hehe, thanks bud. Damn shame I'm replacing the inlet manifold in 2 weeks....bleh

See, if this was any other car, I'd be really annoyed - not bothered about this one, all part of owning something British built I guess :mml:

This one really does, mainly because my flat is surrounded by NSL twisties :yay:

All part of the MG charm! Mines been replaced as well, a common thing.

Indeed, once replaced how long do they last? it's something I wouldn't rather do every year! mines on 62k atm.

No idea to be honest! They can go forever on some, and fail within 30k on others. It all depends on the quality of the actuator arm in the first place, no knowing how long it may run before wearing out. Mine went around the 35k mark and was totally shagged.

Fair enough.

Ah well, I just have a couple of weeks to source the parts (handy I'm getting paid Friday) as a friend from Manchester who drives a 420 Turbo GSI is coming down to swap it over, should be a giggle :D

Hehe, just ordered the inlet, should be here early next week...then it's time to operate :smile2:

Thanks dude....that *shudders*....Maestro is my Dad's - he uses it to fill up with crap, or when I need a car for whatever reason, same for my sisters...its the biggest POS in the world but due to the fact anyone can drive and insure it it is effectively priceless :(

The Maestro was there as I was using it until I picked the MG up :D

:D

Shortlist at the minute is

Performance

Induction
Decat
2.5" catback
possibly piper cams
remap

Suspension/Handling

I quite like the stance of it as it is, but I think I'll replace the bushes etc just so tis all fresh and new, might uprate them yet, haven't really looked into it.

Looks/Exterior

HID/Xenon kit
Fix rear bumper sag
Refurb/change colour of alloys, I'm thinking anthracite black
colour calipers

Brakes

Uprated kit, maybe 300mm black diamond grooved discs with 4pots and braided lines all round? :D

ICE

I have about £400 worth of gear sitting at home doing nothing, all I need is a HU - I have speakers and a sub/amp all from my first car when I was a chav :p - I'm yet to pick one...

So just a couple of bits for now ;)
