Pretty much most parts are interchangeable between NA/NB.

From memory the NB's had slightly revised/improved suspension geometry as well

yes, they are wider

If you are in the hunter and interested in doing some hillclimbs, you should join the MG Car Club of Newcastle and come along to some of their hillclimb days at Ringwood Hillclimb 10km north of Raymond Terrace.

In regards to class and door to door, probably best of starting out in 2f and getting use to it first.

In any case, start with upgrading/buying all the safety gear, as crashes happen regardless of what class/discipline you run.

With the NA/NB debate, the NB is probably the better starting point for racing, but NAs are a bit cheaper and imho have more character. :)

Cheers,
Ken.
