once i start racing HC i will do it but i daily drive this thing and it is already super loud inside. the rest of the interior parts will be going back in except the back seats. the carpet in the rear will be somthing along the lines of what roderz has done. and the front will just have floor mats basiclly.

honestly you gota be a smaller guy for it to fit you. the upper body area is really tight on me, im 5'7 155lbs. but the way the seats fits me is great. i had a chance to sit in an sparco evo the other day and it felt alittle loose to me, i love how tight the BC holds me in/

Re: progress on the project (endyn'ed)
well i haven't updated this in awhile and i have done alot. In august i futhered my quest to join H1 buy purchasing a 2000 JDM ITR motor with 10,000 miles on it. Drove it at Sears point one weekend and then to a local shop and i threw a rod and destroyed my motor. Spun a bearing it seized and, well the res is history. Here are some pictures
the week befor she blew
here is the damage
Well that promted me to think about the money it will take to rebuilt and if it happens again, so I sold everything off of the motor that i could, I made 3800 so far, with about 300 dollars worth of stuff for sale still. I then, after much searching found a D16z6 motor, complete swap for 400 dollars. I completly dissassembled it and its now in the shop being completly rebuilt to HC specs, its going to be about 1800 for the toatle. I also picked up a tranny with 4.7 FD with zero miles on the FD and 80,000 on the rest for 600. So 1800+400+600=2800, with another 1000 still left over from the ITR motor. This will help buy new rims, and helped with X-mas presents.
Sold my old brake setup and got enough money for the 1995 civic SI with ABS with all new bearings, rotors, calipers, and pads.
here is the new brakes, with the sperical bearing, hopefully they work out great.
Koni SPSS3's thanks to Carl_aka_carlos, all the yellow's at the hardware store were fugly so i went with a red
pile o Parts, radiator, header, and fully SI wiring harness
Front bumber, with half of the diffuser done
the garage, amist the madness of working
the two trannies, one with the 4.7FD and the other one is stock SI
front spindel, new calipers, rotors, and wheel bearings, thanks to Fast Under Car, for now while the car is still in HPDE status and will be driven to and from the track i stuck with Cobalt GT-sports, thanks Mike, also SS brake lines came from Mike there awaiting to be installed, Eibach 600lbs springs up front
rear setup, new rotors, new hubs and bearings, along with Cobalt GT-sports also, Eibach ERS 800lbs springs out back
Roll bar is painted black, I was hopeing to get the front hoop in but it will have to wait utill may
Feb 18th the motor is going in, brakes bleed, and ill be heading out to the HC NorCal opner to observe, photograph, and help out, but wont be doing the DE's that weekend. Some small but important stuff is needed befor i will go out again
thats it for now, ill update it again when the motor is in the car is rolling.

ehhh crying wasn't going to do me anything, it happened i got over it and moved on.
the car will be driven on the street alot, making lots of long trips to SoCal, and 2 or 3 hour drives to NorCal tracks
