Last 2 days I went head first into my first "major" mods in the new garage. Got the rollbar and GT3 seats in (thanks rockitman!), plus took out those quiet, heavy (60lbs or so) stock mufflers and put on Fabspeed straights. Weigh nothing and sound amazing! Since we have no nearby neighbors there's no one to wake up! Following are some pics. Now I really can't wait for Sunday's autocross!!

Found these handy magnets at Lowes -- keeps track of tools while doing projects instead of having them scattered!
