Mike,
Are you sure current sanctioning bodies will allow you to have your cell in the passenger compartment like that , Not only are you killing your CG, but it is really not safe where it is ......

The cell is DEFINITELY not legal for racing, was just kinda placed there temporarily.

+1 on the fuel cell being mounted that high and, I'm not sure about the bars going to the back of the car, I never seen bars have a bend in them before the mounting point. I think thats a bad move.

Havent done any work on the car in months, just been busy with moving (3 times) starting new jobs, and generally changing things up.

More progress in a month or two when I finally get back to it, but here's two new pics for now.

18x12 GT2 and 18x11 996TT Twists

Mike, I didn't think you were going widebody but I could be wrong. Of course you can do other mods to allow space for these wheels too. What rubber are you intending to run?

Yep, going widebody. Planning to run 315/30R18 and 285/30R18 MPSC's. You 100% can get 305's under stock bodywork if you REALLY work at it. (See hammer/grinder/air tools and a lack of caring for paintwork). I should have a ton of new pics in a month or two. The car is 60 miles from where I live now so I dont work on it a ton (and have had other commitments). But parts are starting to arrive again and I'm getting anxious to have it done for next year already.
