Not that I know of but feel free to give me a call and I can go over it with you.
Great looking build thread. Im about at the same point with my 95 right now, you just have more shiny stuff put in =)
Looks nice.
Since you've decided to take the car this far, I would suggest welding in plates under the roll bar. Make sure you also put in places on the rocker and the sheet metal that makes up the back seat. Basically three sides of a box. Roll bars can punch through the relatively thin floor sheet metal in a rollover.

46mm wheel bearing socket for rent - $30 deposit + $10 fee. PM for details.
The sunroof delete panel came in this week. The fitment is absolutely perfect! I can not believe how well made this piece is, especially for $280 shipped.
Here is a quick update:
I finished a little more of the car today. One seat is in, along with a set of harnesses. I still need to screw in the door panels and get the other seat and harnesses in. I started her up today for the first time in 3 months, can't wait to get it out of the shop!
Looks good! I like that steering wheel, gonna have to put that on our long parts list.
It's finally drivable again! Although it seems to be done, I still have big plans for the car. I will keep everyone updated on those. As for the first drive - incredible. I can not believe how well it handles and how responsive the steering is; it is unlike anything I have ever been in before. This car is going to be very fun on the track and street. If anyone has any questions about how I did any of this work, please ask!
I would love some feed back on the pictures, let me know what you think!

Looks awesome, however you may need to lower the car .5-.75" more for the kind of track use you describe.
Good work!

Do the door panels rattle at all?

Awesome build. Looking at all these build thread, I seriously can't wait till I can start my own. Within a year i'm hoping. Keep the awesome work. BTW, how do you think the smaller steering wheel will benefit the driving? I'm thinking it will have the same effects as a short shifter per say. Smaller diameter = less rotation you have to move the wheel to turn, making steering more direct ect.
I remember test driving an Exige and that wheel is super tiny, felt great!
Get yourself a few of these to properly hold your harnesses in place:

Finally installed the front splitter:
I love everything about this car, is that an OEM LTW splitter?
