Wow, those wheels look much better. That car is crazy cool.
What would it look like if that grill shell was an inch and a half shorter and the insert was black or charcoal (the verticle bars).Dan

Those are awesome, what does it cost to get something like that made up? I like how they have a brutally functional appearance yet maintain some comfort.

However long you think your project will take, double it and you might be halfway right.

I drove the 33 from ridetech over to my house yesterday. Before, 20 minutes was about all you could stand to ride in the car without your whole lower body going into a giant cramp. Now, in only 5 miles I can tell that it will be not only tolerable, but actually comfortable.
And comfortable is faster
Tracey Weaver at the Recovery Room is a true professional who not only is an artist but knows what it takes to make a component function as well. When he saw my car at Columbus, he said "I think I can make your car faster" who can resist that? After sharing some thoughts over the weekend I went home to take some measurements with me in the car and then sent him the seats. The artwork you see is what I received back.
The leather texture is best described as "elephant scrotum". Next time you go to the circus you'll remember that, won't you... The ridetech logo you see on the seat back was burned in with a branding iron we made at the shop. The billet grommets come right out of our catalog (love cnc machines!)
Pleased? Yeah, and way beyond that. Thanks Tracey! Now I owe you that rideBret Voelkel

Very nice.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting - Holy cow - what a ride!!!
See my build

Something hilarious happened this weekend at the GoodGuys Indianapolis show. A local TV reporter took a ride in the 33... listen closely after the 2 minute mark

Have a few important updates on the 33. A couple weekends ago Bret won the GoodGuys Texas autocross with it which is always a bonus! We fabricated a wing and installed a Centerforce Dyad Clutch in preparation for the optima Ultimate Streetcar Series coming up here in just a couple weeks. We're now working on making some decals for the race. (optima just posted a story about us prepping the car for the race on their website)
On top of that, the car will be featured on this weekends Optima Faceoff Road America show. (premiering Sunday 21st 1:00pm EST)
Centerforce Dyad Clutch meet the 33.
