I'd tend to agree, but these days the Rover Metro or 100 is a rare sight and when you do see one, more often than not it has at least a Rover K 1.8 VVC stuck in it. Even with just 160hp these cars are effective. I think 300hp would be the sweet spot between effective and mental (like this car). But yeah, only people into modifying cars will think like the above... everyone else will just see a Metro or for younger folk they might just see a tiny old car.

It's fantastic. If it was mine, I'd replace that Type R badge with a 1.1S badge. But otherwise, it's perfect.

[@MassimoBacilieri]

Years ago I had a 114 GTi (the name the car was distributed in Italy during '90s) and with its 103 HP was simply undriveable. I liked it, it was very funny, but deathly. Pratically no traction, you could experience wheelspin in 3rd speed. Brakes were a joke, the autoventilated discs in the front coupled with the small drums in the rear produced a very unbalanced braking. Coped with the satanic hydragas, there were no hope to brake straight, expecially on irregular surface. When dry, you felt to drive like on the wet. On the wet, you felt on soap, or worst. No traction, no braking, no grip at all. Now you have fitted such monster with 500 (five hundreds?!) HP?!?! I think it's less dangerous a Jigsaw Killer's trap!

[@gmck]

My Mum had one of those, the GTa version with about 90 hp? Hilarious car. Horrendous understeer on power, snap oversteer if you backed off, you had to commit to a corner and hold your nerve. She got rid of it when the crash test results came out.

[@giogio4833]

Never as bad as the mini de tomaso that I had when I lived there

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

Scariest car I've ever been in was an old Escort with a Cosworth V8 swap and RWD conversion. Thought I was going to die. He must have used solid engine mounts too because the whole thing vibrated with the revs.

[@tomhill2497]

Lol wtf are you on about? I own a metro and its brilliant in every way

[@TheBlaert]

Some of the 1.4 MPi's were ridiculously quick for some reason. I've owned 4 and 2 of them were noticably faster than the other 2. I always wondered was there a difference in cams or ECU's or something. But yeah for a standard 1.4 they went like shit off a shovel

[@christopherbailey6428]

My friends k reg gti mpi was a solid cam 135hp man and that got off . Love it boys 😍

[@TheBlaert]

I built one years ago from a Metro GTi 16v SE. It had a 1.8 from an MGF with Janspeed manifold, side exit exhaust, modified 52mm throttle body and a set of mild cams. Think it had some sort of Rover Sport ECU but that might have been my other one. It also had GRP wings and bonnet, and stripped out with a Safety Devices cage. It pushed around 142bhp from memory and it was just about perfect power for the size of the car. 500bhp in a Metro is absolutely mental and I love it! One thing I would do is turret the rear end and put a set of shocks in there if you're keeping the Hydragas in the rear. It will MASSIVELY help with the grip and handling. Hydragas suspension is the work of the devil

Sleeper cars are the best. Its the shock on peoples faces that make it worthwhile. Me and my bro back in the day owned a white Montego turbo that was, ahem, seriously modified, with about 300bhp (when even 200bhp was major), and tons more torque. Was well known in the Lanarkshire / Strathclyde area and on Knockhill Racing circuit. Hot hatch days were such a laugh destroying the "big players". Sleepers are the only way to go.
