Also custom made anti Tramps. Gearbox is R380. Lots of alterations to suspension mounting points. Handling is very forgiving but will bite if pushed too far. Brakes are superb and never fade or go long. Only downside is that is not good in the wet!

Cheers

Very nice car! Your videos are really an inspiration to those of us who are planning, or working on V8 conversions for our mgbs. I was curious as to what the fastest speed that you have obtained would be. Everyone tells me that the car wont be able to use the power, because it will lift, but I beg to disagree. ;)

Thanks, I have a 140mph speedo and on this track it goes off the scale at the fastest point, but in reality I used a sat nav a couple of years ago which recorded a top speed of 131mph which must be fairly accurate. With the modifications since I must be pulling a genuine 135mph. Car doesnt lift at speed but the steering gets ultra sensitive.

Cheers Mark

Nice video, nice action, nice sound. That's one quick B !

Hiya! Amazing car! Can you talk about some specs except the engine? I have a V8 for trackdays too, but nowhere as fast :-( Like brakes, suspension, gearbox etc...? Would be very helpful thanks

Evos, a Westfield and even a Ferrari in another video. This car is seriously fast with you behind the wheel!

The first time i seen your MG i was 16, filling up at Warminster service station on my moped, and i remember hearing it before seeing it! Since then ive followed you many times, even a couple of times to Combe. The car and the way you drive is just unbelievable, ill never forget RS Combe 09, you were dominating on track all day long!

Keep up the good driving!
