Bad points - they rust!

I'd definitely have another one

Had 240Z fantastic car & yes they do rust.

I wanted a 240 originally but couldn't find a decent one. The 260 was something special, I really loved that car.

I've been thinking that when I eventually go home I'll get another one, or a 240, and do it up. Not original though, apparently you can fit the 1UZ-FE or 2UZ-FE engine straight in them. They are the 4.0L and 4.3L quad-cam, injected V8 with an alloy block that Toyota/Lexus use in the SC400 and the SC430.

There's a company in Aus called Sprintex that make a twin-screw supercharger that bolts straight onto the engine, and still leaves room to close the bonnet

Woohoo!
