The usualbucket seats,harness bar/harnesses,custom dash etc etc etc......should look how i wanted in the end when it's finished.I was contemplating a roll cage also but as my car will be track and road as well,i thought with my head and not my heart,as i have knocked my head on a roll cage bar before (it wasn't nice!!!) and unless i am wearing a helmet all of the time i drive my car,i.e...A dedicated track toy,in my opinion it dose not make any sense to add all that steel to a road car semi track toy.SJ.

Good to see you carrying on with it

What seats have you gone for out of interest?

Seats and a harness bar are on my list, it's just finding the right ones that will allow for a range of shapes and sizes in the passenger side

Sparco evo's 2014 edition.The seat area is a tad wider on those seats and don't pinch my hips,as my build is stocky so need the extra width .I tried a set of bride seats to say that I needed a crow bar to get back out would be a understatementMy advice Iain is to try before you buy I must of Sat in atleast 15/20 different bucket seats at demon tweeks before I decided on the sparco seats.SJ.

More progress to my interior done by Neil,Steering Wheel fitted with QRB boss,and my battery that i swore i was going to fit in the bay has now been moved to the boot,but there is a good reason and more update's will be coming soon on that,also the intercooler spray tank that is standard on the STI for the top mount intercooling,will be utilized to feed the window washers as that area will be required shortlyIt's taking shape now as more parts are being fitted and i am starting to see a positive end of my project,may it continue that way.

Sorry if this has been answered already but what are you hoping for power wise and do you want a 50/50 road track setup or something more track focused?

P.s looking great as always.

Power wise it will be running 600+ on Vpower well that's what my car is specified for I was going to say hope for but after the amount of planing and my spec sheet i can be quite optimistic in the power out come.My car will be used basically as a track street car say 70/30 split 70% being for track use,I am old enough now to have a family car (7 seats) for the family outings and traveling all together,so my car is strictly a TOY as will my wife's car be when its finished but more say a 50/50 target use for her.Thanks for the positive comments mate.SJ.
