Well just ordered neuspeed anti roll bars from VRS in Northampton. 25mm front and 28mm rear bars. With adjustable drop links and bushes. £600. Didn't think it was too bad.
Was looking in to valves. Was going to go for supertech but now after a bit of searching I have seen a farebit of bad news about them. About the steam cracking and in worse case situations the valve head conning off and then rattling around the bore. So now looking into ferrea valves but they only Sean to be in America and can't find any one who imports them

That’s the Supertech iconel valves. I believe the stainless steel ones don’t have that problem. I’d rather bend a valve than snap it off

Let me know which valves you decide. Cheaper by the bulk

It will be +1mm over size. Inlet and exhaust cakes spring kit and titanium retainers. Complete kit. Think it's about 800ish just sorting some one out to do a bit of porting and port matching on the head as well.

Who's gonna do your head work for the new valve seats? I ported and polished a redtop head once. Took a long time!!!

It's like an bottomless pit lol. More I buy more I need lol.
If you have a look o face book I am gonna use a bloke called liam. Search for lc_porting.
He done me a head for my race saxo with his work and a few other bits I had 173 from an 8v 1.6 on 45mm throttle bodies.
Not going to go major on the head just more finess and port matching and just making it perfect

There was on eBay some one who made braces that went under the car too then front and rear strut braces. You could make quite a stiff chassis with the bolt on bit making a good track day car so not having to have a roll cage . I will try to find them and post links
