    Car looks good, but I must open my mouth about your tire selection though as you claim the to be a "/track" build. Those khumos are complete shit.
    dont worry they are just temporary as it is being finished

    No doubt. Wasn't trying to chastise you on them, I just have run them myself and loathed them personally. You can get 205/50 Toyo R888s for reasonably cheap but it wouldn't take long to turn them to waste if you have them out on the street everyday. Dunlops Z1 Star Specs in 205/50 would be an awesome choice for what you're looking for.

    thank you! My soft top has the glass window but with the roll bar installed it barley fits. I just leave the glass and top like that when i ride around town cause its easier to quickly flip down and up

    ah gotcha. it doesn't stress the glass to be like that? seems it would get bounced around and could potentially crack.

    Get some FM top hats that let the car sit lower. You'll get better suspension travel too. Win win.

    Still lovin' the paint.

    If you're going to track it you should have gone with a HC Bar. It's always better to have the protection. Plus, you get the harness bar for even more safety! haha

    On a different note, that diagonal seems to be completely out of the way for the rear-view. I haven't seen that bar before.

    Its an early model hard dog bar. It was originally a double diagonal but the left one was cut out by a previous owner because it greatly prevented the driver seat from scooting back. I got it for a steal so it will be sufficient enough for what I plan on doing. If I really get into drift/road racing then ill definitely upgrade to a hardcore.

    my exact thought when purchasing them. I like the look of all the xxr wheels but everyone has them. I found these on good-win-racing.com they are discontinued and no one else that I have found carries them. Just wanted to try something different and they remind me of ce28n's. oh and not to mention they are 12.4 pds at 15x8 so that makes me really happy

    Nah, my work keeps me traveling all over the state... Today I just happened to be up there. I don't think you saw me, but I was the guy in the brown 3500 quad-cab dually mean-mugging your car at the light. I thought about yelling hi, but I didn't want to scare your girl.
