I wound up with TrackBird a couple years ago. She's still tracking in northeast ohio. Added a roll bar, full containment seat, and removable steering wheel. Minor upgrades, new bearings, longer studs, 18" wheel, steering rack & pump (still dealing with overflow issues, looking to move cooler).

Working on upgrading the front to LS spindles to add 4 piston brakes. Going back and forth on adding some UMI control arms. Maybe add a oil cooler.

Sounds like some good upgrades. Where does it get on track? Autocross? Track days?

Wow, glad to see it still in action and getting better in the process! That car was super fun for sure. With my Vette back in action, hopefully we'll see out in the world too.
