My 240Z upgrades....

FricFrac · 01-29-2010, 02:44 AM

While the 370Z is getting way more road time than I thought she would this winter my 240Z is nestled snuggly in the garage. I've managed to do a few little tweeks although the 280ZX has been getting most of the attention.

Added my headlight covers. Was waiting to get the hardware painted the same colour as the car but I got an airbrush to do the leather seats on the 280ZX and decided to try painting the hardware for mounting the headlights myself. Turned out pretty good and its pretty stealthy now - even matched the screw heads.

I made mounting plates for the fuse panel and MSD system I added so I could go back to stock without having added mounting holes anywhere. Painted those to match the car rather than bare bead blasted aluminum.

...and last but not least (well for now....) mounted the velocity stack I had polished - also polished the Cusco strut bar... now the intake runners and carbs need some love....

Have you even touched yours in the past year?

Fric, car looks fantastic, and I hate you.

You needed some motivation on the 669Z (is that what you're calling the 240Z with the monster 408ci?). How is that project coming along? You going to Canby this year?

Looking good!

BTW if you need any small batch powdercoating done on the cheap, email me!

Very nice. Looks like the head light covers turned out great.

We now have the car broken in, and I love it. Not much traction with the narrow winter tires though.
