(((((VR6 STANDARD - TO - VR6 TRACK ))))))

[tech1889]

Dont need trade plates unless it has no tax as i took a new VW Golf out for test drive with tax and no traders plates..

For a start you picked a bad choice of car to start track driving imo.. But as you have it and have pulled it to pieces..

Roll cage ( full not a fanny half cage )
Big brakes ( or good quality disks and pads
Move battery to boot
remove air con and all associated parts..
relocate washer bottle to boot..
change bonnet and wings for carbon/ fiber glass copies..
lower on coilovers of good quality and dampening adjustable
carbon fibre bucket seats
and proper harnesses
a decent full exhaust manifold back
air filter with cold air feed..
get it rolling roaded and set up properly
front splitter
good quality helment and race suit ( as you dont want to burn in a fire lol )
maybe race logic traction control

The list my friend is endless with out a budget and without knowing what you really want to do no advice can be given..

And please please please please don't write a thread in capitals is very f**king annoying 

All the best

modified is one thing, road legal is another - and i am sure the polis will have a BIG interest in your lack of dash etc. but hey what do i know.

Im not sure they would bother with the fact he has no dash, he does still have the speedo's and there are no loose wires hanging around stop his vision, iv got a mate with a full stripped car and the police have pulled him twice now and never said anything about no dashboard however they did ask about the insurance knowing about the mods to the car.

Maty u said about your bonnet, well why dont you look at a carbon fibre one, that would save you a lot of weight, get rind of the lifter and put bonnet pins on. I think nw that every mod you do now has to take in the fact that it needs to reduce weight and work better so your breaks when yu uprate them need to work a lot better but weigh less, so things like this need to be reaserched. Look into getting some light weight alloys too as bet yours arent too good being the standard. The only wheels that i now a very very light but look good too are the OZ Ultraleggera, check then out on google, think they weigh 8kg each?

techs right you only need trade plates if you have no tax !

as ive mentioned a million times i didnt buy a vr6 to track. i bought it because i did and then later decided to track it.
(I KNOW THE VR6 IS NOT THE BEST CHOICE OF CAR TO TRACK) but i have it now and its what im working with.

peej do you know where i can get carbon fibre bits ? 

im not 100% but i thought as long as you have indicators, speedo and there are no dangerous edges it was legal to have no dash,
basically its legal if it passes and mot ! and in an mot the only thing they check on your dash is the lights ! and by law it has to show a speedo ? i supposse the only real way to find this out for sure is to get pulled up a few time ! saying that i havent been pulled up in about 3 years !

the problem i have moding this car is is not the money its the time doing the mods as i work all the hours god sends and i work shift work ! so im just gonna plod along, get some tips off you guys and do what i can when i can.......

also any car i own or am in the possetion of can be moddified in anyway, i do not need to inform my insurance of this,nor does it affect my primium ! the only thing/car/s i can not drive is ammerican cars as this was an optional extra at a cost, i didnt want this on my policy as i will never drive buy or own a yank car.

So your a car trader that can't drive any Fords, Chrysler etc?

Sorry mate now 100% sure where you can get them from, best bet is to keep your ears to the ground and siv through the classifieds on here and ebay. However i did find this though, i would email the guy asking how  much it weighs as it doesnt say, just to compare it against a standard one.
