    Hello all, I've been a Copen owner for a couple of years now and I've definitely not looked back! I've entered it into 5 hillclimbs already and a track day in March! So was getting the car ready and realised that parts for these are super tough to get! So I am lucky that nothing too crazy has gone wrong with mine yet. Having said that I am going to try to sort out the gear linkage as it has gotten a little worse since I've used it for exuberant driving up a twisty hill! And replace the gearbox oil as well...or put some in if it's no longer there!

    After getting all the suspension tidied up my plan is to look into engine upgrades and see what more powerful cars can be embarassed by it. At the moment the car does well but midfield in class and that is basically flat out. I'd rather have a little more power so I don't feel so eager to change gear so quicky which this gearbox may not respond well to...fingers crossed I have not damaged it...
