Hi like the centre caps on the wheels.

A bit of inspiration for your project. It keeps mine alive for when my car goes from the daily driver to the weekend track demon.

Thats another big project you are taking on Thomas.. I'll be very interested to see how you convert the V8 set up to front wheel drive..
Have a read of this http://www.ccracingclub.co.uk/assets...ished-copy.pdf
it will help you understand what you need to do to your car to go circuit racing.. These regs are for Castle Combes own championship but from experience they wont change much from these specs.
Of course you will need to have a RAC compitition licence as well so heres the link to get you on the right track mate.

Good luck

Cheers Ian

Don’t bother sticking the sd1 V8 in Thomas, the diesel will be more powerful!!

Hi Ian, such a project is a huge undertaking and take lots of dosh

A good mate in South Africa changed his MG ZT engine over to a Nissan Turbo. He had to change the gearbox and then the tuning was completed by an F1 racing specialist.......the whole process involved custom made parts so that everything would fit. It took 5 months and the cost was £6000. He lived to see the project completed, sadly he was killed by a hit n run drunk. Forum member: RIP Woodgoat

Sorry for your loss.
Do you have any info/pictures of the ZT. I think i remember reading about it on .org, would be good for more info.
Many Thanks.
