Sounds good, nothing there should cause too much grief just smiles per mile

the only reason mine is high spec is the clutch\diff and gearbox can't cope with the increased torque if you go pretty much 1 step above you and fit bigger injectors... it is kinda an all or nothing situation as i have found out.

Injectors needs a bigger turbo (tho you can avoid it with SDI's if you fit an FMIC only) - turbo can allow more torque\power etc etc

It is still perfectualy usable on normal roads as it is suppsoed to remain my daily drive to get me to and from the airport for work for the foreseable future. so it is has a heavy but usable clutch, and all the interior and AC still.

Looking at the site you dont need a helmet unless its an open top, or you go over the finish line at more than 110 mph, dont know how you know that if its your first run though.

Also waiting for the rolling road Dan was arranging in Essex, to see what the bhp is now.

I have been looking at the 180 and its very tempting, getting mpg about the same. Must admit it was up and down the M3 and then the Forest meet, and it was going a lot quicker, He He,
no one will get anywhere near 110 mph at santa pod,stock zs 180 will pull between 89 -92 mph depending on the conditions on the day,diesel zs will pull high 70's low 80's imo , chris will be quickest terminal at about 104 mph imo.
