So what you have in that KA? You mentioned it is forged? Congrats on getting it running!

I really like the CF radiator panel on your buddy's 240.

Is this the same S14.5 that was posted a while back? I think it is, and im sorry to say it's still fail.

It needs to be dropped a bit more

The wheels still aren't that good

For the love of god, PLEASE! remove the Sparco sticker

Im not going to get into the bodykit, wing, and seats. Its your car after all.

(PS. Shouldv'e went kouki)

OP: Keep at it

I could have sworn that i read somewhere having a harness without a rollcage is not only impractical but also very unsafe..

It is if not mounted off a harness bar or cage. broken necks ftw.

If the roof caves in and you are stuck in a sitting-up position... broken necks ftw, as said by Logan. Harnesses are for use with a roll-bar or cage only.

Even then... you should be wearing a helmet with a cage.
