A good roll bar, safety first

Yes as above. Roll bar, tyres, uprated brake pads, a little lower and a geo setup.

As above, I've done two in my stock Mx5 M2.5 used them to get a feel of what needs doing.

Getting a roll bar, and a bucket seat fitted this week (stock seat are useless!).

I got some Yellow stuff pads and super blue fluid (and braided lines).

TBH at Brands stock brakes were/are fine but I was a bit apprehensive for Snetterton.

Tyre- provided your current ones are safe, they should be fine. No need to go uber grippy.

After that, work to your driving - maximise your stock stuff if its not knackered.

I will be getting some Gaz Golds are some point, although my stock blisteins are ok once you learn to drive with rolling and pitching of the set-up.

Any advice on a roll bar - in an ideal world, a full cage would be nice, and would stiffen the chassis.. but mine's a road car too, and I don't want to be wearing a helmet to pop to the shops..

Tr Lane, Carboning, Hard Dog.

Im getting a custom rear cage fitted from WestwoodBodywrx (near Ashford) this week. It is a bit more chunky that the TR lanes etc, but I have to lost my glass rear window.

I'll try get some pics up when its ready.

And how much does a cage cost then fitting ?
