One thing to take into account that I learnt this weekend is that the floor gets insanely hot towards the end of a run session, I actually melted a passenger shoe! The driver's side gets hot as well but you don't notice it quite as much. Some kind of heat shield/spacer is a good idea.

^ I have an alum plate running across where my heels go - it sits about 3/4" off the OE floor and is about 14" x 8" x 3/4"... makes it easier to work the pedals and controls heat

thanks guys! I thought about leaving the carpet right across the bottom from where the pedal is. Maybe I should cut it and put it back in?

Travis,
When I consult with Sharif, I will mention the cross members. I have no clue what class I would be in, but I definitely want to do some competition.

Phunk's fuel system fix came in today. Hopefully I will install it on saturday.

Also, I ordered Sparco EVO2 seats, harnesses and steering wheel from Forged today, gonna install the pass. seat and steering wheel myself, then drop the car off to get the drivers seat installed in a fixed solid position and have the rear cage made (Spohn style). Then I will decide on full cage over the winter.

Talk about getting it done.

awesome to see another car going full track setup!

CJM Fuel starvation solution installed. Drove a 290 degree cloverleaf at greater than 5000 rpm in third gear and accelerated down the straight, with only 1/4 tank, and the car didn't stumble at all!

Track testing to come at the end of the month.

car going to Forged by the end of the week for the cage

SPOHN 09-02-2012 09:45 AM

Nice seat

Mike 09-14-2012 04:55 PM

I should have taken a picture, but I picked up the welded cage assembly and brought it to the bodyshop for paint today. Hopefully I will get it back to Forged by midweek and have the car back by the weekend.

Seats probably won't get installed until after Znats, the base mounts are on backorder and custom fabrication is too pricey for me.
