    Good to have the update on status of your car project Paul...all the best as you move forward with the auto to manual conversion.

    Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to MOTD this year...a work conflict makes it impossible for me to get there before Saturday afternoon, so no sense.

    Please pass along my regrets to the fellows over at the cabin....I was looking forward to the morning drives....and the "bottle rocket attacks"....(They'll know exactly what I'm talking about!...LOL)

    Looking forward to see how this turns out as I've thought about this for the future. I didn't realize all of the other changes they made for the Aisin.

    Good Luck! :fingerscrossed:

    May I have the rear wing please?

    I already have the proper back glass installed.

    MOTD delivery is fine.

    This is an awesome project Paul. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    You're number 2 in line for the wing, if Chris doesn't want it.
    (Let's face it... everyone wants it. It's a matter of whether they will pay for it.)

    Paul--sent you an email--Nate can have first dibs. If I can't give my current wing a stiffy and Nate passes I'll revisit it though.

    Blimey,
    I see no mention of the seats on either the keep or sell lists. I'm interested if that was simply an oversight.

    Nice to see you back on-line.

    Thanks.

    Valid question. I'm not going to use the seats, but I don't know whether they're in sellable condition until I see the car. If they're any good, and anyone wants them, I'll sell them. Unfortunately, they're not the awesome euro Recaros. There's nothing really special about the US GP seats, except the color.

    Well, I am definitely interested in the seats if you find them salable. With only 76k, I'm hoping they're in good shape.

    It's warming up here in Michigan and I'm starting to get a little anxious to get behind the wheel.

    Driven on the highway, in traffic, in the snow. Multi-car collision. :frown2:

    Btw. Under the rear seat is a pull ring to open the rear hatch without power
