History: I have had this car since May 2008. It was in near mint condition when I got hold of the car - it is now, I think, better. I have made a few mods; 160 throttle body, Vader Ramair with intake pipe running under the car to force cold air in, Motobuild remap, Iridium plugs, upgraded head gasget. I only use it as a weekend fine weather car, it has not been drivin in the rain or out of the garage when raining by both myself, and the last owner. It's a fantastic little sports car, I have a bit of a pet hate for MX5s as everyone who knows nothing about MGs say how much better they are. I like to prove them wrong! I all so have a 56 reg, last of the line, MG ZT Turbo as my everyday car. |
