Hi Andy. Welcome to Ten Tenths.

Your Pug is perfect for trackdays, light and fast.

Have a look at the General Trackday Guide thread, it has details of how to get started.

What spec is it at?

It is in just bought stage - 1st thing is to strip any weight and reduce the ride height....have a go at a few track days then work on cage, 45 jets on the carb, good tune and some 14"/15" magnesium (sp?) wheels........

I am trying to keep initial costs down as i may not get on with the idea of track days....

I've got a MG Maestro, waiting for me to pass my driving test before I can prep it for the track. And I've got a Metro Gti on the way.
