I've had this for 14 years,bought from a friend who'd had it in a barn for 10 years.The car is a 72 MG Midget stripped of all weather gear,but with aeroscreens and roll hoop added.
The engine is 1.3 litres,turbocharged and charge cooled,with Megajolt ignition and NOS.It runs about 200 bhp at 6000 rpm w/out the Nitrous.I broke the original box and axle,(no surprise)so fitted a SCCR type 9 and hybrid english/atlas axle.This sits on leaf springs plus panhard rod and my copy of Cal-trac traction bars.
It's a lot of fun on the road,but really built for the strip,and I'm still learning how to get the best out of it.
I call it the gasser midget,but it's not really a gasser,just modelled on the West Coast modified sports cars of the sixties.
