A no brainer this, well sort of! I needed another car like I needed a hole in the head BUT it was cheap and the yellow car wanted a mate!!





looks innocent enough doesn't it? ...........................

 

What sort of cost is in something like that Martin?? I'm not asking the price you paid, but the going rate for a decent spec, decent condition Raudi?? They must be pretty decent around the track, IIRC the ZS ws quite highly praised for its handling as standard.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Its not for sale at the mo but if it were I would site it at 8.5K, its a good spec car.

 

is that a cupra motor ?

 

And some

 

bet thats a great mod as the 45 is a cracking chassis

 

Love that!! Would look better without the stripes, but on the whole I like it. What kinda' power is it?

Benni.

 

loose the green mart ,

then go upset a few unsspectiing folk lol !!

beef

 

Looks good

 

That is fugly! But bet it goes well

 

We have such a laugh on track with the yellow one!

and with the highly rated handling on the 45... Stu might be able to get around a whole lap without going grasscutting!

let the Raudi racing commence!!!!!

Green will be coming off...

but I bet there will be some random spots of yellow appearing all over it soon

THANKS MARTOOOOON! very very excited!

 

This isnt another budget track toy for you is it Lee?

Mike

 

PMSL at that, something i defienatly want to witness

 

Looks a good bit of fun that martin was it a customers car that you built & he lost intrest ?

 

No, he decided to sell because he's having a hard time financially. His trade has slowed right down.

Here's some vids of him using it...

Should be awesome fun out at the same time as the yellow one, evenly matched racing with your mates is the best fun you can have on a trackday, much more fun than just blasting around quicker than everyone else in a far superior car which is what seems to be most folks aim when building a trackday car

 

Love it ! A true sleeper but the stripes need to go

 

WOW that MG goes very well.

 

Surprising huh? It does have 301hp and 340ft/lb torque, it needs better front brakes (willwood 4 pots now) but other than that its a very sorted car.

I prefer these sort of cars to my Escort Tbh!!

 

I can see the appeal, but would be nice to see the escort out on track used properly in anger too, do you have any plans for outings with it this year on track?

 

I dont suppose the MG would stand much chance around the track with the likes of your Escos?

Before i purchased the 106 i built a 300bhp nova with quaife sc box, proper suspension ect that was fun and upset alot of folk, but it was on its limit with grip with that power, i suppose its different kinds of fun from fwd to big power 4x4.

 

Can't beat a 20V Turbo, Great engines

 

Ive always liked these shape rovers, similar to my mb6 civic, yours looks great in my opinion , but id remove the stripes if it was mine, apart from that

 

What's bin done to make it that power martin ?

 

Cracking motors these - I'm looking at the ZS Diesel (facelift) with the 180 kit on it as a prospective purchase in June

 

Is it for you Lee

 

offered to buy it! he won't let me!

Will be awesome awesome awesome fun racing the two of them!

 

Why not get one built

 

Yes.... thats just what I need... another car

 

Am I the only person to think its Fugly then!

 

why not

I've got loads!!!!!!!!

 

Its a rover 45, its never going to be pretty, they actually handle quite well though even in standard form though believe it or not, so a well modified example should be fantastic on track.

 

I apprciate all of that Chip, I really do........





Its still fookin ugly!

 

I'd love the same thing done to a proper Rover 45 in Grandad spec Royal Blue, would be an awesome sleeper.

 

You have soooooooooooooooooooo missed the point!

The fact that it looks shit is PART of the fun!

 

what wheels are those by the way?

 

I'll get me coat!

 

Team dynamics pro race 1.2

very light and very cheap. Awesome track wheel.

 

awesome how much does a drive in drive out conversion cost martin? does it use std 20v ecu or is it on pectel or such like?

i take it uses rover gearbox and shafts just with an adapter plate?

awesome awesome cars both this and the yellow peril

 

no way as if he got rid of this car i used be a member on xpower forums and watched the progress of this car for ages iirc hes beat quite a few meant to be performance cars with this
