I'm not usually a fan of MGs but that is smart, love the Rota's

Spotlessly clean!

Rybo89 · 2 Feb 2013 at 17:00

I would lick that clean for free.

You seem to have parked it in a gypsy site - probably not a good idea!

Good man. Still +100000 respect for actually driving such a car rather than keeping it locked away spotless.

I quite like that MG but liked the older design headlights on the Rovers.

I see Rota wheels and Subaru seats, anything under the bonnet?

wow good eyes to notice the seats.

shes a 180, with usual itg filter, lightweight flywheel quaife diff, decat/zorst, big brembo brake conversion, avo coilovers, rear braces. Its quite a sorted car and very clean for 11 years old

about 200 bhp but the kv6 is a really sweet engine. The lightweight flywheel and light wheels really help it along, i took one up santa pod in a 13.7 not fair from this spec (allbeit striped out)

in a few months there is a huge change coming for it

edit. its my weekend toy to be honest, having owned various forms of mg zs's since 2005, supercharged, turbo'd, nasp with cams etc, there just cheap motoring this one owes me about £1400 quid

Jonny ///M · 2 Feb 2013 at 19:55

That's not bad at all. Seems easy to get better parts for?

I'd love a more free revving engine over a turbo and that's why I would love a Pulsar VZR but doubt it will happen.

I spotted the seats as I have the same ones I think.

Regy53 · 2 Feb 2013 at 20:12

ah yeah same seats indeed, i bought the car with them fitted and initially i thought i wouldn't like them but there actually very good.

Parts are 10 a penny. just depends what you want or need. body panels etc ? easy . engine parts easy, not a lot goes wrong with them apart from clutch hydraulics and sometimes the inlet can rattle

Jonny ///M · 2 Feb 2013 at 20:30

Sounds like a good solid car.

Everything I look at for my car costs a fortune. Coilovers, Grid drifts are hard to come by in this fitment, engine wise I can turbo for about a grand or go for cams and fit a VZR box(I think) for shorter ratios...but then shafts are rare as ****!

Then the rust which kills them off ruins it too.

Only on OCUK is there an Almera Gti, a quick rover and an F40 in the show us your motors thread!(Pistonheads doesn't count)

Stormster · 2 Feb 2013 at 20:32

That F40 being filthy is great! You just gotta respect someone who properly uses a car like that.

That MG is a nice looking motor, Rotas look sweet on it!

Regy53 · 2 Feb 2013 at 20:43

funny really as i so very nearly sold them, they came of this car and if im honest i did not get on with the color and i tried to sell it, sadly nobody came forward so i broke it for bits keeping what i wanted

wheels do not suit this ?
