Not slating anything, I personally love your car and would have it over that prep and play 3 door for the reasons that jonboy gives, yes the 3 door has had fortunes spent on it and its a great car but so much of it has been spent just because the owner thinks its nice to do not because its in anyway useful at all, there is thousands of pounds worth of parts you could remove and make no difference at all to the car, like all the loom connections etc, they are just of no benefit on a trackday car.
Im not slating it at all, its his car and he clearly enjoys it and its a very nice car, but I feel that in terms of getting performance yours has had money spent far more inteligently TBH
Although I do actually TOTALLY disagree on the gearbox, thats one of the best moves he has made!

I was just asking cause you kept calling it a racecar but Ive only seen it at trackdays so I just wondered if there was something else you did with it as well (like AG with the scottish saloon car championship for example) as id have been interested in going along and watching how you got on if you were racing it.
