Engine dummy fitted: Not much clearance: Should be ready to go back to JPC middle to late next week. Interior is being put back in slowly and electrics will be getting completed soon hopefully. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Because you only need a half cage to run 10's without getting kicked out. If you dip into the 9's then it's a full cage. I'd rather not go as far as a full cage purely for when it's driven on the street, really don't want more attention than I already have. Here's a pic of how thick the new Intercooler is: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Would have to be one of the sexiest 'aftermarket' clusters I have seen thus far. Most look tacky and out of place but this looks great.

Yeah it got dropped, no issue though have another on the way. Check this out: New carpet, modified to suit cage: Obviously not complete. Still have to get the door pods done, dash finished, headlining and boot trimmed. Off to JPC on Friday for Vi-Pec and tune! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Dash looks awesome, absolutely perfect! Interior is great but those pictures seriously don't even come close to doing it justice.

It all needs a good clean 2. The trims has been done since before Easter and in storage lol. Its kind of weird sitting in a full leather trim car and looking up and having no roof lining though but ahh well............ Its flash for a race car lol
