The reason I ask is because Nikon FM wants to run a 5-point on the track which is not smart unless you have a roll bar.

Yeah there will ultimately be a rollbar installed at the same time as the seats/harness. Running stock seats until I make that move.

What a great looking turbo, with Ed's direction he'll set you up with a decent indy shop and help you spend lots of $ with items you can't live without. Nice Porsche.

Cats are dead,
Gage cluster is a replacement not the original and when installed were not synced to the car…
vacuum leak…fixed
leaking front diff
gas tank vent not working right…sprays gas when getting filled

Between the dealership the car was bought from and the extended warranty these items will be addressed…….stay tuned

+1, what Dennis said. And the wheels definitely compliment the car, I guess thats the first time I've seen those.
