id get a reclinable bucket seat anyway, have leater seats in my s15 and they are a disaster for keeping you held in when drifting.

other than that, maybe some coilovers to make the car a bit more solid.

get a 2way diff, if you get a not so aggresive one you wont have any clunking. they will try and kill you on spirited drives though

1.5 way diff if you can find one

thanks guys.i have coils,adjustable rear arms,upper and lower front and rear braces,locking collars and solid mounts on it already.
excuse the ignorance but whats the difference between 1.5 and 2 way?
i never understood it fully.
thanks

Its a myth about welded diffs and tryign to kill you! only in e36s ya really notice them from my experience.

a 2 way diff locks both on acceleration and deceleration. A 1.5 way only locks on acceleration.

Tbh, all you need to start learning (and to get to a bloody good level) is a diff, stiffen and lower the suspension, and a seat.

so which do you think would be best for a still usable road car?
