The track blaster is finally complete: Photos
Greetings All...
Finally.
Complete. 
After almost 1 year (to the day), the RS3 is complete. I have been working on the last bits of cleaning up, painting, installing parts, etc. Finally the car is ready to go. Only one last thing to install - the fire extinguisher. But that can wait until I find a good spot.
The goal for this car has been simple - Create a fast, safe, and reliable toy for weekend track blasting. The result is what I show you now. A HUGE THANKS TO TODD KETCHUM AND J3 MOTORSPORTS. I appreciate their patience and Todd's hard work putting this motor in. It is truly fantastic.
Here are the photos along with detail shots from this morning:

VERY nicely done! Dig the assymetric stripe, fender badges and splitter.
Suggestions; get the steering wheel closer to you, consider an adjustable rear sway bar, and get the rear view mirror back!
Best of luck with it!

No door bars??? But for a dedicated DE car you don't need them either...
Very nice.....one of these days when I have these:
A shop
Spare time
Extra $$$
I will have my track car repainted inside and out.....plus its a good excuse to find things to remove to save weight!

Maybe I'm not getting it, but the way that most 6 point harnesses get routed, the added "comfort" is dubious. It really comes down to how the sub belts are joined to the buckle. I have a G-Force 6 point and the sub belts are both attached to a catch that does not really spread the belts apart. So you have two belts running almost side-by-side up to the buckle, versus one strap on a 5 point. I just don't see it being better for the boys. I just have to hope that I never need to test it!
