock ones, i just never report it lol

That's just how we do... Since seeing them is somewhat rare.

Hieu is right in that they aren't really that uncommon around here. But as Dane said, that's just how we do Hieu! :)

PS Did I spell that right or do I have it backwards?

Came across this. Made me wonder if anybody's done this while not driving their ZHP?

yeah you got it right this time, i swear i don't even notice when you spell it wrong sometimes. i just autocorrect in my head.


i have a couple more questions lol how do you guys know it's a zhp when like you're driving by? like say there's just a full mt2 kit, you can't see inside. different wheels, different exhaust? do you guys just disregard them as non-zhps so that's why this thread seems to only have stock zhps or what if you saw a ZHP that is missing parts (like an mt2 side [ie johnrando's lol]), is that considered a fake?

sorry i'm just soooo bored, not having a car sucks so much. i can't go anywhere lol

We leave it up to the judgement of the see-er.

There's not that many cars with Mtech 2 on front and rear AND style 135s.

Sometimes I can see the cube trim pieces.

And then of course there's the one and only Imola Red :)

Yup, 135s, Mtech II, rear diffuser are the first tells for me. As Hieu was referring to, (you may recall this story), the body shop replaced my ZHP side skirt with a standard one on accident, and no one noticed for 18 months until Hieu did. The shop replaced it with the correct one for free.

Uh. The zhp one is different than zsp?

The orient coupe is back! Sitting on the side of the road this time; the owner nowhere to be seen!

yeah that's what i'm saying. usually to have all 3 things. it's like a stock zhp (or very lightly modded). otherwise, i think most modded (or fake ones) only have the full kit and like different wheels. like say my car. if you saw it, what would you classify it? modded 330 (ie fake) or zhp that's modded? lol

can't tell if that's a real question. but yeah. the zsp one is just the stock ones. there's only 4 different factory sides for the coupe: stock, mt2, m3, and that one special aero that looks like a tuner version of the mt2.
