Wouldn't bother with the hydratrack or the Close ratio gearbox....... Hydratrack might be useful on a Cerbie but can't see any benefit on a small car like the Tamora. I think the Green chameleon paint looks very nice, but Lambo Orion pearl yellow is nicer either way it's £2000 extra for chameleon paint, which I saved by buying the demo!!!

I aint an expert but I think it does what the standard limited slip diff does only quicker/more efficiently using fluid dynamics rather than friction plates. And i think its a waste of money with the speed 6 - the torque piles up much more progressively and controllably than the V8's. Or am i talking complete sh*t?

I was thinking of making my diff a hydra track by topping it up with water instead of oil...

2 grand (EXTRA!) for the chameleon paint is silly. The retail price of the paint is 666 pounds per litre. If you are good you can paint the whole car in less than 2 litres. I like the Chromaflair based paints (chameleon, harlequin, reflex etc) as they are dead easy to apply (easier than metallic or pearl) and are much, much better to blow-in later after a scratch/stone-chip or two. Don't be put off by thinking these colours are tricky.
