after my weedy little release bearing chewing through another perfectly good RTS clutch, i am fitting a bigger flywheel, rover coupe turbo clutch assembly and gearbox, re-making my front subrame with the tie rod points mounted rearwards and all rose jointed to try eliminate frame flex and stop the nose from twisting up under hard acceleration. also converting to mgf front uprights to lower the scrub radius to improve road manners, and get modern wheelbearings, bigger brakes, larger CV joints etc to accomodate more power should i figure out how to get more out this setup :)

I started my winter work last week.
Engine is out
Need to strip and sell
Then prep the shell for selling and get rid.
Then I have the remainder of the winter to build a turboed locost/robin hood type toy

No just curious incase you had stumbled across a tame suzuki officianardo?

Its quite difficult to find tuners/specialists that (really) know much about the suzuki lumps

2003 with the 4.6, and it's getting a new block because the liners are moving up and down, giving a 'failed big-end' sound... Hard to believe, but common as fook on the 2003 / 2004 rover v8 engines.*surprised*
