I bet he'll be back meaner than ever!

After reading this thread so many months ago, I think I've finally found my dream Z too.

A blue 1971 240Z that needs some patchingup, also found a good RB13 rotary engine to put in.

 

I can't wait

240hoke's got good taste.

Paint it dark blue, tune the engine, bore & stroke it to 2.8l, slap on a twin turbo, get it over 600hp and call it Devil Z.

Important question: in what colour are you going to paint your car?

[1971 Datsun 240z resto.project [vids/pics]]

I said they'd be great if you were stinking rich.

No wonder Recaro alcantara covered bucket seats are used for the new 911 Turbo sport pack.

I like Sparco as well. These seats are very similar to Sparco's Pro2000

and I fit like a glove in them. They're a bit on the heavy side' date=' but they

get the job done. Didn't want to lighten my wallet with the $3500 that

a couple of carbon Pro2000 would've cost me - not yet anyway : )[/quote']

 

If you've got way to much money to spend, Recaro alcantara covered bucket seats are the way to go.

They look very nice and comfy.

Never heard of the brand though.

 

I personally like Rage, Bride & Sparco.

It makes me feel nostalgic when I look at those pics.

Reminds me when I bought my current car (BMW M3) at the junkyard and completely rebuilt it.

It feels so strange without all the rust and holes in it.

Coming along nicely.
