Yorgee Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I bought this car in june and have been working on it with my dad. We put some seats in, 5 speed tranny, pretty much done with all the electrical and interrior work. We just have to get the dash cover. We are just now putting on some different doors. * new pics * Been working on my car and installed some new retractable seat belts, steering wheel, and I got a new exhaust put in for 100 bucks. check it out. http://www.geocities.com/yorgola555/240zproject.html And I've been shopping around for tires and would like to know of the best size to fit 15 x 8's and to also have that nice stretch look. I was going to go with 225/50/15's but not a lot of places carry that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Why didn't you use the Miata seats? They are very close in size and shape to the originals, and fairly supportive for sporty driving. Nice blue BTW. Looks like its coming together nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice blue BTW. Looks like its coming together nicely. I thought about using the miata speed seats but my dad said they were to hard to come buy at his work. He just found these seats layin around in the warehouse and I thought they looked pretty good. But ya, my first thought was to get some miata ones. Then the blue paints got to go. If your standing infront of the car, it's like they sprayed a pitty coat on it cuz the paint before looked so bad or something. Just so they could sell the car.(which I'm kind of glad they did) But I was thinking about paiting it white since the doors, hood, and whipper cover are going to white. I'll have to see.

Careless Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 nice! good work man =) i love z's that are being ressurected. makes me feel special =) so where'd u get those seatbelts from!? are they part of another car or something? perhaps a nice plastic cover out of fibreglass should be in your future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorgee Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 oh I know...definitily would look a lot cleaner with some kinda cover but I mean, it looks alright so I was just thinking if I ever came across something to cover it with I would. But ya, they are just something else my dad took out of another mazda car they were gonna crush at his work. I just bolted it right where the old ones went and they came out pretty cool. thnx for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorgee Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Careless, they are zero offset. When I mounted the rim it seemed pretty flush with body so I'm not sure if I will need flares. But I was thinking about getting some wheel spacers to push the rim out some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
