hmmm . i would suggest doing up the wear and tear and check is there anything wrong with the car first anot luh . sort of repairing or upgrading what is spoilt . after that den slowly decide lo . if its a single cam , maybe check out the brakes , if finishing can change to twin cam / preludes . tyres , rsr595 is good . im using r888 myself . grippy but noisy . check suspensions , if leaking maybe can get a 2nd hand one from the WTS section ? radiator ? bushings ?

den maybe a few months later up the CC !! :D

agree. let the failing/worn parts help you decide what to do. when doing your repairs, you can change up to better aftermarket parts. its also a kind of upgrade, but at a more gentle pace.
