Fook me that is brilliant!!!!!!! I love examples such as this, to me it has a million times more mechanical engineering inginuity than 99% of manufactured cars that are simply a sausage machine. Years ago (before RGB's were that commonplace) I remember seeing an original mini with the back seats and boot stripped out, a chain driven fixed axle in place with a beast of a honda motorbike engine giving the mini some right beans per ton, simple and effective fun without breaking the bank.
I wish I had the time, money, garage, tools and skill to attempt a project myself... Can anyone reccomend a mechanics course in the East Midlands????
Once again, well done in getting it on the road
For those that were'nt at the RS246 Rolling Road day earlier in the year, a guy had spent £25k at MRC tuning his RS4 engine to 550bhp... you never know esthi, you may just be able to get 0-100 time sub-6 secs!!!
