This first thread I will use to bring you upto date on the current state of the car and we'll go from there

Most of the main mods are listed in my sig.. the main aim of the car being to create a fast road/light track use car that returns good performance and economy without sacrificing day-to-day useability too much! To that end there will be no roll cages or removed rear seats here, however nor will there be anything on the car that doesn't either make it go or look better.
Mechanicically the car is pretty sound, just passed MOT after needing rear beam bushes. Needs a rear wheel bearing soon, but hopefully nothing major till the cambelt + clutch which i plan to have done for the second time in 2010. (Cambelt was done at ~20k in 2005) Currently at a geniune 48000 miles so there is plenty of life in her yet! This week I have been fitting my new OMP rear strut brace, stripping a little more trim and fitting my new FRP rear seats....

That'll do for now. Next to do are some matching blue front seats, but NOT racing puma seats (too heavy!!) watch this space...
