197 Arriving tomorrow - Convert to Track Day Vehicle

I have been lurking here for a good few weeks now. I will be purchasing and collecting my RS197 in Red tomorrow and I can't wait.

This will be 90% Track day and 10% Road vehicle

I will be running it standard whilst I collect the parts I need.

Strip out the full interior and sell (Carpets, door cards, seats, belts, Airbags and steering wheel)
First thing will be a full 6 point Safety Devices Roll cage from Mark Fish Motorsport, then fitting
Install 2 x Bimarco Grips
Install 2 x Harness' (Not Sure which yet)
Remove and flock dashboard (Any removal details on here?)
Install Plumbed in fire Extinguisher kit

Any advice will be appreciated as I am sure that a few on here would have done this already

Welcome buddy :smile:

plans sound great!

If your going down that route, have you thought of just buying the Michelin Cup series kit? Includes the seats, roll cage, extinguisher and a few other parts.
 
You mean the kit through Monster Sport Europe? If so I did look at that but its £5K and then fit it all myself.

Plus I don't want to mess with the suspension as yet :001_unsure:
