BRM Track Project
 

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....

thats some serious bhp in such a light weight car! i bet it shifts!!!


what have you done to get 192 bhp??

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.

don't know if i replied to any o yer other threads but my thoughts are - Impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sounds great too in the clips you have posted up:)

whats next in the pipeline for her??

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

very impressive mate i do like the brm's and yours looks a bit of weapon with those performance figures ive heard the standard ones go well so god knows what yours must go like

sorry excuse me ignorance:) whits are vhpd head??

Very High Pressure Displacement?!?! I know, makes nae sense but best i could come up wi after few beers:D

very high performance derivative iirc
