For whenever the video gets posted here I appreciated that the hassling you had an impact. Also, for full weight reduction all rust will need to go since it's technically heavier in that state, at least until it falls off.

As the seat manufacturer intended. The Latch belt is attached to the factory 911 seat belt bolts and there is a tether at the front of the seat.

I don’t mess around with car seat attachment, I would bet money that my seats are attached better than at least 90% of the car seats on the road.

Ah, the front attachment had me wondering.

How in the world is that rear facing seat actually secure?

3baby seats in the 911!?!?... I need to see this

Sorry for the wait. My oldest son is just getting into a booster seat so that makes it a little easier.

I go away for a week and so much changes. Goodbye little Mr2, sad we never got to see fangs on the front bumper/grille.

Maybe someone will finally take some good pics of it

Speaking of pictures, that sig needs some updating.

I'm only an hour from Summit Point. Maybe I'll see this car in person sometime this summer!

I hope he sends me more pics when he gets it home and takes it to Summit Point.

man RIP. what a bummer, i just figured that someone had already documented a 2zz swap in those by now and that's the program you were on. definitely, looked like a great drivers car by the time you got it to be what you wanted. but the more projects the merrier. variety is the something of something and what not. in other news...i think i saw your old weird blue e30 might be on cl for 9k right now? maybe its someone else's but the color felt right.

The details were missing on the BAR status, I also discovered a few things after Id spent the money and wasnt comfortable returning $1000+ worth of brand new parts and only get ~$750 back because of restocking fees. Even after that there were other things that made it a hurdle.

Hindsight. What would I do different if I was to do it again?

-2000 or 2001 model versus my 2002 model.
-Would've made sure the 2ZZ was a pre03 motor versus the post03 so I wouldnt have those Air Injection ports on the exhaust.
-Rather than buying the MonkeyWrench Racing Header and 1ZZ Magnaflow cat, I wouldve bought a Celica manifold and the midship garage "bar-legal" midpipe.

With all that said, it still wouldnt have guaranteed anything but it puts in a MUCH better position than I was. Ironically... how insane am I?
