yup ive been driving the car here and there with no interior and only one seat. so far i have this weird issue where the whole car would turn off and turn back on, if the car was going fast enough, the car would start running again, if not, the car would turn on but the engine would stay off. i havent really diagnosed it tho... i also dont have any turn signals and i had to make my own switch for now for the headlights and parking lights to turn on so i can drive it at night.

I haven't really been able to work on the car, but slowly getting my interior in. I'll try to post some pics, hopefully I will be able to get it done before Import Face Off next month. I did use the Soarer sub frame but it is not necessary. They are interchangeable. My USDM was cracked from an accident that's why I used the Soarer one.
