What is the Best Fix Ever
Discussion
That's an easy one. The trip to Jools for a decat and remap. I went up there with a farty sounding fast-ish cerb with wonky sports tails, and picked up a fire-breathing, awesome sounding (full SP exhaust with linked decat), hilariously rapid supercar that I've been in awe of ever since.
Since others have already mentioned Joolz, I'm going to go for the RaceProved Clutch Slave
Fitted five years ago and has worked perfectly since with no maintenance other than flushing the fluid regularly
Contrast that with the original slave with seals that kept failing, and being of variable quality such that the gearchange was quite unpleasant, and there was always the fear that they would start leaking again
Expensive but well worth it

Replacing the Silver Key with a latching push button
Takes a bit of eBay surfing to find a button to fit, and 15 minutes to install, but you can then visually and mentally tell when the car should start or not - would recommend doing it in a flash!

Mine controls power to a USB lead I use for my Garmin

Hum, where to start. Probably this as jools remapped my car for the torque curve to come in earlier, totally transforming the way the car drives, its easy to drive around at 2k revs, but still flies as you go over 3k. Combined with the ACT manifolds and exhaust systemHonourable mention
CL Brake pads - transformed the stopping.
Swapping out the worn shocks for Nitrons when I got the car. To be fair the previous owner told me he'd swapped them with his new cerbera.
Adding a small subwoofer in the helmet holder to add some bass.
Decatting to take away the heat from the cabin and gearbox/clutch
Finding Neil Garner to do all the work on my car right from the start
Trouble is I've done (or paid to be done) so much on my car it's nearly triggers broom.

That’s interesting, was the replacement a like for like item or something better 
All I had to do was swap with the brake bias valve used in earlier models, for some reason that spec was changed for later cars. The car immediately felt more planted under braking, and more controlled. The easy way to tell that it was not my imagination was that on track the rear wheels (and tyres) now became as hot as the fronts, and the rear pads lasted half as long.ukkid35 said:

Yeah cool. proof exact. Interestingly my standard rear brakes on the Chim seem to do more work than they used to, maybe it’s that I probably brake harder As I’m more confident in the set up.
Great thread
