Thorney Offroad - Polaris RZR XP900R

Thorney Offroad, the offroad division of Thorney Motorsport, exhibited recently at the Autosport International Racing Car Show where they had on display the Polaris RZR XP900R side by side rzr racing machine. This machine is the UK rzr racing drivers vehicle of choice. For the 2012 side by side NoraMX rzr racing series Thorney Offroad will be entering their own racing team as well as providing a full sale, support and arrive and drive options for other competitors.

Being a race car team Thorney is adept at modifying the XP900 for rzr racing competition with upgrades to the chassis, cage, suspension, brakes and power train which maximise the already stunning performance. A lot of the upgrades come from Thorney's partners in the USA where SxS racing has been going for a long time but others are home grown, their race cages are all designed in house and manufactured in the UK as are a lot of other Thorney Offroad performance upgrades.
Thorney Offroad can supply vehicles either ready for upgrades or fully competition prepared machines ready for the rzr racing track, they also offer a full arrive and drive service for the NORA SxS series which in Thorney's view offers the best fun per £ racing that exists in the UK.

Introducing the new Astra GTC200, the fastest GTC Astra yet

Thorney Motorsport, our partner on the Astra VXR engine conversion into the Corsa SRI race car, have launched their new Astra GTC200 model. As Thorney say "If you can't wait for the Astra GTC VXR, drive the next best thing!"
Based on the GTC Astra with either the 1.6 or 1.4 engine the GTC200 benefits from a range of upgrades from Thorney Motorsport, the Vauxhall BTCC team and renowned Vauxhall road tuning company.
These upgrades enhance every element of the car from handling, power, looks and dynamics and draw closely from Thorney Motorsport's long experience in Motorsport.
The Astra GTC200 will be available from February 2012 from Thorney Vauxhall or any local Thorney Motorsport Official Vauxhall Performance Centre. It is completely covered by the Thorney Motorsport 'lifetime, 100,000 mile waranty' so any Vauxhall retailer can look after your car without issue. The Astra GTC200 is even available with 0% interest over 5 years.

Astra VXR Engine Conversion Update

With the Christmas break out of the way work continues on the Astra VXR engine conversion, finalising the design and fabrication of the numerous bespoke mounting brackets and protective covers for the various sensors and ECU components. This is taking longer than anticipated but it is vital that all of the additional sensors and ECU peripherals are well protected from physical damage and water ingress. As soon as all of these components are mounted and protected the air intake system layout can be finalised and the various rigid pipes and silicon hoses manufactured. Progress is not rapid but we're getting there slowly but surely!
