    Rollcage is overkill if your only going to do a few trackdays but harnesses are a good idea. I'd say most important things are: Brakes (You've already done them) Air Filter / Induction kit Exhaust with sport cat Re-map Second set of wheels with slicks Rear Koni's Mark Fish Springs and Geo...

    No.382 For Sale.......

    Middle of the splitter fell off a week after I bought the car. Amazingly it looks symetrical so can't be bother to replace it until the other pieces fall off. Mats came with the car and even though they are not the greatest looking they work and keep the carpets mint. I live in Solihull so...

    No.382 For Sale.......

    Decided to test the water with my car as I've been thinking about buying an M3 as a track car. Not really using the Trophy as much as I liked as I work from home and it has only done one track day and one ring trip in my possession. Not really desperate to sell so will see if I get any bites...

    Trophy 019/500 + Orb

    Would you be interested in selling the Orb separately.

    Decision Time........

    S2000 is a no go as it's a soft top. 350z is out of my budget once you start adding trackday bits. At the moment I'm thinking E36 M3 which can be picked up for 5-6k. Sell the interior, exhaust, brakes and anything else I'll be upgrading. Then add AP 6 pots, full cage, two bucket seats, full...

    Decision Time........

    I did look into the pure trackcar market but as you mentioned I'd need to buy a trailer and tow car. I've got a couple of friends with the KTM X-Bow and love them to bits but at 50k way out of my league at the moment. The only other one would be the Atom but your still looking at 30k. I don't...

    Decision Time........

    Pretty much what I was thinking. I went out in my friends track prepped E36 M3 around the ring and it was epic. We were bating GT3's, E46 M3's, etc. You need about 10k to make an E36 a real track weapon but you can do it in stages which makes it feasible.

    Decision Time........

    After my recent trip to the Ring in my Trophy I felt the car was lacking outright power which is no surprise as I used to track and ring an E39 M5. I bought the car with the intention of using it as a daily hack but a have really grown fond of it especially it's capability on track. I now need...

    AY55 *** Nordschleife

    That was me :) Got back on Monday, had to be one of my worst visits to the ring in a long time. Only managed 7 laps over 2 days due to the stoppages :( On a postive note the car was faultless and it seemed to go pretty well. Felt a bit underpowered but you'd expect it when your chasing...

    Climate Control

    My last 5 cars have all had CC and I think it's a great feature. I hate having to fiddle around the dials to get the right temp and then constantly adjust the fan speed. I try to use my AC once a month as previously mentioned if you don't use it the compressor can seize costing a lot to fix...

    Climate Control

    I would love to have Climate Control in my Trophy. Has anyone here done it or know what is involved.

    1*2 Flat wiper

    I bought a set of Bosch items from eBay for £23 all in. Massive improvement over the stock blades.

    xenon's on a Trophy?

    I looked into it but decided on better bulbs. The basic set up is actually very good and with the new Phillips bulbs I fitted a few weeks ago I'm happy with the results. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/h7-phi ... 16782.html
