'03 R1 - fuel injected engine
I picked up a Quaife ATB earlier this year
Protech suspension
Team Dynamics 1.2 wheels in 15", I have a set of Ford 13" pepper pots for the build/sva/iva though.

I have yet to decide whether to go for Wilwood or Hi-Spec brakes, the Hi-spec rear calipers with the handbrake look like a good idea. Tempted by the Race Technology Dash2, particularly if I go for an ECU which it can talk to. Also, the obp reverse floor pedal box looks interesting.

Hadn't really thought about racing it, just building it as a weekend toy and trackday car for now. Still, now you mention it...

Yes biggrin

All motorway or DC execpt for the first and last couple of miles, we stopped three times to check the strap tension etc. The chassis did not move at all, the green straps are 38mm, 2 ton rated, the blue and red ones were only really there for extra peace of mind. The blue strap going through the car was not tight, we just did that to stop the ends from flapping around.

The Signum did 55mpg on the way up and 45mpg on the way back.
