Hi, I used to race a Rilley Elf Turbo around the UK at National Hill Climb events, then moved on to a Cox GTM which also had a Turbo Mini engine and finaly a Nissan Pulsar GTiR that won the class chamonships in the Welsh and Midland Championships.

I am now rebuilding the Elf to return to the Hills in 2016 if all goes to plan.

The Elf will still be 1.3 Turbo but with a difference...will do a build blog when closer to completion.

Some very inetersting builds on this site, will probably pinch some ideas..lol

Cheers

Phil

In that case I would take a couple off to save weight :)

No as I go around left as well as right corners... see pics

After this rebuild it should not be a problem,  I hope !!

What would you class a good power to weight ratio for a race Mini/Elf ? in BHP per ton ?
