hi everyone

my name is sean, im 16 and live in australia.. im seriously thinking of turbocharging my race car and possibly my road car if i can, im looking foward to meeting everyone and getting some useful info on here.. oh well here they are..

race car:

1963 morris 850 sports sedan.. chopped to bits with no boot floor.. removable front.. beam rear subframe.. adjustable suspension all round.. metro 1275cc motor with a stage three head extractors and a 40mm weber (thats all for the moment), 13x7 performance superlites with dunlop d98j race tyres. goes nicely for the power it has.. but as i said, id like to turbo it for a little more straight line power. can i do this with the current motor i have just by using an mg metro turbo unit and putting a decompression plate on as well as a few other little mods.. ive got a rollmaster double timing chain and a cam for it but i dont know what else is involved, i dont need 150 hp i just want something fun to drive, as well as being nice and reliable as i will be racing a porsche next year and thats the money pit for me *tongue* so any help on that matter would be great.







my road mini (or it will be when i get my licence):

1962 morris 850.. has a standard 1100cc engine (i have a freshly rebuilt 998 that seems to keep asking me to turbo it), hi los, cooper s brakes, wood and picket flares, bwa 6x10" wheels with bridgestone tyres custom dash with late model rover gauges with custom faces, pioneer head unit with two sony 4 inch speakers up front and two kenwood 6x9's under the back seat. ive been building this car since i was 12 from an old crapper and would never get rid of it.. i love it *tongue*







i dont have a pic of the interior for some reason il put one up later.

but there you go these are my two.. hope you like them.. i do *tongue*
