Wow very nice. Details on the build? What's the end goal? Dedicated track car? Drag car?
Nice setup. Does the bar across the dash effect your visibility at all? I've never seen that used unless the dash has been completely removed.

End goal is to have a semi street-able car that will be competitive in local road racing, mostly scca, with the occasional trip to lime rock and a few hill climbs that are close by. As far as the cage, no visibility issues at all, takes some getting used to but it's nice have A/C, radio, Bluetooth, etc. Next step is suspension, and CT-e supercharger with supporting mods(shooting for 350whp) by end of summer. Trying to keep the exterior as stock looking as possible.

I bet some guys would like to know about the airbag issues, and do you run the Tpms sensors?

Impressive work so far. Good looking 8th coupe.
Wow, wicked first post! Welcome... can't wait to see how this develops......
Unless I'm just missing it I don't see a race harness in your car yet? Any plans there? I'm assuming with the full cage and that particular seat you can't use the factory restraints anymore?
