        Wow, some SUPER nice builds going on! Thanks for sharing. Super inspiring.

        In the meantime, i just found out the exhaust hub on my car is missing a tab . Sad days, but that was the last item to be addressed in the car, at least.

        Can't wait to get back on track!

          I know the car is a bit dirty but its been in the garage all winter. This winter saw rod bearings (124K on the originals), Moton 2WR installed and front splitter/brake cooling. For the splitter I used Build journal mounts and quick disconnect bumper setup. Car is going in for corner balance and final alignment in the coming weeks.

            What material did you use to close up the gaps on the brake duct? Looks good.

              Got my sunroof delete panel painted and installed. Fairly happy with how it came out. Not Full on track car but still track related.

                I deleted the LCM and all of the wiring. Then realized it kinda needs it so it’s back in. Luckily I only needed to put 6 wires back in for the brake lights. Replaced the brake booster and master cylinder, a $100 check valve fell apart so I’m about $1000 into replacing the OE brake system.

                Oh, I painted my wheels techno violet. Also re-did the front aero - Added a front air dam and extended the splitter 2”. Hopefully, just needs a weekend to test and practice not f’ing it up and then try and make a carbon splitter.

                    its just some .063" aluminum that I cut and painted. Then riveted to the duct inlet.simple and effective.

                            Are you referring to the cage attachment points to the chassis/floor or to the seat belt "anchor points"?
