That rad set up is amazing.

One of those new Clio RS' in Red.

To round this thread off: This was the car when I bought it, all ratty with a 200bhp K series in it. Then after many thousands of pounds and many hundreds of hours, it came to this. 300bhp, skinny tyres, new body and a whole lot of fun. Now I just got this update from its new owner...

My mates died due to its wiring loom. He paid £7995 for it, it was black just like yours. In the year he had it he spent £4200 at Alfa specialists. New engine loom, full sensor kit, ECU etc etc. Traded it in for £4500 still not working. I spent hours working on that thing! Still I'd have...

As much as I love these. My friends was such and utter lemon I can’t bring my self to buy one!

My Chairman just bought the original MG Show car. It’s odd, but good at the same time.

Video of me driving 2 up with a mate.

Build a 2.5 for it. Should get away with a stock bottom end, mild cams and throttle bodies.

Sit rep: Car survived just fine. Only taken 0.8mm off the PS4’s in 84 laps!! It needs 100bhp more to be interesting, at the moment even with road tyres, it’s break, turn, full throttle, turn more, go round corner with no drama. There’s no fun in that! M1166 pads just never stop giving...

1:29.1 now. Has a bit more in it but getting a clear run is impossible.

It’s f**king awesome. So so so slow but awesome at maintaining corner speed. 1:32 on Donny National with road tyres and 150bhp isn’t to be sniffed at! I think, after using it now, it needs a 2.5 conversion with around 230bhp and it’ll be perfect.

Getting ready for Donnington tomorrow

New brakes all round now and some new PS4’s fitted. Donnington on Saturday, it’s going to take an age to get around with 150bhp....

Dash hole. Ha.

No real benefit with power. Just gets you around packaging issues.

Considering it was the cheapest in the UK, it scrubs up ok! Suspension and manifold and brakes are on.

@JB21 I had the GY's on for 41k(!!!) on my 335d. Thats how long they lasted. Lovely tyres and the quietest I've ever used. For quicker driving the PS4 is ahead though. I've just ordered some for the MX5. If you are quick, blackcircles.com have 10% all Mitchelin tyres for the next 9 hours...

Billies, brembo discs, 1166 pads and a new calliper on.

Can I have your recaros please?

A walk around video wouldn’t have shown those though?!

It'll do 300 without meth. Once. I'll be happy with 280 with just water tbh.

Little pulley is here.... tick tick bang

New shiney bit! Racing beat manifold. Good bit of kit for £450. Quote for a custom on to the same specs was £1000.

The M62 is good enough to send Rodney out of the block. It'll do for me. I could hang £3k worth of TVS off the side, get someone to fab me up an intake manifold for another 1k, and spend hours stratching my head on where the hell the belt would go and still bend the rods with slightly colder...

PM me how muchio?

Why it is, makes the power I want and delivers it why better than a Rotrex?

Its more the limitations with the current set up, doing it in stages just isn't cost effective. These 2.0 units can happily take nearly 1 bar before going bang, so thats what I'm going to feed it. Then I have to deal with the fact 1 bar out of an M62 on a 2.0 will give me an outlet temp of...

Well that’s just dull...

Just ordered a tiny pulley for the supercharger. Its going to be operating right at the limit of its operational window... Need to come up with a good heat management technique. May go down the water injection route so I can actually use it on track....
