Brought this car bone stock in late 2012 and never had intentions on turning it into a fully fledge track car. First track outing was November 2014 and has been a steady stream of modifications and track days since.

Go for a Wavetrac diff.
No other car makes me want to sell mine apart from this one. Has to be my favorite car. (apart from mine)

Purchesed the Wavetrac ATB LSD, new bearings and seals ect. This diff rebuild cost has escalated.
Just to show much much the differant ratio makes, film car is stock diff, quickest is using a 4.10 then 3.91 far right.

What will it top out at sam? My math says will still do 170/175 at push. Which is more than enough for every UK circuit. You'd want a 3.91 ratio for the ring and spa I'd say. |

Just waiting on bearings and diff builder to come back off holiday then all this lot can go togther.
