Looks nice but it's kind of a tease without any power to back it up!! Still, verry nice looking car man.

Sorry I was too busy looking at the eye-candy Seen a lot of wrecks, so I take safety seriously. I'm really happy with my Profi IIs if you haven't picked belts yet.

Do you ever run NorCal Nasa? I'd like to see it in action but I don't make it down south often.

If all I cared about was power, I could build an evo with the money I put into this one that would make well over 1000hp. But power isn't everything to me. A well properly balanced car is. Also I am currently getting comfy with this power level and before I move up in power I am concentrating on safety first.

A lot of people go for power first, then everything else. IMHO this is a mistake most people make.

No worries it happens. And I take safety seriously too which is why I explained to the other poster about why it doesn't come with a gazillion hp. I honestly like my takatas, and JGTC used takatas as well but they would use the 5pts. So I personally think they are good quality harnesses. But I am still unsure which ones I will buy next.

I do not run up in norcal currently. I would like too eventually as I have been to Sears Point and Thill. I went to Seca but got kicked off for noise abatement. This was all yrs ago though.

Since your ex-military, I have to give you even more props. Worked hard and got yourself in position to enjoy life. What's wrong with that?

Nice car!!

No disrespect, to each his own. I think I need to concentrate on safety next but I can't see putting a cage/harnesses into a street car. I would do it if I didn't need to convince my gf to put her full face on every time we go to the grocery store . I really wish there was some compromise here.

If you noticed the post they are tucked. And thank you for the kind words.

Lol, the compromise of gf and cars locked in a never ending battle of what do we spend our money on. And a full cage in a street car may not be such a good idea cause unless you are wearing at least a helmet if you get into an accident the cage could kill you.

Wow man props on such a beautiful and well balanced built car. I noticed you said 4 months until you get your new seats. Are you planing to sell the SE seats? Would be perfect timing as I get back from my deployment in May and visiting my parents in Modesto haha. I would buy those in a heartbeat lol

I was going to mention this as well. Genuine Takata belts (not the knock-offs obviously) are some of the best in the business. Takata is also the supplier for several OEMs for the seatbelts in their street cars, so they definitely know what they are doing. I think people probably just have a bad attitude about them since you see them in a lot of show cars (and a lot of times those are fake ones.)

Nice car, I give you credit for actually enjoying it on the track. I've never seen the Voltex Cyber Street lip painted body color like that before.
