Paul how much have you had to spend on replacing bits after your track session and how much did you have to spend on getting it track suitable (like suspension brakes) if you dont mind me asking ?
Might help Benn see the real costs of "fun track" cars
Well let me see.....
The week after i bought it i put on 1000 mile old **cough** G-Max **cough** suspension, i know, i know its wank - but its was a little better than the 100,000mile old Ford stuff that was on there, plus it lowered it by 35mm.
I also bought a new stainless steel Mongoose system as the original Ford one was shot to pieces.
And then the original engine went
too, so i had to replace that
And while we were there we de-catted the downpipe
The week before the Brands track day i put on new standard discs and pads....... After....... Cooked good'n'proper
They were fubar and quickly binned for some pagid grooved discs running Ferado DS pads.
So all in all not to much really, I mean as long as the engine dont go pop it shouldn't cost too much for you to get it upto scratch.
Theres other things in the pipeline, i mean my 2nd gearbox is about to shit itself and a wheel bearing needs doing - so nothing major
