Are the cam chains quiet, at those miles you might want to look at replacing them before driving it hard.

IIRC he has a stack of reciepts for major service items which included the chain and tensioners etc.

Did you not say that when you where going through the paper work about what has been done to the engine that the chain had been done????
If so when was it done as it shouldnt be tappety, like you said the engine is going to be the last thing you are doing, just make sure that you really lok after it then if you are going to take it around a track until you do something with it, last thing you need is it blowing up on you  :laugh:

Look, we obviously don't like each other.

But please please please prioritize stuff. Before buying fancy steering wheels or vented hoods you don't need, sort stuff that needs sorting first like the tappety engine, any rust/welding needed, safety equipment (that includes a proper roll cage with a proper harness bar, seat, helmet, fire extinguisher) and then you can move to upgrading it for track use. You've done the first and most important thing already, stripped it, so now you can start adding upper and lower strut braces along with any engine mods you may want to do. Don't spend money pointlessly on parts you really don't need like that bonnet. You're better off spending it on track driving lessons or a trackday different than brands hatch or even a set of trackday tyres.
