Yep I track my car and race it in the Toyota Sprint Series with a full interior. In fact the class I'm in actually stipulates a full interior is a requirement otherwise I go up into the pro category. Seeing as you spend more time commenting on car forums than driving why don't you look it up via your digital pal Google.

Yes, I agree and no it still shouldn't catch fire under road use.

haha What now, cant I be into racing and my music ?! I'd love to know what you think a "serious racer" constitutes. You have visions of Fangio with an open face helmet, smoke stained cheeks and and white overalls and I'd hazard that the closest you've come to a race track is via your high end gaming PC in your basement with your headset on and little steering wheel controller in your hand.

You can always find a negative comment or bad review about all manufacturers products. Some people on the forums are just plain stupid and have too much time on their hands, spouting rubbish no matter what (yes these people really do exist). As is always the case I dont read to much into forum reviews and tend to find out things for myself. In this case I'd have settled for my car not starting - a battery fire was never on the cards.

Nope, again you're making yourself look like a prepubescent teenager with a car fixation. I said that I thought this was a faulty product and a one-off. I'd happily have had a replacement however the way the manufacturer dealt with me was way off what I would expect.
From reading your reply again I can't understand any of your points. You've just ignored my comments and explanations and replied with nothing new or useful to anyone reading my thread.
You did make me laugh especially at the thought of you playing Gran Turismo in your basement, only taking time off to troll forums and give everyone the benefit of your "racing experience". I only respect comments from those with the wherewithal to actually forward the platform by improving it with their hard earned. Hanging a smiley face air freshner off your rear view mirror and fitting chrome valve caps to your wheels means you don't qualify
