Given the current idea and build rules for formula Zuk .. What would you build up ??
SPOA or SPUA
Gear Choice
Tyre Size
Tyre Type
Engine mods (remembering you have to stick to a 1.3)
Hard top or soft
And most importantly .. who would you get to build a cage ???

Hmm, I guess if i was thinking about one of these cars i would be looking to do most stuff on the cheap.
Starting Car - Widetrack 1.3L - soft top - lasts longer, much lighter.
Suspension Changes - Nada
Driveline Changes - rockhopper 3, welded rear diff
Lift - Nada
Tyres - 33x14 Bogger
Interior Changes - completely stripped passenger area - one seat only. Dash kept for legality / roadworthy appearance (demisters, instrument panel etc).
Exterior Changes - remove everything non-essential
Cage - naturally i'd build it myself
Seriously though - if there were enough people wanting them you could perhaps organise an import from the states - i.e. like a Dave's Sport Cage or something? I don't really know how good they are though

mine would be much like greg's list (i already own the same base vehicle) differences will be:
- shock towers, longer shocks, redrilled stock leafs with a thinner pack, extended brake lines
- different tyres
- chopped sills
- dovetailed rear
- diy cage

If I do build one, and it is a big if, as I already have a perfectly good zook that is reg, eng cert, insured,
I wouldn't tell you pack of dirt bags, I'd let you find out on the track
