[quote][i]Originally posted by Ian[/i] He could do the FRP engine mods and it would be the same on power. Either car would be heavier with the full interior in. Would also be a shame to track and FRP properly as that too would involve stripping and alterations. I considered one instead of mine but they are so much more expensive, Steve will have been in a similar situation. I paid £250 for a standard 1.7 and the cheapest FRP at the time was £4500. Cheapest now is just on £4k for an untidy one. Steves 1.7 was already tidy when he got it, not sure how much he paid but I would guess still below even the cheapest FRP which would have needed bodywork to get the standard of his now. I know it's now a track car and therefore bodywork is less important but it still makes a difference to working on the car if everything is rotten and seized. Probably could have got one for the same money as he has in that car, but it wouldn't be at that spec, and his as it stands will be quicker than an FRP of equivalent value. The only other factor is resale which again for track use you would want to protect. At least if he bins it he should be able to salvage most parts on to another car. Bin an FRP and you've lost a chunk of money just because of what it was, and you won't get that back if you ring the arches on to another shell. [/quote]
