I've got one I'm building, but it's... "unconventional" and I'm not sure how well recieved It would be here.

Show pictures, mine has a few unconventionial things too but you really gotta look close to see them. I'll post more pics when the bumpers are on but you should post pics of yours.

Ok,I'll post some Sunday after the holiday when I get back to the shop. You guys have to be promise to be nice though It looks like you mount the hard top the same way I do and it almost looks like you have the driver side seat mount removed. Do you also use the GT Racing top?

BTW, is that a red Mazda FD I see in the background?

Yep, drivers seat mount is removed, floor reinforced and new seat mounts fabricated. I didn't like the GT top, I thought it was a little too flimsy so I found another and went with it, I have since found another one which is just as nice with less cost. And yes, although not mine that is a Mazda FD in the background.

Basically 180rwhp, 2650lbs with driver, Bilstein Pss9's with stiffer springs, sway bars, full saftey equipment, Toyo R888 tires in 225/255 on stock wheels. May the best driver and car set-up win!

The class is recognized nationally in NASA, PCA, and POC organizations.



Here is my car I just got together. My shop will be building more of these to play with. Let me know if anyone is interested.






you can check the rule set here.

Very nice ! I like it !
I've considered doing a big Turbo Boxster but not for a track car and seeing the air jacks I am guessing yours will be seeing the track more than once in awhile.

Very nice build, please keep sharing pictures and your progress.
