I wonder how well it would work if you are still running the center console. It seems pretty big, but I am sure it would still fit. I am going to rip out the center console of my 06 and put that in to see if it works with a center console.

More pics will be coming as the car gets put together I promise they will come! They may not come all that fast because the shop that is putting the car together for me is 5 hours away, so I have to wait to get pictures from them. They are good at getting me pictures though!

Teaser pics of the brakes and suspension getting put on. I had a the tech snap a picture of them today as he was installing them. Will get some good pictures of the arms, coilovers, and brakes later on.

Haven't read every page. I see track car this, track car that. What kind of track will this car be built for?

Drag, Road Racing, Drift? I assume Road Racing (autojacks)..don't really need em for drag.

I love how you're doing everything all at once...that's the only way my butt dyno can tell the difference. Of course my wallet feels it more. Nothing like having one invoice for $32k to dwarf all the other invoices. lol

It will be doing mainly drifting. I put the jacks on there just to have em. Something a little different that not a lot of cars in the drift area have. Also it will see some road racing as well much not much.

Yeah when you do it all at once I think it is much better that way. I wish I only had a 32k invoice! I started this as a small project, but ended up way more than that and way more than I budgeted for, but isnt that what always happens when it comes to our toys?
