I'll take it to the track once in a while but it is mostly just my toy and for pleasure driving. I have had many race cars in my life and I just wanted something I could play with on the street.

Just wanted to give an update. Things are coming along slowly but I'm getting there. Here's a couple shots of the air cleaner setup I decided to go with. It's down to the little things now finishing the wiring, installing the gauges, run the cooling lines and such.

I got the tires mounted on my new wheels. ZE forged Boost model wheels and M&H dr's on the rear with Goodrich KDW2’s up front. Now if I could only get the car finished I’d be happy.
