The obvious places to start are good dampers and springs, make your diff mount stronger, stiffen the beam, think about adjustable beam, fit 3 door hubs (if you have Sapph hubs), make sure your tyre pressures are right, fit sticky tyres, get the ride height correct.

What are you free to change on yours Charlie under the race regs in the series you race in?

Presumably an adjustable beam is not allowed but obviously springs and dampers are. Are you allowed to fit anything that was fitted to a production line Cosworth i.e you've got the 3-door hubs. Can you change ARB's, adjust caster/camber etc?
