Tourings are fine for track days. i did Silverstone south circuit, and it was fine. no isues. H&R bars and I was thrrowing it into corners with no abandon (except my steering would lock up gong left) Else, wicked car to track!!!

So would it be worth my while trying to sell my shell then? its reall clean, no rust etc. Shame to weigh it in, even if i get less money for it, id rather see it live on lol

Depends. How much, what do you get with it, etc etc etc.

Some people mght want it, but only if they have an uprated engine. They are a bit heavier, but they understeer less than a saloon.
