nice job selectively re-using the OEM bits... looks very clean and light weight... not sure why you need the center console, but I'm sure there's a plan

thanks Travis. We decided to campaign the car in Modified RWD class which means the oem dash and complete center console must be retained per the rules. I get a kick out of the cup holder.

Looking Good Sharif.

I would paint the safety bars Black.

you forgot to remove of the Splash Guards? Or there's a reason for them?

looking forward for the test result.

I was going to start another thread with a full track review. But to say the least, our 370Z race car program smashed our expectations for it's first track event, even with a fairly important adjustment that still needs to be made to the front shock travel. We ran a 1:19 lap at Roebling Road on the 3rd lap out in the morning. That car is absolutely insane in the corners, and the braking power is off the charts. I had an idiot's grin on my face for hours after I climbed out of the car. We had the fastest car at this Porsche club event, and there were plenty of heavy hitters. Many GT3's on slicks, 997TT's, etc..etc.

And still with a bone stock engine and intake. Just the test pipes and exhaust...not even a tune!! It's only get to get much faster from here.
