We have got a testing day next week at Combe to make sure all is good and we have also booked a fair few track days.

I now have a spare YB sitting in the garage ready to be finished off, me and Ratty have been concidering mounting it into the Maestro at the end of the year and making it rear wheel drive

What are people thoughts on this

Just like the idea of 350bhp in what is at present a 795kg car, and it driving the right wheels, it would be a lot of work

What you reckon

Go for it or No Way

 

personally no, its fine as it is, 200bhp and lightweight is plenty.

its a cheap track car, as soon as u start doing things like that it become exspensive.

Sell the lump and put a few more horses through the MG engine, u know it can handle 250-300 no problems.

 

I will keeping it as a spare if not

YBs are getting less and less

 

nah, leave it, its a cheap fast fun track car, dont turn it into an expensive time consuming project.

 

leave it as it is

 

Just get out and drive it You don't need power to have fun on track!

 

This is true and i understand about needing the complete package and power isnt everything, look at suspension, brakes, weight e.t.c.

But 350bhp would be a whole different ball game to just over 200bhp

Just a conversation were having at present

 

if you want 350bhp and RWD its a lot easier and cheaper to get a RWD, its not as if you can even use anything from the current car barring the basic shell.

 

if you want a rwd maeastro its pointless starting with one you have developed as FWD, as it will be back to square one.
Just buy an S14 if you want a rwd

 

Village idiot checking in

I know what your saying Chip - but lighting up the rear wheels on a Maestro just has a certain appeal

 

i did suggest a Chevette,

Then Ratty suggested

 

Leave it...sell the YB and put the cash into the handling/power of it instead..

 

Fook me the village idiot has joined inn

 

 

Why dont you just wait and see how you get on this year? Once you get it through a few track days, you might have so much fun you cant be arsed with messing around again.

Personally i would wait and see how the car performs.

 

Enough appeal to put up with the fact you spent a load of time and money on your track car and its slower than an S14with a chip and a set of shocks?
As that is what would happen probably!

 

Yur right and thats what we said, Ratty loves projects though, just enjoys building stuff.



So how about a Talbot Sunbeam

 

 

Ooo Ooo 2 Door track day fun, just add YB, Atlas







I'll get me coat

 

Ratty are you on foooking Class A's Today

Is there something wrong with you

I will help you put the coat on

 

Did someone say power to weight

Be a shame to waste the Maestro engine though if fitted a YB so the O series needs a home
