hi turbo nuts, ive been looking at your site turbo phil and its spured me on to find a metro turbo unit and a mini so i can participate in the jersey hill climbs.
My question is how many metro turbo cars were made, i have no idea how rare they are but i would like to find one early next year and rip all neccesery parts out of it.
cheers all - lewis :grin:
the metro turbo

I do like that mini you have as an Avatar. I see that was turbocharged in its day.
What class are you planning on entering? I assume hillclimbing in Jersy is held under MSA regulations. I run a 998turbo in the upto 1400 modprod class.
As for Metro Turbo availibility, I have no idea but most of the componet parts are reasonably easy to get hold of. In any case if you want decent power you can chuck a load of the metro stuff away to start off with and it's just as easy to build a new engine rather than use a metro block etc.
www.turbominis.co.uk is as good a place as any to place a wanted ad, and stuff pops up on ebay too.
Hope this helps
