Hi Dave
You’ve not said how you will decide which is best but whether it’s a drag race or a circuit race / track day, get some lightweight wheels and good tyres. Best place to save weight whilst getting the best out of your suspension and adding grip. Could go for a half cage to the rear to stiffen it a bit and add safety without compromising daily use. Lightweight seats also a good next step. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update on track car/ Road car.
Manged too do some more and removed the heater blower and the heater matrix, tided all up and now everything works again.
Still need too sort the dash clocks tho, have too admit I'm struggling what I can do with them, at the moment its held on by tiebacks and small amount of silicone sealant, which too me isn't good enough I want it solid so it will pass the MOT and the FIA lads will be happy with the set up. Making a track race car and road car is a pain in the beep. Still it should be all fine. Ordered these beauty's. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OMP-TR-S-...YAAOSwFMZWrHBE and these as well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SALE-DA02...FEjJv2Gqwegq5A The next step is the roll cage now regarding this I'm a bit thingy with it, There's two options you got the bolt on or a fully welded one. Both qualify with the FIA However soon due motorsport health and safety, all cages have too welded on too compete. You know what that means, Prices will be going up like anything too get these cages welded. Been quoted £650 all in for mine too be made and fabricated. From what I've learned that I can only compete in certain races, while with the fully welded one your able toom do them all, I need think abouyt that one. With the extra weight gone have too say she's a bit better on fuel and she's more lively, Less load on the battery and alternator with hardly anything connected just the things I need too keep it road legal. Also planning too ask the Caearfron airport too see if I'm allowed if nots busy its a only a small airport rescuer helicopters. I want too give the probe a run on the stretch and see the difference for myself propyl. Should be fun if I can arrange it and film it too.

Question reagarding Plexiglass.
Anyone here ever done any sort of plexi glassing before and how too do it?
Doesn't seem to be a service on fitting so looks like I'll have too do it myself, I'd rather pay someone too do it. Any ideas and also is this stuff flammable?
