Id like the idea of drifting the z but for the money youll invest you could afford a junker 240 and only drift the z when you feel theres no way to hold back. The cost to repair one Z to wall collision you could afford the 240.

Before I clicked the link I was like: "Oh okay, lets see these look like" Then I see the first pic and I was like

Holy **** your car is beautiful. Only other thing I would do is paint the roof black and door handles black.

But in the long run I plan on making it a track only car. But that wont be for a while which is why I'm moving towards the 4-point.

Thanks again for all the kind words
Car looks great...hope to see you out at Mineral Wells the next time i get to make it....ive been too tied up lately and haven't been able to get out there...

As for the roll cage I would call off road shops and buggy shops and see if any of them have experience installing roll cages, most do, or know who or where to get one done....machine shop owners, welding shops that done them before, etc.............

The best cage would be a custom one installed and made to your liking so it doesn't get in the way for daily but is welded in and made secure to be safe....
