Damn, that car is sick! I think we have a strong IHROTM candidate here.

Looks great. And thanks for running the GRM sticker. You have no idea how much that means.

Thanks for all the comments guys. The GT6 seems happier here than on the Nissan and Subaru forums, where most people don't even know what it is!
Some future plans for the car: - I have a NOS (still in wax paper!) head, which will get milled and built this winter with any luck to increase compression, at bare minimum. - Would like to get some 14x6" wheels so that there are some better tire choices. Most likely panasports or superlites. - Need to rebuilt one of the several old diffs I have here. Wish I could find a Quaife for cheap, but not holding my breath. I don't trust the diff on the car now, as it is original and I haven't cracked it open yet... - Will get a roll bar made - Plenty of bodywork left to do. This car already has alot of fiberglass (the entire floorpan, and the rear quarter wings) so matching it and the steel panels up is always fun. - Might try the Miata seat conversion. The GT6 seats simply don't hold me in place at all!....

Always had them on my cars during autocross events! The one in the pic is a magnet, but will stick it on permanently once the car has its permanent paint on it!

btw GRM staff: you guys should come out with a second smaller decal (die-cut) that could be put on car windows!! I might even be able to sneak something like that on the wife's 4Runner without here noticing :)

Me? Nope. I've had two.. one's gone to the Great Triumph Proving Grounds in the Sky, and the other went to Germany. Both long gone.
