Owned this one for nearly 10 years, my first car and I've still got it Current spec is:

Cooper S rods on offset ground, cross-drilled crank, giving 1440cc
11.5:1 compression ratio
Modified head, std valves
PWM734 fast road cam
LCB extractor and 1 3/4" exhaust system, with single MGB silencer
1.5:1 roller tip rockers
45DCOE Weber (for competition use) on water heated inlet manfiold

Suspension
Turbo hydragas units all round (having some adjustable ones modified, but these will do in the meantime)
Turbo front shocks
Turbo rear ARB
Individualised rear
Polybushes all round
and all new fulcrums all round

Turbo cross spoke wheels with 175/50 VR13 Bridgestones

Exterior has had bumpers and mirrors colour coded, after market rub strip and pinstriping added by previous owner. Interior is std except black-leather trimmed wheel and Kenwood single CD head unit (ex MG ZR)

Wow! What sort of bhp are you getting with all these mods?

Not 100% sure as it's not been on the roller's for a while, but round 100bhp with the weber, down to about 95 with the SU. Though the Weber needs jetting properly, it sure flys with it on. But bhp isn't what I've aimed for, torque is, and in it's current tune has significantly more torque than either a std Turbo or GTi. It's great fun to drive

i want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me toooooooooooooooooo
