    Looks like an "IC" as in Victoracer! Direction doesn't matter!

    What do you plan to do with this one??

    I ment Victoracer.

    What to do with it??????? Parts, race, keep, spare, The White car could use some more money to dump into it.

    If you've got a place to park it, it's an excellent parts source... And if you're not racing fender to fender, I'd probably sell the hood, trunk and bumpers.

    With that tip in mind, I'm sure you'll cut me a sweet deal on that seat, since it's not solid black...

    I have 45 acres on which to "store/hide" it from my wife :P

    The seat... I have a Kirkey seat that I'm fixing to buy for 50 bucks. Which everone I like better I'm going to keep, but the other I could sell to you. First I want to get the car in my hands before I totally deside to sell parts or not.

    I'm just ribbing you in the ancient tradition of gear heads the world over upon the demise of a vehicle in a collision or the acquisition of a potential "parts" car...

    If you've got a truck and trailer, I would, by all means, race the crap out of that bad boy.

    I'm fairly set on solid black seats, but I do want to take a test sit as I think that's the lightest seat my fat a** will fit in. Care to stop by Plano on your way back from Shreveport?

    It depends on what time it is. But maybe we could stop by.

    I do have a "race" car already, the white (see 1.6 to 1.8 swap). A deal is a deal, so I bought it.[/img]

    One quick comment - you won't be racing that one with SCCA without a 4-point bar at a minimum (required for all topless Prepared cars... and a car without a windshield ain't gonna fit in any other category).

    Still, that's a hell of deal on what looks to be a pretty good car.

    Any idea what kind of shocks are holding up those coilovers?

    Mostly to make sure that it is not Hot

    also I talked to a lady that does car title work for a living. She said that I could title it with a bond for the value of the car (about 500 bucks for a 20K car, so my should not be much).
