How much were those VeilSide seats?

Little under 2,000. Best bang for the buck I could find in the carbon reclinable seat area. I actually dont know if I am going to be able to fit in them. Tight waste line.

Because my car is mild....your car is wild or whatever is next....I'm not a show junkie, so I don't know. But I do know that Jeff (the dude with the green FD and team emotion) is with team emotion for a reason.....can we say emo?

well, I appreciate what you have done, it being a 3 rotor and all, and I like the fortune kit, but with all the CF and the interior it's a little over the top. kinda like a velvet Elvis.

your car looks great. How is the fitment on the widebody kits? and I was just wondering where did you score all the carbon fiber interior parts. I have been looking them forever. Can you please tell me where to get them. once again your car rocks. thanks!!

A little update -

I picked up an ATL Fuel Cell sponsorship. I wanted a cell, but I really did not want to lose drivability of the car. In other cars I have driven, the smaller fuel cells require many fill ups that can really be annoying even on a 2 hour drive. With the GT42R turbo system, fuel will get eaten. To compensate, I went with a bigger cell, almost the size of the stock tank. I was not able to drop this cell as low in the trunk due to the frame rails, but I was able to drop it a few inches, which I believe will keep my center of gravity low enough for my purposes. The other interesting thing is that I used 2 feeders that go into a collector at the back of the tank because there was not a large enough fitting that could come directly from the tank. This cell is aluminum and has a built in surge tank. I am curious to hear thoughts on the higher center of gravity. Thanks.

Thank you.

I have not reached a point to dyno the car yet. The tuning is still going on while all this is happening, as well as getting the steering and suspension straightened further out. I was happy to take my first drive in it the other day, but it was an interesting experience to say the least.
