I think by the time you have spent that much on a 180bhp Rover you might as well go Honda powered.. I just cant bring myself to do it. The K suits it so well. The Honda lump is....all wrong for the car. I don't know, a highly strung Rover isnt far away from a 9k rpm 4pot ......and you may not like my new update lol Grey one is going to be for sale once I tidy it up a little bit.

As briefly touched on, the grey one is heading for pastures new as has been replaced by the red one. The difference between the two is the engine; Grey has a 160bhp rover engine, 750kg, 215bhp/t Red one has a 240bhp K20a2 Honda Type R engine, 750kg, 320bhp/t Nice noticeable difference. Gave it a wash - its not actually pink but my phone struggles with the colour :/ Money shot: first mod: Replace the tiny blocked up air filter with a proper 230mm K&N with 4" Neck / pipe Made a nice difference to the sound getting a proper induction/itb sound at 6krpm to 8.5krpm Very happy with it so far just need to resolve the rich running and the questionable coolant plumbing.

Those billet engine mounts on the Honda conversion are far too gorgeous to be covered up.

I really like these, never drove one but I can imagine they are just like a road legal go-kart. I bet the Honda conversion makes them a completely different car.
