How I miss working on small engines! My KV6 takes up too much room and is a pita to rotate on the stand! One day I'll get stuck in. Looking good so far.

I saw a zs at mallory destroy an m6 and m3 new shape bmw's, now there must have been nearly a 1000hp combined there, and less than 200hp in a well sorted zs destroyed them, the red faced M3 driver hated it, the M6 driver loved it so much he asked to go passenger in it!!!

Track toys aren't cheap, but I'm totally with you in what they give you back in fun, and its always nice to be the 'underdog'!

Yeah that's very true its defo not cheap to be honest I could have done the Evo for more less same price but I wouldn't have been able to compete low level with that and to be honest its just as much fun with the ZR anyway plus good to have something a bit different thing I've only ever been on track with with one MG. Was thinking of going with Mg's on track just to see a few

Thumbs up

For me its not just the monies spent but also the build. To take something back to the chassis then mod and build how you want it, to know every nut and bolt thats gone into it.
And well that moment it fires up for the first time well:
