Inspired by IMSA cars of yesteryear and powered by a 3.1L stroked L-series, this '72 240Z is done Riko's Way.
, and, like this 240Z, each is based around a stripped down, driver-centric cabin surrounded by intricate fabrication and detail work, and all three are fully capable track cars built to show winning standards. That, in a nutshell, is"Riko's Way."
The bolt on flares and fender mirrors that many restomod S30s get is certified classic, but Riko wanted to lean on his personal recipe that includes a healthy serving of race car touches. In an interesting twist, instead of reaching out to Japanese tuning shops, he looked toward Arizona in search of late '70s IMSA inspiration through Z-car body panel specialist Z Trix, and a complete kit was ordered.
Along with the fenders and doors, the hood and hatch are also lightweight fiberglass replacements, and the remaining three windows were replaced with custom cut lexan courtesy of Marcus Fry Racing. The finished exterior is not what you'd expect to find and that's exactly what he was after. Even the badging is one-off, produced by Hanson Linek, at Riko's discretion.Like his 911 and Corolla, Riko's 240Z cabin is all business.
