RRG 2017 was my first effort at anything like this and has definitely sewn a seed. The Maestro Turbo conversion steamed up the hill 5 times and I vowed to try and chase another spot for RRG 2018. I'm currently in the 'running in' period for the latest MG Turbo conversion build but this time a Montego, hopefully a different model of car should be attractive enough to be successful during the booking process. Last years wheels.   The contender, about 90% finished.   I hope it's got more suitable gear ratios than the last one I drove - pretty sure we had a beige or JRG one in pensioner spec one year but variety is the spice of life ;-) |

Same shell.
Semi slick tyres and the BMW flat twin now with; Rotrex supercharging, trick plenum with Tial Q, a set of trick heads with titanium valves (2mm larger inlets), titanium retainers, machined buckets, beryllium valve seats, trick cams and the whole caboodle ported, all running on an Emerald ECU.
Maybe a SADEV sequential box.
More speeeeeeeeeeeed.
