Another GTT300T 'Top Mount' in progress !

[roland2003]

Hi Guys , we now have another car in now (local customer) having the GTT300T 'topmount ' conversion fitted. We are upping production of some of the components now with the intention that we will be able complete conversions in around 2 weeks soon. We have also had 2 magazines down ...both were very impressed with the conversion. Modern Mini should be out in Feb (I hope) ...and is (I believe) the front cover car. This conversion realy is everything you could ever want /need in a performance Mini, believe me nothing comes close for £6495+vat fitted.

How is the conversion going Roland, what is the donor car for this conversion?

[Richard Crofts]

Its an R53 MCS doner ... In either stock, JCW or GP form as so much gets changed for the turbo conversion it makes little difference to which car you start with.

Very nice - it'd be great to get a close up view if you're ever near Glasgow or I'm ever near Montrose.

All the best,
Andrew.

If he thinks he'll take the title of dirtiest car in Scotland from me, then he should see my car! I've got a two-tone effect going on. Grey to the point of there being no paintwork visible at all on the bottom 6 inches of the doors and bumpers, and Indi Blue on top.

Am kinda holding off on writing a wee story until i've learned how to drive it better.
But, around town etc it's just like standard, on the motorways it sits comfortably at the speed limit.
I was amazed at just how quiet the conversion is, no throaty exhaust noise, but, plenty of induction whoosh
