hehehe that is what i am doing too, i have many body parts and they are rarely white... LOL i have blue- black etc.
You know you are deep in racing, when you start buying used body parts instead of ARC titanium IC piping, and cherish them as they are ARC titanium parts... LOL

At this point I need a hood, fenders, front bumper and trunk. Both doors have been touched up as well. As for spares I'm with you, I have spare fenders but they are black, I have a spare trans, T-case, Rear end, axles, suspension pieces, Hubs, clutch disk, calipers and other parts I cant think of at the moment. For a distant or big race like the Runoffs, I take all the spare mechancal parts with me.

Just take the car to the track and get some seat time. That's the best mod you can do.
I agree with you on seat time and understand where you were going with this, but I don't think it takes being a semi pro; Just an understanding and awareness of the vehicle dynamics. Are you able to speak from experience about both platforms or variations?

Sorry, I have a 'noob question' for you road course guys. What is the little red box that I see attatched to the front of your cars? It's usually attatched to the grill in front of your intercooler, etc. What's it's purpose? Thanks in advance!

It's a transponder, sends your lap times to timing and scoring

^ Thank you! Is it mandatory, or up to the race team? Appreciate it!

Would you guys care if I posted my 3000gt VR-4? I am a part of the 3/S community but no one really laps or races these things on a road course, not appreciated. Just thought I would ask.

Ya I got a buddy in Orlando that's got a pretty sick stealth, but we don't want to turn this thread into a "show your show car that has seats and a harness." If your really made the effort to turn it into a daily/track car, then hell ya bring it on. If you post it elsewhere let us know too
