lol the famous 1.2 corsa. even the 1.1 rover 200 produces more power...75bhp infact. VTR's are ok as a car. Quite nippy but not very refined.

Edit: And just think...with your VTR you can wipe the floor with the bottom-of-the-range Scooby Impretza

Lol well as if i'd be stupid enough to leave the PG1 gearbox in the car. The engine is a BMW/MG engine. Tuned up will produce a nice 250bhp with over 300lb/ft. Add NOS and water injection and you have 300bhp with over 400lb/ft

Edit: Actually... i would leave the PG1 box in the car. Jus need to have it uprated.

You don't like BMWs, so would prefer to drive a Rover....?
Are you actually going to try and put a longitudinal engine into a Rover 200?

Hell im not doing anything! im just the man with the money and the dream!

RSM will be doing the conversion. As it allready sits in the MG ZT/Rover 75 there souldnt be too many problems. After all RSM dropped a 2.5V6 engine into a 200
