Lightbulb Here's £1,000. What would you do?

Curious to see what folk would spend cash on their own zeds right now. So somone hands you 1k and it is yours to spend on your zed as you see fit, what would you spend it on? This will vary person to person due to their own different spec ZS's. Fitting parts yourself will make the money go further but labour costs are included if you have to put it into a garage

I am still contemplating my thoughts hehe

I'm happy with the derv and the way it goes, would spend the money on Track Days and the derv to get there. Also replacing brakes, tyres etc after having fun.

Without having to worry about spending the cash.

Steel caged bearings, LSD and lightened fly wheel.

Then a pair of new tyres.

Finally a new O/S/F caliper.
