lol, meat 
Well that's awesome, I just hope they update their rules then. Nothing like prepping a car to a set of rules and then finding out they are different.
I'm REALLY hoping I can make the ECSO, should be fun, and it's my "hometown" track where I grew up. Hope to meat you there, don't think we've met in OH.
Btw, I just saw the seat brackets you had made. Holy hell they are nice looking, probably the best I've ever seen.

guys i am sorry. i been busy, lazy, and slacking. i really didn't think anyone was watching this and i been keeping everything on my FB page. but here is an update and it is a big one.
i will start with the carbon roof. i did this project my self and this is no easy task. but it came out 100% perfect. there is not much to explain other then looking at the pics.
removing the front and rear glass
removing the head liner and sun roof
masking off the car
starting to remove spot welds
roof removed
its not often you get to take selfies while standing in the back seat HAHA.
smoothing the section the roof will be glued/riveted too.
test fitting the roof and aligning it to were it needs to be
i used stainless rivets and panel bond. the roof is now glued on and the glass is re installed i will do my best to get outside pics of it as these cell pics indoors do not show how awesome this came out.
i got a NON rear wiper glass as well. i also re wrapped the rear deck lid and the new non sunroof headliner in black suede.
i just need to re install the dome lights.
next up is my custom made electric water pump setup. i wanted something lighter then stock and totally hidden. i feel this came out amazing. a lot of work went into this. this is not easy. some body work needed to be done, modding the rad, modding the cam side engine bracket, modded the pump, ETC.
frontline fab block off plate
i modified the pump so it is more compact. instead of using a 3/4 to 12AN fitting and then a 12AN fitting on that i needed to gain more room for how i was running the pump. so i did a little machine work and got 12AN weld on fittings welded right to the pump.
here it is installed
i also was able to eliminate the lower rad hose from going over the trans. its all hidden now.
hoses ran along the frame rail
here is what was deleted.
next up is the accumulator. a lot of people seem to be running these with a QM clutch and claiming better streetable use/driving. so i decided to try it but built mine differently. i made my own line's and modified the accumulator.
lastly i sold the HKS fcon and bought a AEM series 2 ECU. tuning and stuff is underway.
hope this update was good guys. see you all at the shootout as long as tuning go's smoothly.
