Nothing essential as far as upgrades go, the car comes as a very high spec.

You'll just want some different springs for tuning the handling. Outdoors we run 2.7 most of the time. Indoors 2.5 and 2.5-2.8 progressive are popular.

Cheers Dale.

Alot of people have the alloy steering arms. Do these make a difference or are they there for the tart factor

They give a bit more steering lock, and make the car a bit more responsive, which can be useful outdoors. I ran them this year, but just used a standard car for the past 3 years and got on fine.

Indoors there's not much benefit, as most of the time I run less than 100% lock and want to calm the car down. Sometimes you'll even see the factory guys running plastic steering to calm the car down.

Dale,

I'm going to be doing the CWIC xray series. They use grey medium grip. My club is on high grip carpet. I dont suppose you can suggest what springs and oils to get please.

Cheers
