Click your heels together 3 times and say "there's no place like home..."

But do you really want to?!?

Brian, very nicely done. You have definitely gone off the deep end. Love the new wheels, not sure if those are new brakes. WOW!

What did you plug your headlight squirters with?

I keep trying, but I can't get any noise out of these!

And, no I don't.

You have no idea just how deep "the deep end" really is. I kept asking myself WWJD? (with apologies to all our Christian brethern). J never said NO to anything, except maybe that PMS tranny cooler which I have also explored. I do have a build sheet but am loath to post it 'cos it embarrasses even me.

Brakes are circa last summer. Squirter plugs are GT3Tek. Naturally, they'll be gone next winter and a more permanent solution will be in place.

WWJD?

Very nice!!

I like the side bars, looks like a nice comp between saftey and ease of getting in an out

Nice seeing more GT2's conversions around here

The last time I saw the interior of that car was as a passenger at Big Willow.
Oh my!

Thanks. That was exactly the idea, seeing as I'm a gentleman of a certain age. I've crawled in enough cars with race ready bars to know I didn't want to do that on a regular basis. As for safety, this is one of the DeMan Motorsport "Rollover Tested at VIR" built cages.

WOW. That's taking a mean looking car and making it down right nasty! As far to the "dark side" as you can go! Fantastic!
It looks far too pretty to head to the track, but that's where it wants to go.
I assume 12 inch rears with 325/18? 9 or 9.5 inch fronts - 255 or 265/18?
How much weight has come off with the transformation?
