Brian,

thanks for the advice, I hadn\'t managed to find any info on good suspension, so will definately be interested in your Koni rears. I assume Koni can supply fronts as well.

I think I will have a go at stripping some of the interior (a shame as it\'s virtually as new, including the carpets) out of the car this week, as this is obviously a free performance upgrade.

What wheels do you use with the tyres you recommend?

Ifr you\'re stripping the interior it might be worth your while doing this carefully, i.e. not damaging stuff when you remove it. Second hand interior parts and carpet if in good nick can fetch a few bob and could offset some of your upgrade costs. Just a thought  :cheers

Dominic,

I had thought of carefully stripping it, but not too sure about selling....might keep it just in case I want to replace it. I reckon I\'d know after my first track day!

Unfortunately, events have conspired against me in my efforts to have a track car. Other cars and house are consuming too much time and money. If I hold on to the Rex I will be skint, and will have allowed a decent car with tax and MOT to deteriorate in the garage.

Thanks for all yer advice guys, really didn;t want it to come to this but the car is now on ebay (my first ever listing)....
