My X is a daily driver but I'm willing to sacrifice most creature comforts for the weekend track events. How far did you go when yours was still a dd?

Well anything I've done further than this kinda made it hard to live with as a DD. What's posted is a very good point between DD and Track car.

Good info, thanks.
I just started my transformation to TA street class prep.

Probably have 40 hours of work- bolt ons etc and maintenance.
My Evo X is daily driven and I want it to stay that way and I need to reverse everything- almost - for winter driving.

The car debuts May29th at our local TA series, looking to chop 1.5 seconds off last years track record.
I guess seats will come out to make the maximum impact.
