Warranty is up May next year, TBH mines not far off that spec I just need to remove the aircon and the rear seats and fit a cage, oh and AP brakes.

I'd have to get coilovers for the rear as when you strip the VXR out it looses a hell of lot of weight and sits up a lot.

Out of all of that I'd keep it the same as it is now and just fit AP 4 pots but they are £1500, absolute rip off.

APs cost a ridiculous fortune to maintain

Yeah, but remember the car isn't use everyday.

It's done 6k in a year and that's two 1,000 mile 'Ring trips.

I think there is an issue with getting replacement discs for those brakes.

they would beable to supply new discs, looks like you can just replace the discs and keep the bells - meaning wouldnt be that expensive - well in theory

Just keep everything

Although that cage they have in the jamsport RS is good. Its hardly noticable and goes round everything
