Ok been muling this over for a while now so i'm hoping you guys and girls can help me
Thinkin i want to turn my saph into a full on track/road wepon . Im thinkin flock dash, full cage (door bars ,bulk head strenghening ect) light weight door cards (flock of course ) 4/5 points , maybe change to buckets fuel cell , carbon panels for for guages , AVCR,fues,switch gear . Think plexi glass may be a step to far but still undecided .

I f your going to go to town mate do it properly and fully strip and get it as light as poss
Id sell yours and build one from a proper shell,cheaper in the long run and no sunroof etc to worry about,i even no of a good saph chassis going at the mo..
Grp n shell with rollcentre full cage right through to the turrets nice and light in white and already rolling on pollybushed front and rear end,or even better an escos shell...

This one im talking about is already rigerstered as it was used to reshell a smashed cosworth..
G222 bgs is the reg, i built it from bare shell and used it at 600 hp then took engine out and sold on to a friend who then broke it after a few years and its since been standing in a workshop gathering dust..

its got 2wd front and rear end ready for some decent shocks brakes etc..
Needs a good clean up and a bit of paint here and there but its straight solid and ideal for fast road and track day,reckon you could buy for Ł1500..
