When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Dickie,
Are you allowed Optronic?
As I read the regs, the ignition system had to be entirely within the dizzy.
Optronic system has an external box.

Yeah, it's allowed. The triggering has to be in the dizzy, and the bit outside can't be programmable (like the Lumenition performance
kit).

I'm here too. Have been doing little bits on the car all winter but my carefully crafted plan went out the window when it took nearly 4 months
to get my roll cage bits off the Caged people. Now i've got a mild panic trying to get it welded & fitted in time whilst doing the various
other bits i had to put off until it was in place.
Bugger.
My list of winter upgrades obviously isn't as lengthy as Dickie's. Apart from sorting my brakes it's pretty much all to do with
lowering my centre of gravity and polar moment of intertia. I did intend to make the car look less like a scrap heap too, but that's not going
to happen now!
