Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 M3W in Competition - what competative mods?

Engine upgrade kits:



Stage 1 will make it louder
Stage 2 will make it quicker and louder
Stage 3 will make it something like Mark Reeves factory car

How deep are your pockets?

Didn't know they were availlable yet .....keep hearing they're on the way .

My dealer has quoted me fitting costs and while they are a good portion of the parts costs , they are not showstoppers.
I personally would not fit them myself while the car is under warranty - you just never know.
The other imponderable is until the MTWC decide on the modification rules for racing I dont see the point. There is every chance you will spend a lot money to find yourself racing in a class of your own - not much fun. I believe this will be decided at this years MTWC AGM which is in the next month or so.
The guide is the existing classes for 2 and 3 speeders - which roughly are Factory unmodified , Touring and Racing - Racing being anything goes, Touring is basic factory approved add ons. I have simplified but I think the idea is correct ?
I am expecting to see similar for 5 speeders.
The upshot is Mark Reeves/factory racer will be in a new class, while everyone who has competed in 2014 will be equal, which seems fair.
Roll on the AGM ....

£10k !!! For how much bhp ? and then there's no mention of geometry set up or brake improvement ..that seems a hell of a lot of money

For my part, the work on the new engine Started, I make tools to implement the crankshaft bearings and make a carrier oil filter accepting probe oil temperature and pressure over the probe of original oil alert, I have had some time against her last week and so far has not pressed I have more important things to do right now, when the last oil change I the filter mounted on the carrier for the two tw ramp caps lubricating the engine block are removable






the last photo plugs oil circuit need more dremel drill to extract because they are sticking and overtighten

I just hope the 132 cub is finished before the hill climbing rue Lepic Paris be organized the next mayor of Paris.

Interesting stuff - thanks for sharing.

Impressive work!

And it started as a plain block of aluminium. Way beyond my capabilities.
