Impressive for sure. I like how you did the racing harness there. Been wanting to do something without destroying the back seat. And that looks pretty slick.

Kind of hard to see from this angle, but i got my crank pulley shaved and rebalanced.

bought the factory N1 pulley, but was wary of the issue of the dampener, so chose this way instead.

Gosh, they are pricy. I want one SOOOOO BAD though. Maybe I will just get it. I have to read some rules too. I think you need some sort of roll cage to run under 11.99 at my 'local' track.
