As for the S, I've gutted everything behind the dash, removed all sound deadening, test fitted my Hard Dog. Removed the EVAP system, removed all SRS components and removed the OEM alarm. Going to POR-15 the entire floor pan and trunk before I install halo seats and harnesses.
Woah. That's pretty cool. I'm going to make my Pole Positions into office chairs. My OEM CR seats are currently sitting in a box packaged till, well, till who knows.

Are you tracking it exclusively now? I remember seeing that you were making magnet numbers a while back. They looked really nice.

The car never saw much street use anyway. Wife and I bought a custom 22' enclosed trailer, bed, fridge, cabinets, escape door. If you look at the photo below, there is also a bed that lowers from the ceiling. Iwas fine with an open aluminum trailer until I took the wife along shopping. This is what we ended up with.

I run with NASA NE mostly, wife helps with registration and such.

You should stop over..........

I haven't made the magnets in awhile. It was a lot of work and I wasn't doing it for the $$.

As far as the seats go, I had a seat pan made to go between the seats and the "donated" office chair base. Both of my seats could be bottom mounted and made things much easier.

Wow. Looks like Rick has some competition in the trailer department at Pitt Race.

I just got the race car running again. New header and single exhaust in. HVAC removed. Instrument panel removed. Now to tear it back apart and start slimming the interior harness of all the unneeded circuits.

Still need to buy the brake rotors, ECU and figure out some dyno time in Michigan.

Wow.. that's a pretty nice setup. PittRace isn't too far away from (1.5 hours) so I might be able to make a stop. Just realized that PittRace is closer than Mid Ohio for me now.

Someone else posted in the tire forums that there are some new tires coming out this spring. Instead of pulling the trigger on summer replacement tires for whatever wheels I end up with, maybe I'll wait and see what comes out.

Very nice trailer. I may or may not make the whole weekend at Pitt. Have to retrieve Allie from DC right about then.

Send Motoo over to pickup Allie. As slow as he drives she would be safe!

I think I may need to try to get to Pitt, it looks pretty sweet since they lengthened it and I can't imagine it is all that far!

This is true Also, I haven't pushed the car in 2 years so who knows what I'd be doing out there. Probably just doing out laps over and over and pointing people by as I'm driving in 2nd gear


I wonder if I should start the car up this week. It's in the 50s. I realized I can't back the car out of the garage though The car on donuts can't clear the lip of the garage. lol.
