^Thanks.

I am really excited to get the interior done. I should probably do kill switches, fire suppression, ignition button etc while its torn down. I might.

^It may be a while, but either and LS1 or an SR20 built to about 300 to the wheel. I really don't want more than 3-350 max.

Wow, nice work! Pretty cool build for sure. My brother actually used to have an 05 Cooper S with a ton of JCW parts on it and Alta exhaust. It was a fun little car!

Excited to see progress on this thing!

Thanks. I like the paint more and more whenever I see it. Now if someone could get forza to put the kouki s14 in the game too. I have a hard time making the paint color on that game though.

I think that last bike is a triumph, though it very well could be an indian. I know he has made some really intense/ high dollar bikes. He is in magazines and stuff.

Tally Racked up? is that total $ spent so far or what? sorry Im not good with new words

Great thread. Subscribed. Looks like I have to do a build thread for my car when it goes down in December to become a straight track car. Good luck and definitely keep us posted.

^Thanks to all.

I will be working on it a bit tonight. Have a bad set of Extended studs that need replaced. Not sure if it was the spacer or the hub that caused the issue, but it is not good.

Also I am hoping to start sanding down the floor to prep it for some paint.

After that I want to starting going through the wire harnesses and cutting out the unimportant ones.

Spent the better part of Saturday smoothing out the interior with a wire brush. There are a few more spots I would like to get to still, but so far so good.

Also something else showed up to increase progress:

^I am probably not running windows. The track I drive at does not allow windows up while on track so they aren't much more than dead weight regardless. I may make some clip in lexan windows to use when in the paddock/ pits though. Or Maybe just continue renting a garage at the track. Not sure?

I personally owned a Works Bell short hub and Rapfix II quick release, and I'm happy with the quality. So much so that I bought another set for my next ride.

I'd take a look at the Works Bell Rapfix GTC for your setup...

I was looking at those but I know a few people that havehad them and told me the NRG hubs are just as reliable for less, so I ordered one yesterday actually.

If I hate it I will just sell it and go with the WB though. I was kind of in a rush to get something before we get going on the cage/ measuring it all out.

Awesome build, man.

May I offer a bit of advice? I had a car with a gutted interior, and I painted it black. Everytim eI drove it on a hot day, I was sweating like a hooker on cowboy payday. I resprayed it to a sort of off-white/grey color, and did the floor on the drivers side in black (so my dirty feet weren't quite as apparent) and it improved things considerably heat-wise. And seeing as hot you live in Utah, where it's hot 80% of the time....

Just my two cents. Otherwise, awesome build. I'll def have to follow this thread and see how it goes! Good luck!

Agreed. I am thinking por15 white inside. That or a black floor with orange cage, but I am leaning towards all white.
