I have been working on something a bit different. Instead of adding to the car...I have been taking away from it. For two years I have held on tight to the interior of the car and have even been joked a few times for having a stereo in the car. After a self induced rally of fellow drivers to just do it...It became time. Time to let go of the street car and finally make the crossover in the mind set of full time track car. Though with each toss of a part to the pile of stuff that came out the car you could see a grin on my face as well as the pains of letting it go.

To this



I have nearly completed the removal of the interior. All that is left is the clean up of the passenger door and the evil black goo removal. Probably one of the best upgrades on the interior is doing away with the stereo and installing the blank plate to mount switches to. In all the odd gears..each switch is just a finger flick away. Plenty of room to add fan switches or the like in the future. The other notable change has been the change in the actual seat mounting. Now instead of steel plates being used to mount the seat, its bolted directly through the floor. Probably a lot of over kill on the safety side of this...but I don't think so. 1/2 threaded rod, hardened washers, stainless nuts and 2 inch washers on the exterior and lots of lock tight. Eventually the passenger seat will get this upgrade as well to allow for a 5 minute in and out when needed for students. But for now...the passenger seat stays in the car as is.
