The previous owner put the non-turbo hood on it when he went to the FMIC but soon I'll have the stock hood back on. Also looking for a larger FMIC and a GT2530 turbo.

Nice!

11 point cage? Do you have any pics from the interior? I'd like to see the cage work.
Also have you dyno'd it?

Here's a shot of the front drivers side. I will get some pics of the rest of it tomorrow. You can see the front bars going down through the dash and the side bars in the pic. Near the floorboard the cage is also connected to the rocker panel as well as the floor. Its not a weld in unit but it works just fine. Especially since it came with the car.

Another view of the car. Since the pic was taken the rims have changed, the windows were tinted and the stereo went in. The stereo is coming back out though come spring time. The box is just too very. The stock hood is going back on when it gets its repaint sometime in April.

It might be I wouldn't know since there's no auto-x over here. Too bad they don't do auto-x. Maybe then we'd have an alternative to mountain racing.

Not very popular but there are american cars here and there. With the gas prices being so high in Japan, it get's really expenssive to own one.

I got tired of the bland *** US car market and moved here. So what if I pay $5 a gallon for gas. At least its high octane gas and the cars are fun to drive. Never will you read a Japanese mag like options call a 180hp FWD wagon a Super Wagon like SCC did a while back or some of the other nonsense they spit out.
