Hey guys.
Thought this might be a useful forum for parts and tuning tips.
Racing in the Drayton Manor Park MG Metro Cup for Media Logic Ltd, in the Ex Tiff Needell/Top Gear Red and Black metro.

Couldn't get over the power you can squeeze out of these little, innocent looking engines when I 1st started tuning and racing earlier this year.
May also have some requests for parts.....such as an STR-930 CAM if anyone's planning on selling or swapping for other parts?

Cheers Guys

We have to stay within the regs with regards modifying (we're only in Class A at the moment. We're running 2 N/A 1275 engines both putting out more than 85bhp at the engine, (I'd like to say over 90bhp but I haven't got the dyno sheet from Peter Burgess sat next to me and I'd rather not be shot down when asked to prove it if it's lower). I Love tinkering with these engines, possibly more so than my Mx5's engine.
