my daily 1993 rover 414si & mgzstd+115 (pics to come!
 

My genuine milage 1 previous owner (deceased) 1993 rover 414si 7600miles only!!! thats right 7600miles! not 76000! & NO power steering!!!

all i have done to it is change the exhaust to a self made stainless system with a slightly modified metro gti tubular exhaust manifold & downpipe! it needs a 2nd silancer as its a bit too boyracey loud for me! i want it a subtle burble!
lowered it about 100mm but the front has to come down a little more to loose the gap between arche & tyre edge :OD
i have the rover gti alloys like in the pic but i actually drive about in it on stock steel rims! they are black with a red pintripe around the perimeter of the rim! the rear lights are from a tomcat so have the clear rear indicators rather than orange! i have also painted the bootlid numberplate panel matching red, i may paint the roof a matching black to the upper half of the doors so its a very subtle two-tone!
i have a genuine rover front splitter & bootlid lip spoiler (a bit like a bmw m3 one) i also have some gti rear spats to fit too & a tomcat turbo bonnet that has the bulge in for clearance of the t-series turbo motor also needs painting & fitting! i'll debadge it too, we know its a bloody rover
other than the above it is totally stock & will stay this way as i only tootle to work n back in it, my only plans are to keep it rust free & look after it! i like it to be subtle! those that know rovers will see what i have done those that dont will think its stock!

although if i had a serious engine problom on the 1.4 k-series! i have a full tomcat turbo motor with a t28 turbo & big SAAB intercooler & all the bits including front & rear vented disks & powersteering setup! i bought a cheap drivable tomcat turbo that had a rear end smack & stripped it for the conversion bits! & it was feckin fast as heck! i'd love to get it in but i dont have the time at present!:look:
picsof the zs to follow!

i had one of those in blue it was a cracking car and my first mg-rover:clap:

Looks good. I had a 420Gsi and I absolutely loved it. Great car.

Must be like a new car with those low miles.

Had this down the road the other day, getting it ready for Castle Coombe

i actually really like that, looks smart as a saloon lowered like that, nice one! make sure the rear arches are well covered underneath :)

Nice ...

My first Rover was a 214SEi and it went well. I like the 3 box shape.

Assf

yep! i liked the saloon & my tohught was that it would look pretty good lowered, due to the milage it does drive pretty much like a new car! its super tight in the handling but with it being a non-power steering modal, damn the steering is heavy sometimes!
i would consider fitting some strut braces to the daily 1.4 just so the body is'nt flexing, i have made a bar to brace the rear suspension & cam make one for the turrets, if i can get som for the front that would be pretty good!
the interiour is completely stock, wind up windows the lot!

zspete thats pretty damn groovy! bet it go's well!

Guy was trying to sell it and one of his mates who was helping had one as well, that he was also selling.

:wave:

7600 miles, that was a nice find.
