Coming along great man. What's your plan for the top? I don't see a roof switch on the console.

How hard was removing the seats and carpet? Are they held down by those black plastic clips? I'm thinking about doing it over the winter so I can add some sound deadening. These squeaks are annoying me to death.

Seats are 10mins a piece, probably have the carpet out on each side in 15mins more. They are held in by those stupid plastic clips though. The driver's side requires you to pull the pedal block on the floor for the gas pedal to get out. You will have to pull the footwell trim panel and the sill panels also.

Spent a bit of time the last few weeks off in on in the garage...

Decided that I wasn't crazy about the silver flake on the back of the Bride seats with a stripped interior... Got these hand carried back from Japan after all the trouble I went through to get them... Look pretty good


Pulled out the Secondary Air Pump and installed an Izze-Engineering Simulator... Works a treat

Started piecing together a brake ducting also... I should be starting in on it the start of next month...
2-1/2 ducting...


Then a couple of flanges to match...

I hope the Dragon will be as much fun as last for sure!

On track for my 30lb weight reduction too ... All boils down to how heavy the Harddog is... which I am guessing will be under 50lbs...

Spent about 6.5hrs in the garage today. It was nice to be out there!

Big pile of parts to put in... (good camera was with the wifey )
Innovative Motor and Tranny Mount - 85A
DEI Titanium Exhaust wrap
2" Silicone Ducting
2" Flanges
AP1 Black radio door
Fire Extinguisher
Rad Stays (free with the mounts


Started with the exhaust... After a long debate I decided to change back to my Invidia... The Megan Drift hits everywhere! But before I did I wanted to wrap it to cut down some heat in the car with no interior and it does tend to hit the rear subframe under hard hard cornering... Came out pretty good!

Installed the Innovative mounts (no pics)... took a few hours not hard by any means other then the car could be about a 5" higher then I had it. Car does vibrate more but hard to tell how much with it up on stands.

ALMOST finished the brake ducting... I need one more band clamp for the front end... Ended up going with a 2" duct, there really isn't enough room for anything bigger when running 255s up front. Slightest hint of touching the duct when at full lock. I am going to racer tape the sway bar attachment point to give a bit more protection... Didn't get a chance to do that today.
