With the money you saved getting a kit car for track days you could buy a normal car for every day use :pQuote:

+ a tuned car may be safer in a crash if its from a more modern design than a 7. Still a Westfield SEight would be really fun mmmmm Rover V8 *dribbles*
If you don't have space then you convert your kitchen into a garage ;)Quote:

Just be warned though with tinting that in the UK there's a legal limit that even many legitimate suppliers don't appear to be aware of. Most of the people in the UK driving cars with illegally tinted windows aren't chavs but Chelsea mums driving 4x4s with windows tinted to keep it cool inside or hide valuables through ignorance. If the police pull your car over and are feeling particularly unpleasant they can book you if they find your tinted windows don't let in a certain amount of light.
Also its untrue that modifying your suspension etc will mess up your handling but you need to get it done by someone who knows what they're doing. Companies like M-Power, Alpina, AMG and Mugen all had to start somewhere and their successors can do a good job on your car too but it will cost money. Just dropping your shocks or getting lower profile tyres will simply make your wallet a whole lot thinner and your back a lot more painful. Try getting a copy of Evo, they usually cover upgrade packages from the better modifying companies. They might be expensive but then again if you want a real improvement on a car that a company would have spent hundreds of millions honing, it isn't going to be cheap.
That said, the most I've ever done is to install a black grille you can't even see to my MX-5 to stop stones from holing the radiator, I'm a fan of keeping things as they are.
Alternatively, why don't you just get a rare car? That way it'll be individual enough for you to feel unique without having to spend loads of money on mods.
Thanks, how about getting a Jag E-type? or a Honda Accord Euro-R? Thats very rare in here...
