The Ro 80 has an Essex V4 conversion which is a shame. I am going to put it back on the road as is and see what can be done to get more power from the engine.
From the inquiries I have made converting the car would cost nearly as much as what the best rotary engines examples sell for.

When you said 'Monaro', I thought you meant....


Didn't realise just how out of touch with modern cars I am.

Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').

It's a Monaro VXR - really a Holden Special Vehicles GTO with a Vauxhall badge. But it shares a lot of components with the Opel/Vauxhall Omega.

The fastest way from one petrol station to the next!
400bhp and top speed about 170mph (272kph).
It's going to be running on LPG as soon as I've got the money to do it.

That would be fine Jason, it's in May isn't it?
Would be nice to get a couple more local Audis involved. I know of a rally replica in Bridgwater and an early car with quad headlamps and rare Kamei body kit or perhaps a UR Turbo would be nice.Will see what i can do.Feel free to drop me any details of the show.

Steve - Can you bring the Audi to Shepton next year? I'm on a mission to get more marques at the show as its getting a bit stale.

If you're a member of the owners club you could always organise a club stand?

You're not far off, but you need the '[/IMG]' bit at the end also.
