For a garage I can definately recommend Kent car Craft

Very knowledgable and used to be MR2 owners themselves

For track use, I'd be looking at losing the 17"s and sticking a nice set of 15s on personally. Other than that, I'd say just enjoy it and get used to it first.

First a good service inc brakes and fluids (inc box oil?... hows the throw?) and lastly a good geo set up. In between lose the 17s. If you want to mod polybushes perhaps if the steering feels vague (has it got PAS?) since they're getting on if original. At the same time change ARBs if you want it flatter yet. To be honest it depends on how the coilovers suit once you get it out there the first time. For the first time just a service and check over, see how she goes.
Then add less weight.

PS Rogue have a race division who I'm sure can supply info and bits. If you refresh the brakes they sell Carbotech pads reckoned to be the best on track.

Is it a track-only car, or road as well?

[kirsty t]

cheers for your replies

MOT's on monday & all being well she'll be on the road. gonna give kent car craft a call so they can give it the once over (thanks Stuart for the recommendation).

As the engines just been rebuilt we we be running her in on the road & getting used to how she handles before we start tracking her.

Can't wait to get to grips with the beast as it will be totally different experience from our modded ST

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge & I'm sure I'll have many more questions as time goes by
