When, or if, you get a cage to run 9s you can gut the doors. There is ALOT of weight in them.

Car looks killer, I like it.

yeh ive done the doors, ripped out all the **** unda the dash, i havnt removed the floor goo yet as i dont really know if the effort to weight saved is worth it, its not like im gonna have a power problem,
The motor in the engine bay at the moment is a dummy block we have set up so all the bolt ons can be sorted too , so it aint the built one in there yet

The cage is a definate, safety items are something im not letting slip

indeed the pipework was the original setup from japan, it had a hks cooler setup with knightsports turbo, rechipped computer, bigger injectors, os twin plate clutch,tein ha coilovers, re exhuast and mazdaspeed seat, to which i had to sell as me legs went numb after me big *** didnt fit properly

Im still waiting for my hks drag coilovers to come in as aparently my suplier has told me that they were on a six month back order becuase they had none in stock

Oh an thanks for the comments guys, i will keep yous posted and ill do my best to show as many pics of the build that i can, vids will be a definate, dyno an track, and maybee the odd street tyre test

the m2r is very limited at doing any input or output off the shelf, i have used up all sept one output becuase of wiring the cdi unit, which used all four channells of ignition, the nos im not sure how ill go yet, i dont even know if it will be needed, but the motec can get other channels bought into it, as it is just a m4 downgraded but has all upgrades avail.
And yes the bends on the turbs im a bit stiff about, not the best looking job at getting round a corner, its something im always wanting to get changed
