Well after a few years hill climbing a Frog 172 i decided to sell and buy a metro gti hillclimb car

the spec is
-1.4 K Series Tuned Engine Piper Cams, Piper Verniers, Reworked Head, Jenvey Throttle bodies with fibre trumpets. Full Rebuild 3 hillclimb meetings ago by Tipton Garage who are very well known for motorsport in the southwest.
-Custom Side exit exhaust which was produced for optimum length.
-Brand New Emerald K6 ECU with data cable and CD included and set up on Tiptons rolling Road.
-MG ZR R65 Gearbox.
-Hydrogas Suspension separated into singles so each corner is stand alone.
-Gaz adjustable Shocks all round.
-Green Stuff pads on front, Standard Shoes in rear.

-Custom Carbon Dash with carbon Fibre Digital Display for Revs and Shift Light, all fuses, cut off switch, fan, windscreen wiper, fuel pump, ignition switch, starter button and Water Temp Gauge mounted on the angle to face driver. We have also mounted a ECU MAP switch aswell which allows you to switch between 2 Engine MAPS if desired.
p), Piper Cams, Piper Verniers, Reworked Head, Jenvey Throttle bodies with fibre trumpets. Full Rebuild 3 hillclimb meetings ago by Tipton Garage who are very well known for motorsport in the southwest.

Running 145bhp weighing approx 670kg

A few little things id like to do is change the suspension to a dry setup and change the cams to a set of race cams, any other ideas and advice is welcome

Just what I've been quoted yet to weigh it myself it has been excessively lightened everywhere soon as it's the new season I'll weigh it,going over it anything not needed is gone, doors cut out so it's just the outer skin and frame,suffrage and rear beam lightened ect
