Just wondering, are cages illegal for a daily driver?

How hard have you pushed it on the track ?

Where my car was way too stiff for normal road use, it was really nice at AHG and Wanners.

John should know, he has ALL of them..

Cheers
In order of the way I'd do it all again

Set of R-comps
Brake upgrade (pads/rotors)
Coilovers
Rear Sway
Front Sway
Antilift kit
Roll centre kit
Trailing Arms
Lateral Links
Rear Diff
Front Diff
Center Diff
Clutch
Flywheel
Underbody braces (H-brace, centre brace, rear braces)
Fender braces

List goes on... As you do more and more, the car becomes less and less road friendly though.

Best mod: Seat time at AHG. You can have the best car in the world, but unless you can drive it doesn't matter (unless of course you have an Evo that drives it self )

Id do R-Comps last John.

No point tearing up expensive rubber while learning the car/yourself

Thanks that is most helpful, yep I agree with the AHG seat time, that is my main goal, I plan on going there as much as is possible and getting used to the car first and learning howto handle it properly, then slowly work my way up. I think for now I have a good package, I will hold off anything drastic and go with seat time for the time being.


Cheers for all your help.

Not if you get it re-registered as a 2-seater.

I have removed my rear seats since cage went in, still working on the re-registering bit....might get there eventually.

Yeah, I have done power (I think I have enough for now), suspension, might get some new pads + rotors, then do seat time. Then after that sit back and think of what I want/need.

Cheers
