I think that really is good advice - especially if you have any intention of "high spirited" street driving. One theory on budget trimming is to forego the items that can be added without replacing an existing part. Meaning, hold off on the top and side curtains and use that money to pay for the better brake system now, instead of having to buy a second set of calipers later (and then selling the old crap on ebay). You can always buy stuff like a top and side curtains later -- and you might find you never even buy them because you don't need them. I don't think Chas ever bothered to get them during the 20+ years he had his ERA.
