Being a rover man yourself...

Are the 600 turbo engine the same as the coupe? been offered one rather cheap so just curious...

the engine is. but the gearbox ratio's differ.

the Ti has slightly taller gears.

i know where to get forged pistons for them because i organised a group buy and had them made to order from wossner.

once fitted and some emerald fuel management and a GT30 turbo, 350+ bhp is quite easily attained.

andy nicholls has got his MG ZR with a T-16 engine up to 800bhp this year!!

Had a few laps in one of these at Snetterton in 2003. Fully prepared and weighing in at not much at all, the car monstered around the track. Seemed to have a very stiff shell, but I suppose that could have been the cage and door bars...........in any event, good move. Nothing like having a cheaper track toy to fling around

still have the G/B so if the 600 engine is any good i might have that... saying that im awaiting a reply to a rebuilt engine (need to know the spec first) :twisted:

if i get a GT30 its going on the spec'C' :lol: maybe the twin scroll from that will fit...
