But for now it's autocross for me. My location is awkward to not travel to different autocross events around central Florida. So it its over 2 hours away, I make it a two day overnight stay for me and my fiancé . Saturday we'd normally arrive early morning to the city and go for a cruise and visit various shops and restaurants. Then the event happens on Sunday to have some fun.

I would definitely recommend my Recaro if you are over a 32 waist, if not go with a bride since they are pretty easy to fit in the car from what I can tell. The RE11's work fine for track. If you make a weekend out of Autox I guess that can be nice. I'm just personally not a fan on sitting in the middle of the course for two hours in the blazing heat haha. During the "winter" time it's cool though.

As far as the racing seat goes, I would like to get one that I can easily take out and install the oem seat back in when I'm not autocrossing.

Well once you get any seat in it will only be the 4 bolts on the floor to get it out. Mine comes in and out very quickly now that it is aligned and everything else is bolted together.

Whoops! I never posted these shots with the wheels a little cleaner haha. Little update I picked up a Sakebomb car cover which is the bomb love it keeps a lot of water off my car. No cool pictures though sorry. Currently my car is not starting for an unknown reason I made a post in the general tech section if you want to see me explain what's going on and give some input maybe.

Thanks, unfortunately my car isn't starting for reasons unknown to me. Might be towing it up to Pettit to take a look. However if it was running it is way too HOT to be outside for any period of time right now haha.
