Re: geometry / tyre wear

might be worthwile having a full set up done. get a base set up then you could adjust at will to suit the track. also get the car corner weighted. demon tweeks are good for set up kit, can be a bit pricey but a worht while investment if it saves tyres in the long run.

hey scott, if ur looking for shocks that you adjust between a track and road setting, have a look at spax's psx kit or koni yellows, they are easily adjustable and you don't have to take the wheels of, which with coilovers you do. and also they can be a bit hard for the road. as for buses go for pol...

Re: Light weight doors

has it got all the sound deading and trim on the door? if so get shot of it, also if it has electric windows, that makes alot of difference to the weight compared to wind up windows, the door is going on a track car i guess. so you could fit lightweight plastic windows.
