It was a dedicated track car, but I'm using it as a weekend warrior and a track car. It has kirkey seats in it, but I'm replacing them with Recaro's from a mitsu Evo. Will be doing a few other small things here and there, but now looking for a nice set of used ccw's for the street. Was about to buy an 18" set but they were 11 and 12" wide and I was told that's for a dedicated track setup, not street use.
