My MG ZR Replica
Since i had a spare Zed which i stripped for parts, i went and got a really really cheap r25, downside - front damage half repaired and thought this will be a good experience for me as iv always wanted to learn abit about cars, and know the basics of a rover car and the k series engine.
the previous owner had this car standing for months and months so it wasnt really in the best running condition had little niggles like washer bottle cracked, car running lumpy due to crap plugs, oil sensor missing etc. after £50 on plugs/oil/coolant etc she was purring like a kitten! i thought id buy this as i dont see many MG Rovers kitted in a 4 door version bar sammys . and + the excellent price i got it at! all my progress has been recorded in my blog spot. check it out if you have time http://shafzr25.blogspot.com/ |
oh yeah here are some pictures of my workhorse whihc i use to commute to work and pick up bits for my Rover. Its a 1.9 Dturbo which has been lowered, stage one tuned (running about 115ish bhp) and a derv doctor dump valve....best of all this little beast is an insurance group 5!

wow, what a great blog on the 25/zr! a few neat touches I may use myself. Love the carputer, I fitted one to my Punto a couple of years back with 8" touchscreen, sat nav etc, but got bored of it and sold it. I love the USB plugs though, I will defo be doing this when I change my headunit to the dvd/divx/mp3/bluetooth one!
I just wish I had the funds and the guts to do all that myself, well done mate. |
Thanks pal :D
what interface did you have? im thinking of running road runner unless you know a better one out there? |
think road runner is the way to go, I had mediacar but the owner retired or something so will never be updated. This blog has got me thinking about going down this route again for the ZS this time but spending a bit more cash and doing it properly, my install in the punto cost me about £250 max
|
mine cost me about £100, the rest of the stuff i had lying around or borrowed from work...
some guy in a ZS has fabricated this http://www.kaneaston.co.uk/zs/zsinstall22.jpg http://www.kaneaston.co.uk/zs/zsinstall23.jpg |
omg I want one! that is stunning and way beyond my capabilities!
|
awesome as always mate, really do hope i see this car in real life when its finished :)

oh forgot to as the button pic hehe
