BRM Track Project

[adam]

Well I posted a couple of WIP shots quite a while ago on this forum and I'm sure a lot of you have seen the many threads dotted about the various MG-Rover interweb forums, but for those that haven't here are some snaps of the finished (when I say finished, that's a lie as she never will be) article....

She certainly does go well.

Still using the 1.8k and had to make some sacrifices to keep her road legal but the rough spec is....

- blanked vvc
- ported head, 4 angle valve seats, tapered valve guides, etc
- Piper 285h cams
- Steel crank
- Arrow rods
- Omega pistons
- Jenvey TB's
- Carbon modified Elise airbox
- Emerald ecu
- Janspeed manifold, sports cat, etc

Then there are some rather drastic suspension changes, she's on Gaz GGA Gold coilovers with custom suspension turrets to allow up to 6deg of camber.

A lot more to her than that, but that's a very brief summary :)

I like what you have done there, an interesting build spec. I would imagine that to be an extremely competent track tool. Nice to see a BRM still active on track.

It handles itself very well indeed. Next track day tomorrow so will see how the latest improvements have affected it.

Cheers. Next up is eventually a splitter, diffuser and underbody sheeting. Then more engine work as time permits, have a VHPD head and larger TB's already to unleash a few extra ponies. :D
