hmmm,

i'm going to say an unrestrictive full turbo exhaust system in stainless. I'm thinking 2 1/2" from around the gearchange back.

apart from that the ally hubs are a good idea, Kad were doing some but for some reason they have not materialized, mini sport appear to have copied them but 'd be a pretty sceptical on using them.

also alloy drive flanges could be good once again minisport do them but i'd be wary.

TPS Bracket (not very fancy & possible a limited market but no one makes one currently)

Alloy or Carbon gear stick, save a bit of weight.

Decent rear beam with an ARB fitted to it, possibly with mounts extending under the floor & also along the boot floor to better locate it & stop it twisting.

Fiesta MK1 or MK2 brake caliper carriers.

Light weight exhaust, I'm thinking thin stainless.

Conversion kit to mount the stearing rack to the front sub-frame not sure how you'd do it mind.

Alloy top sub-frame mounts with built in spacers so that you can mount the sub-frame higher up thus lowering the car with out effecting the geometry.

Got to admit i have thought about a nice internal gear linkage made using rod ends like most race cars. Only slight problem is how to provide a reverse lock out. How much is the KAD unit? What price would i need to sell at to make it attractive?

How much for a rear disk setup?


Kad linkage is £200ish and the rear disc set up is £600

Tbh the linkage isnt mega dear , it cost me £100 for 2 racetec universal joints to make mine.

Don't need one! Lol

But yeah that would be worth looking into aswell, would have to be quite flexible with turbo choice though,as I can't imagine too many people using the same setup.
