That's what I thought. A lot of these specialists don't want new drivers of performance cars.

A year will fly past just wait till next year for any mods. Gives you chance to save up for a proper exhaust
I have 1600 quid to spend on exhaust now haha. Well. I already had 800-1200 budgeted out for a full system.

I've got basically 1600 quid spare now. Well guess I can just use it to make more money!

Not sure mate. Have always wanted to do it myself but never had the time.

Check these out maybe?

I'm sure someone on here has done some advanced driving coarse.
Any training is better than none I guess.
Plus you could take the Mustang and get to know a bit better

Very true but I need to disclose to insurance if I plan to take the mustang on a track day track racing or track course.

Any guys reading this with advanced driving qualifications that could recommend some for me. Please.

If I can get a licence or something brings the insurance down from doing it drop me a pm and we'll talk about it. Thank you for the offer :)

Insurance as standard is 650-800ish. Insurance with wrap 1400-6kish
Here's what I don't get, and I am honestly not having a go, but you're 21 and doing well for yourself. Your insurance is only going to go up by around 800 by doing the wrap you originally wanted (I was originally under the impression that ÂŁ3k quotes were all you were getting) so why not just suck it up and go for it? Its only another ÂŁ70/month.
Smaller wrapped areas and an exhaust are going to impact your premium to an extent anyway.

You'd need to do an advanced driving course (or similar) to get any insurance benefit. I don't know of any trackday activity that results in a reduction - but will do wonders for your ability to avoid sticking the car through a hedge ;)

Insurance will go up 800. The 3k original quote was for a gt. The 2.3l has always been sub 1k for me.

I'm not complaining regarding the car and I know I'm blessed to be in my position. But I'm annoyed at insurance wanting huge payouts to cover it haha.

Will take you up on that one! Mind PMing and we can sort it out?

To be fair I've got a shit load of track experience. Just none with a rear wheel drive car. Or not one over 300 brake at least.

No you don't.

You won't be covered whether you tell them or not. You'd have to purchase specific trackday insurance.
