Wow - where do you guys get the money to do such fantastic work on a maestro. Detail is spot on as usual - I can remember the first build thread on triple-m. Only wish is a turbo engine fitted - but I suspect the 1600 lump will be going back in? Very interesting indeed - looking forward to the rest of the build on here.

Another awesome motor sport maestro, love the pedal box. Hydraulic clutch,is it possible to fit a slave cylinder to the pg1or the golf box?
Has anyone used a 1275 turbo for Motorsport in a. maestro or does the rule still apply that places the car in the two litre class with this?

Many versions of the PG1 have a hydraulic clutch fitted. All PG1 equipped 400/45/zs/600/freelanders had a hydraulic setup I believewww.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

It will have a hydraulic clutch and yes, cable change but its not going to have a PG1 or VW 020.
The engine I have chosen has never been put into a maestro before. It will have around 230-250hp and no turbo = no lag. The box is a 6 speed with a Kaaz plate diff and extremely low final drive.
All will be revealed
Cant wait

Truly outstanding. I knew this would be good, having seen the standard of Ross's original blue rally Maestro.
My bet is that the engine will turn out to be a Honda VTEC.
This car will be a giantkiller on rallies -and embarass modern cars as a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Definitely one for magazine features in the future
