  1. The parts are even more expensive for euros i know! beleive me i know! i'm still a bimmer guy at heart but i think there is still room for the z! So i know the prices for bimmer parts. i'm still new to zs. The thing is that i've already spent near $5000 without paint or body work so i know its a little late to be shopping around but its better lte than never. Thanks for the advice thou. I've tried a few junk yards and i've only found one z. and that was a 260. still i felt like i one the lottery. I pulled out some plasic interior parts in perfect shape (MSA had wanted $50 each) i got them for $2 each! so i think some luck helps too! Thanks anyway!
  2. So far my biggest place to get parts is Ebay. I did but some stuff from MSA thou Idk they are really expensive thou. I do have catalogs but i was wondering if you guys would have parts in pretty good shape that you were willing to let go for a good deal. I also have another question. I want to get the rubber peice that rubs on the window when your rolling it up. The one that keeps the water from going inside the door. Do the dealers still have that? That has to be new. The parts i'm looking for can be used but have to be in good shape. But there are a few i have to have brand new. Like all the weatherproofing stuff (i found some on ebay but havent got them yet), the body kit the wing (i got both brand new from MSA, AND IT COST TO MUCH THERE! :tapemouth) and the things that absolutly have to be brand new. So if anyone has anything let me know!
  3. welcome! Im trying to modernize a 240z myself (and have been hated for it, most people consider that ricer here)! Anyway we're all here because of z's. If you have any questions let me know!

  9. thanks, its gona look so good when its painted. Its at the paint shop now. Now i'm just slowly collectiing interior parts until the car comes back. Should be fun.... ANywho i'll post picks when its painted. Its gona take 4 monthes..... :eek: ........ .......... :stupid:
  10. I was talking about the blue z Aussie Zed posted in the 2nd page. That car is gourgous. That isnt factory color is it? I want to paint my car that color.
  11. I know. i'm just messin with u. :laugh: Although I doubt like a "true new z owner" i will take all of your guys advice. I would hate to learn the hard way. MaTt
  12. Well i like them both finished or not. The benz with its luxury/performace and the z for its looks (i cant say performace because i never been able to drive it yet. But we'll see).
  13. That is nice. Where can i get thous blue headlights? are they blue because of the reflection of the paint? What are thous wheels. that is a nice car.
  14. i dont know, that benz is pretty nice. There might be some tension/jealousy between the z & benz for my attention right now.
  15. I dont care how much i put into this car. If she makes me walk, shes gona see a "for sale sign" soon. It aint hard to keep these women in check. Just got to show them your not whiped!

    $300 for all the upholstary or just the seats?
  17. EScanlon pretty much sumed it up. I found out the hard way. I put $1200.00 on the consoleThe "ethereal money detector" really exists. But my dash litterally swalowed that money (brand new factory dash=$1200.00). hls30.com is true to. I was thinkin, "damn, I would be the only one with a dash that looks this good!" I fell for it! and yup, Z's are all chicks, my z is a female trick to be exact. But we still love these cars so what we do huh? :cheeky: Welcome to the z world thou! Matt
  18. i'll definattily let u know. I should really be worrieing about getting the car to run right before turboing it actually. :stupid: But the thought of turbo is still floating around in my head. i'll keep in touch.

  21. I'm sure they had more than one copy of the same car. Thats what they did in 2 fast 2 furious. Your saddened by him trading a z for a mclaren? Would you have kept the z over a mclaren? heck, i wouldnt either. We're talkin a Mclaren!!!!!
