Manufactured in 1990, Jap import model which had 160bhp as standard. In 2008 I had it repainted in VW Sunflower Yellow, and the bonnet and roof/boot spoiler remain in flint black.
Rundown of spec:
Chassis: AVO adj coilovers allround. Unsure of spring rates but pretty stiff! Most of suspension polybushed, with remainding few to do still in box unwrapped. usual rear upper and lower strut braces fitted, and engine brace too. MGZR 160 282mm front brake set up with grooved discs, ferodo DS2500 pads, recent in car brake bias valve, standard rear discs. ITR Master Cylinder and servo (makes huge difference to pedal feel) Wheels: Ten Borbet 7x15' rims, 4 with full slicks, as well as set of four 5.5x15 alloys with Toyo Tr1's. All tyres have at least several track days left in them! All painted satin black.
Mechanical: b16 of course, but with less than 75km on clock, ITR camshafts ,retainers and springs. Realistically circa 175-179bhp at flywheel as reprted by previous keeper buy never dynoed so unproven. Recent timing belt. , upgraded thermostat, new waterpump, head off to have ARP stud kit fitted for reliability. Re-cored Radiator etc etc
Y2 gearbox (recently stripped down for inspection, before being treated to 4.9 M-factory final drive and MTF oil used before refitting) Box is 100% excellent condition Gearing/acceleration superb with this box. Quick shift linkage also fitted. Supersprint exhaust manifold and scorpion exhaust fitted. Very strong cage fitted, usual lightweight bucket seat, plus standard pass SiR seat, 2 harnesses, cut out switches Poly windows fitted (Plastics for Performance Proffessional spec Thermo formed) all except windscreen of course. Very light & good quality Fiberworx bonnet in black fitted, plumbed in fire extinguisher (just serviced) foamex black door cards with sir top cards fitted. Race redtop style battery fitted in boot. Interior stripped of everything possible inc heating/aircon,centre console etc etc
I have spent thousands over the last 2 and a bit years, and the car is ready ro race or track day etc. It has not been used on the road so does not have tax or mot, but would need very little to bring up to mot (horn, etc) if you were mad enough to!
Very few negatives with the car, the odd scratch and chips on paintwork but no damage as such. (It did have a minor off which required a new wing and bonnet plus inner wing pushing back over)
Most of mods carried out over last 12 - 18 months and has only had 3 track days in all that time. (No races)
Fantastic Car, fit a transponder and its ready to race!!Located in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
