Thats my car!!!!!!

 

Yes, it's a LWB and the cage cost around £700.

 

Quality job - well worth it.

 

was that fitted?

Yes, had the seat mounts fitted too. They are a bit high so my helmet hits the glass too!

Yes indeed. I am familiar with their full house Safari spec cages in 240Zs.

 

Just looking at the weight figure in your Title. Thats very respectable for the family version.:thumbup1:

Here is a quick pic of my minimalist interior. As you can see its a work in progress:blink:

lol!! yea iv noticed the passenger seat is lower than the driver seat and i fit in with that seat in the drivers seat position + helmet, although i should really buy a bucket!

 

need to replace the roof glass with plexi glass somehow!!! lol!!

Nothing at all under the dash where the glove box was.The little all in one heater blower is centrally mounted with two tubes to the screen and two little vents for air in to the cabin. I will be fitting the Emerald ECU up there out of harms way. I left the plastic g lever surround cos it weighs very little and it helps support the dash. I also left the centre consol behind the handbrake so I would have a storage area for phone. wallet etc

:thumbup:We shold all meet up to see who has the lowest spec z! LOL!!!

so how did you increase the lock?

ill take a pic of my (lack) of interior, much weight in the door cards?

i stuck 3 of these

on each end of the steering rack between the (rod and the rack inside the rubber boot)

 

you can either buy them for that ridiculous price or spend 40p on 12 from B&Q or likewise

Problem is, if you start taking all that off, what do you grab to close the door! shame you can't get winders for the windows!

plexi sliders look so kool tho!!! need plexi glass!!!!!!

christ thats simple eh. zeds are a bitch to park!

 

rreeeeeeaaaaallly easy with these fitted, have you seen the pic? massive difference in drifting and parking!! and my car is hella low!, were going further with the spacers i recon i can get 4 either end, i ground off the lock stops on the hubs (or i coulda just hit them) AND there's an internal lock stop inside the rack, reckon we could get another 20's out of it in total, might need to start tubbing the inner arches out

Problem is, if you start taking all that off, what do you grab to close the door! shame you can't get winders for the windows!

 

a simple loop of webbing with a clasp bolted through the door structure. im sure with some neet work you could produce a very very very light skin for the inside to tidy it up aswel.

Or I could cover the door with a thin sheet of carbon fibre and have a wire to pull to open the door like an F40.

 

Me thinks a spring project is born.........

Funny but also kind of interesting. I have only just re started on my project so its not yet complete.

Even a virtual meet/spec sheet would be good.
