 Extreme Veteran Posts: 592   Location: kent | done some to the k series conversion list, moved the bend in the subframe engine mount back a few inches, should look standard once its powdercoated     plan tomorrow is to have the engine half mounted in the subframe, sitting as far back as possible on new mounts | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | I can't tell the difference between oils tbh lol I cant see the point in tf subframes, hydrolastic are just as capable as the springs imo, and its easy to get your ride hight right  It will have some deepdish wellar wheels and some 175 50 13s, hopefully wont have to have any radiators sticking out the front so will need to move the turbo above the gearbox | ||

 Expert Posts: 4458  Location: Jelling, Denmark | this is going to be one insane metro to drive! about 400bhp (isn't it?) to handle about 800kg car. that is about the same power to weight as my triumph daytona with me on it and that is pretty fast Edited by DotMatrix 18/1/2014 10:21 PM | ||

 '88 MG METRO 1300 Posts: 1117  Location: Dudley, Midlands | Oh... I had plans for a tow car!! Doable with a Metro for a lightweight trailer load... but you'd probably get lynched for doing it!?! Bushbury LandRover sold 2 such conversions to Dunstall Park racecourse for moving the starting gates!!  | ||
