I don't think id have the balls to take anything special like an escos around the ring, i had alot of fun in the fiesta but didn't feel like i had as much to loose if anything went wrong. I was still shitting myself though. Id never even done a track day before.
parts can be had very cheap now for the puma/ fiesta, i picked up a st150 front brake setup for £50 incl p+p.
I'm still debating whether to get a puma engine or something else to put in the fiesta, ill never get it done before i go though.
what are you doing for breakdown cover?
