Thanks I was unsure at first..... but since it is a track car, I went for it.

Julian and Nigel (aka Simpsons) had raised eyebrows but when the wheels came, they were all sold on it as well.

I bought Sebastian's car thinking it was all done re mods for track usage. Many $$$$ later.....

I added (all by Simpson)
1) weld reinforcement plates to rear chassis
2) welded subframe to rear chassis
3) turner motorsport monoball RTAB
4) turner motorsport monoball bushings anywhere recommended by Simpsons
5) Intrax 1k2 dampers
6) supersprint race exhaust and resonated mid pipe
7) surge pot assembly
spare set of CSL alloys for wet weather tyres
9) new power steering pipes
10) stereo, AC condenser and compressor removal
11) anti-gravity rs20 lithium phosphate battery


plus open up engine, diff and transmission for inspection (luckily they were in tip top condition)
and all the cosmetic bits and it all adds up

finally the wear and tear items associated with track use

Car is perfect on track even for my skills. and, touch wood, dead reliable.

i love it.

I'm now thinking of rear and side plexiglass and maybe sides with louvres. Has anyone done this?
