He has the coolest freakin interior. I'm redoing mine just like his except I'm gonna have the speaker panel from zcarparts in the very back and I'm going to make some custom panels to go next to that rearpanel on each side of it to put in some 10" subs. His seats are pretty badass too.

Just careful that it doesn't interfere with the hood opening That's a sound you just don't want to hear. Don't ask me how I know

yeah i had the same problem. you've got to cut quite a chunk off the bumper for it not to hit when you open the hood, or you could just leave the hood closed all the time and work on it from under the car from now on


is your car lowered at all? looks a bit lower than mine

The styling of the E type Jag was a significant contributor to the styling of the Z cars.

How's that for bringing it back on track?!

2 points for our fearless leader (I know someones going to point that quote out)

Yup, and funny how the front looks almost like an MG isnt it? Of course I've always thought the 240Z had more of a European look to it then a Japanese look. Based on the cars of the day anyways.

The original Z car was designed by some of the same people who desinged the original Porsche 911. So when people say "Kinda looks like a porch"... That's why. I do agree that the styling is far more European than Japanese... Which is a really, really good thing.
