Engine, gearbox, rear beam, new ECU and wiring loom (to give OBD2 functionality).

Then there's the little things, polybushes, wheels/tyres, brakes.

So much to do before next season!

Flipping heck. Are you getting friends to help you with changing the engine & box? Are you re-con yourself or swapping over?

Will probably rope in some mates to help. I'm aiming to recon the engine myself, gearbox I'll be on the lookout for something with an LSD.

That gearbox isn't going to be cheap then! Recon the engine yourself. Are you talking head off, piston rings, skim the head etc or more basic bits?

Yeah we saw that! The drifting was pretty good to, a good chance to see just how quick they could clutch kick it into the esses.
Yours wasn't that saxo that was smoking? I remember one was frown
