I don't think i will make it either. Still need tires and an alignment and have busy work week ahead.

However, I most likely WILL be headed to VIR. I'm suffering withdrawal.

Does leaving the air pump in not allow for a 2.5" duct?

Rob and whoever else. The SCCA is having a PDX this coming weekend. I will probably be doing sunday only since its cheap only $150. Figured I would knock some rust off before the competition school.

That's too bad George, I really miss you.

Matt, the roll bar looks good but get used to the noise, it will only get louder as continue to strip out the interior.

There isnt much left. Just the door panels, trans tunnel padding stuff, and dash. Carpet and everything aft of seats is gone.

Rob, if I can tolerate driving this thing to VIR, so can you. I have a silencer in my 70MM exhaust though

The car is a lot stiffer now, and louder as I removed almost all the sound deadening.

Looks nice! Pretty much like mine except my harness bar is inline with the main hoop (cause I am short). Did he make the bar as tight as mine?

Matt, borrow a Bose QC2 noise cancelling headset for the drive and hook it up to an mp3 player and you'll be set. I also put in an extra seat bottom cushion for the drive to VIR. The biggest pain was foot cramp. The cruise control wasn't working at the time and it made the drive really suck. I'm focusing on getting the comp license right now but I may make the run to VIR later in the year.
