PHOTO UPDATE


Drove down to Socal to pick up this Varis carbon fiber hood.

Needed a new clear job badly. This was January.















Not perfect but it works for now


Dash cap install...

I think this was 2013 still...












So far, I think I liked my cloth cover better... This cap bends in the sunlight so it needs to be held down with velcro or some kind of adhesive.

I just placed it on the dash and secured it with a few pieces of velcro but its not really enough to keep it from warping.


Track day in February at Thunderhill Raceway Park.


Trackday prep....








Got there dark and early...


Spun and almost got head-on'd 5 times around a blind corner...











Figured I'd need this for the next track day since I didn't have one installed...




Also got these








Got this Ukiya86 rad cooling plate from EP Importers. 

Check out his site or hit him up on Facebook for your part needs from Japan!








Lithium battery install...












Something wrong with the rear strut bar....




Removal of panels and inspection....



HOLY HELL... last owner had this held it with self-tapping screws... -_-



Drilled larger holes and mounted proper hardware...





Swapped this out from T3.






Got these doors from member ViperVern on here. 


Really a shame he parted out his hatch.








Moved the solex locks over. 

Needed to mod the locks a bit due to the thicker FRP door skin.







They work ok with the standard door panels.





Installed old zenki lip that I've had off the car for 1year+ now...






Swapped rear seats out for a set I've had in storage for over a year...









Oil last changed 11/2013. Still really clear....







Most current pics of the car.




StraitupD's modern zenki side decals being applied.

Got a set of white and black to compliment the doors.









All the posts from today are from January to present.

Been moving things along.
