Since 2006 she has had many engine rebuilds in the hunt for more power, from 2006 its started with a MG Motorsport fast road/track engine which was around 170bhp and recently in mid 2015 the engine now has 296bhp.

So the next step for the winter rebuild is a new cam to drop the rpm and up the torque, also the crank will have some work and a nice new light flywheel. Hopefully the car will be just as enjoyable. Last season last on we fitted some new gas front shocks made for me by Gaz sized and valved as requested this changed the front end dramatically.

The Alloy Hubs and new discs fitted ready for next season. Wilwood calipers rebuilt, we do have New sets available.
