    Story behind the car: I bought the car in August of 2002 with the intention of having a fun weekend car for the track. I never wanted to go to a full race setup with it, just something I could have as much fun driving to the track as on it. I have been systematically going through the car replacing the wear items, stopping short of the motor internals. The wear items that could be upgraded to ones that can handle a "track duty" level have been while keeping it still streetable.
    Spring time projects are to finish up the rear suspension bushing replacement and then figure out what I want to do for a brake upgrade. I think that should keep me busy into the next track season!

          I'd love to know how you got your mirrors so flush. Did you use the OEM rubber seal?

          Car looks great as usual!

                  Chris,
                  Your car is absolutely striking !! It's right on the edge with tasteful mods. I hope the magazines are looking at this thread - that's cover car material.
