can we please stop banging on about my insurance ! i have paid for it and i know all my entitlements ! i have fully read through my policy (small print included) and have also spoke to my broker who is a personal friend of mine who has confirmed what is on my policy and what i have told you guys quite a few times......... im sure a few of you have looked into trade insurance and made ur own asumption on what you have been told ! every policy is different and you basically get what you pay for.

ill say it again ( i am covered to drive ANY vehicle wether it be a sale car or my own personal car, with or without mondifications, if any vehicles i drive have been modified i do NOT need to inform my insurance company, as stated above I AM COVERED TO DRIVE ANY VEHICLE.......... hence there would be no need to inform of modifications as my policy has one price and does not go up or down depending on the car i drive or own. please stop mistaking my policy for policys you have enquired about..... it is a trade policy with social domestic and pleasure added on, which includes demonstration cover.

i hope this has made it a bit clearer for some of you now.

Where do you stand with track days then

What spec is the tubing used for the brace then?

You've got a lot of work to do there still - you need a spot-weld drill and then you can remove all those unnecessary brackets.

Just replacing the current brake fluid with new off-the-shelf cheap fluid from a local motor-factor is your best bet - don't bother with super-fandango fluid as the important thing is (like oil on track cars) that it's changed regularly.

New, clean brake fluid is what you want, as it'll be free of water, which is why old brake fluid boils, as it sucks it up over time.

P*ssing about with spacers is a fool's errand as on track you'll soon find out they're slightly out of balance and give you a confidence-destroying wobble under hard braking. Seen it before and seen people amazed that the wobble goes as soon as they're taken off, allowing the owner to enjoy the car far more.

not sure on the strut brace spec but i know its made of mild steel......yea dh i think im gonna do just that for now , brake fluid off the shelf and some decent engine oil before the track day...... im gonna leave the spacers on for now and see how i get on on the track. and make adjustments as and when......

Where did you get the bar done and welded?

Also where did you get the aluminium done and cut as there are quite a few lads on here that are pretty local and could use the info.

Its going good, keep it up! Any other future plans like removing spare tire well or rwd conversion...?
