done a trackday at brands a few years back and there was a guy there in a metro that was flying round, spoke to the chap and it had the same conversion as the one in the link.
it was easy as fast a redtop converted nova but the guy had spent some extra pennies on the suspension and brakes

there are loads of these going around this way now, getting as common as redtop conversions now and can be done for quite a bit less than a redtop
