    Small little update.

    I said some exciting things were happening a while ago. Well, they are. I dropped the Mimi off at the cage shop and he is "fitting it in" around his other cars he is doing (no pictures of the progress yet). He builds vipers for Pirelli World Challenge. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up by the beginning of next month though. After that she'll be getting painted again and then I'm off to the Mid-Ohio school for comp school!

    In the mean time, Since the first track day is approaching very fast and I won't have Mimi, My dad let me install my old roll bar in his car and Im taking it to the first track day. His is a 2003 Factory Club Sport. Built for STR but not competitive. Very fun car though!





    Also I went and picked up my bus out of storage all winter. Got to get her tuned back up for the summer!

    My initial thoughts were that i was going to be able to buy a split window, but the price slowly went WAY up just for a passenger 11 window. So I settled with an early bay. I can't stand the way late bays look. Way too modern and the engine design is less than adequate.

    +1 on liking the bus! I know that it's not made for it, but, how cool would it be tow your blue track car with the VW Bus? Deck the bus out with similar race livery as your car... sooooo flipping sweet!

    Ive thought about it before, trust me! lol. With all 33hp! People do a Subaru engine swap in them all the time.

    Also, Ive been thinking of painting my car with the notorious Falken Tire livery...

    I'd guess $2500 -$3000 for an installed cage.

    I paid $2100 installed and painted. He also included a left side window net with the price, also he installed my right side net for me and made some hardtop brackets.
