    Rusty1 would you happen to know what something like this would cost to get done by the pros?

    I was quoted $1100aud for an electric sunroof installed on my car with no drama a little less if I supply the steel cover. It is alot for a sunroof, but you get what you pay for I guess. The only problem I see is.. how am I going to find a new roof for my z? 2 seater z's are pretty expensive... even bad condition ones, around here. If I can find a roof and someone that will weld it on properly then ill go with this option.

    Ok so my 260z has a sunroof but I really want that hardtop look and not the typical pop-up sunroof look on my car.. theres too much work involved in taking the roof skin off and putting a new one on so ive decided to install a steel sunroof system... which means that im going to have to make a large piece of metal or fibreglass and shape it to contour the roof curve, the only thing thats visible will be a thin rubber weather seal around the sunroof. The sunroof will most likely be electronic. So my question is.. what do you guys think of this idea? And has anyone done it before on a Z?

    Thanks guys. i did a search and theres plenty of stuff there to keep me busy for a while. 240ZX nice setup, any problems with the seats at all or are they much better in both look and feel than the original seats? Any pics?
  8. Ive found a few 240z models that some guy in jap put together. I think they look amazing. That red one has a custom front airdam that the guy made from putty.
  9. Rotary powered motorbikes were produced... they were the Suzuki RE-5 and Hercules W-2000. I actually just found out about them while reading through some rotary forums. Heres a website if you want some more info on them. http://www.rotaryrecycle.net/main.asp?pg=intro.asp

    Here is a little thing that I put together just to see how the car with the colour "Bloodorange" looks in different angles, I tried to match the colours as best I could but its almost impossible. Hopefully the owner of this car doesn't mind me using he's car as an example. If you guys want to see the fullsize image (which I recommend) I'll post them here, they are extremely good quality and look much better then these resized versions.

    Thats a great idea can't wait to see it finished. I couldn't help myself I just had to edit something on the Z you just posted... I think I darkened the colour a bit too much though, also when I recently went to rare-spares to get myself new rubbers and a set of new door skins I saw some old skool eye-lids so I tried doing that to this pic, they look pretty mean.
