Hi all, thought I'd share with you guys.

You may have seen my threads over on .org where there is a big diesel community but figured although its not a v6 or yellow some of you may still appreciate it.

So, Ive had my current ZS for three years now and over that time its evolved into something pretty unique I think.
Ill just talk about the latest episode of modifaction here...

I took it off the road in Feb this year and got an awesome little clio 172 to drive round in while the ZS was under way. The Clio was sold at the end of summer and the ZS is now back on the road and better than ever. I do miss the Clio and would suggest that if you havnt tried one to do so at some point.

Anyway, back to the MG...

All this was brought about because back in February when I took it off the road the standard clutch couldn't cope with the torque from the VNT (didnt help that the release arm had seized), one of the exhaust valve seals began to leak so it was burning oil and I had an LSD gearbox to fit along with a CG stage three clutch from dark ice designs.

It was originally the plan just to do the work described above but being a perfectionist I went a whole lot further as the following pictures show...
