Weight Loss versus BHP increases
wrong profile tyre = decreased gearing and slower acceleration heavy cast alloys = slower performance all round (stock alloys are quite light - approx 17lbs)

First track day!
you can replace the gearsick bushes and put a short shifter on, makes a big difference. Sounds like you had a good day. Did you do the full day or the 20min sessions.

Sump upgrades---What have members on here done?
As Legarth says, I have the SZ sump and I'm happy with it. Will let you know how I stands up to track work next year. I've also done the PCV relocation and added oil return lines from the heads back to the sump to prevent oil pooling in the heads at high rpms.

Braking capabilitys - Zed Vs Merc Vito - A Warning for all!
what were the abs vs non abs times like?
-
Braking capabilitys - Zed Vs Merc Vito - A Warning for all!
a lot is down to pads as well as old calipers. Both of my Zeds had 'race' brake pads when I got them which were shocking! Hardly slowed you down at all because they never got up to temperature under normal driving. Switched to decent pads and a world of difference.

hold your horses. That's a lot of money on new Standard stuff that could be better spent elsewhere. You should also note Nick's comment on the ABS system...
