Same here, hoping it might be able to be finished by the end of the month but we will see on how getting things from Japan goes and such.
I think the idea we are hoping for is to use some of the stock mounting points and then add more to make it stronger. I am not 100% on roll cages & harness bars, but I hope to be able to pick the brains of the guys who do.

Also installed a B&M short shifter.

Was that your car parked along Cleo Springs Dr behind Ranch 99 in North SJ several weeks ago? It was PG with smoked headlights like yours.

Great shots, you have some cars that are truly drool worthy! Which one is your favorite?

I like all of them...but the Z (being my personal car and daily driver) is probably my favorite, with the IS-F coming in close second.

Put in a pair of red Recaro's this week. At first I wasn't sure if they would fit on the sidemounts I bought, but they definitely turned out great.

I'm not sure if anyone has done this before, but I used Bride FO-type rails without the Bride side mounts and used the branded Recaro side mounts instead. Seating position is about 2 inches higher than the stock seat, with the capacity to go even lower.

That is really cool the Z is your personal ride, love the seats too. I would just sit and drool if I had access to all those cars!

Hey did you mean 2 inches lower with the capacity to go lower?

^^ No I actually meant exactly that. The new seating position with the Recaro seats/Recaro Sidemounts/Bride Rails puts me about 2 inches higher than stock. If you look at the stock seats, the seats themselves are literally on the floorboard. I can still go down a little lower as the sidemounts have provisions for lower positioning.

I actually like this seating position better because it allows me to see over the hood of the car.

those seats are nice, and if you ever decide to sell your wheels, ill buy em!

You guys carry this in house? I've always wanted one from my 350 days.

How do you like the Recaro's? I know they are great for the track, but are they as comfortable if not more comfortable than the stockers?
