First in line!

Sounds like a good build, and looks like you're starting with a clean car!

Just picked up the Joe Toth splitter from Mantis this afternoon... while I was there I decided to go with his SSK. Its actually a really nice piece, very well machined and put together. Also a great price at $165.

Had a shot at making my own RS style interior, doors came out pretty good.
Going to do center console and dash next, will post pics once done.

Suede + pull cord only cost me $52 from Fabricland.

The hardest thing with the glue is not getting it on you... I used low strength all purpose glue in a spray can. Its tacky enough to stick firm but it allows movement and play which helps getting the suede in place.

I am thinking of stripping rear seats back to bare metal as I will be putting in a triangulated roll bar.

I just finished the center console (now this ones a toughy) but with a little effort it came out great.

See console and armrest.

The seat bottoms weigh nothing and will not get in the way of any well designed roll bar, so it's not really worth pulling them out.

yeh power sports seats... I am really torn as they are nice original seats but as I will be doing some autoX and track days I am probably going to get a set of aftermarket seats. I like the looks of the Corbeau A4 seats as they seem comfortable and street friendly but have harness guides and high side bolsters for the track. Plus they weigh less than the factory electric seats.

Im lurking over the Sparco Chrono, confortable but they run $500 each, factory seats are nice but weight 70lb each. What your suspension set up?
