Then your original description is completely inaccurate. Half the crap you want on your stripped out
street car would be pulled off and ebay'd on day 1 of a race car build.

Ordering shells like that is for race teams that will be spending 100 thousand dollars a year to compete, maintain and travel their car.
Get real, if you can't afford the regular brz YOU SURE AS SHITE aren't going to be racing one.

Who in this thread said anything about building a low budget street car? Not Max Schnell, and certainly not me (hint: BIWs don't have VINs). I, at least, was talking about actual race cars, not street cars or tuned track day/autocross cars. And if you were building a
race car, and it absolutely had to be an AS1, you would save a considerable amount of time, effort and money by buying a BIW.

This is a high hopes and totally silly. If you have ever owned/modified a car you know how pie in the sky this idea is.

Why would you even want to use any of that crap on a race car? (OEM engine mounts included)
