Here's a question... what percentage of MG Rover cars have Longbridge registration numbers?
Started of with Spax on my 2000 model but found that after time the threads started to corode which made it hard to adjust the car height. When i swapped the car for the later model in 2004 i changed for AVO coilovers which so far have been fine.
To date i have done the following to get the car to 200 bhp:
Home made air intake system.i.e with the cone filter sitting under the wing where the resonator would sit(and i still think this is the best way to do the intake).
Mannis back Piper exhaust system
Piper 270 cams and vernier pulleys.

Progress was as follows:
Standard car Rolling Roaded at 173bhp
Cat back exhaust and intake fitted 184 bhp
Cams/Verniers fitted 203 bhp

Car really responded to Cams well.Did have a Piggyback ECU fitted but it done diddly squat for the power so ended up taking it off.
Although the power is not the best i feel a lot has to be said for a fairly hard suspension setup.i know its not everyones cup of tea but the responsivness of the car on excelleration with stiff springs etc is so much better than the standard stuff where a lot of that responsivness is sapped by the rear suspension.
I dont know just my thoughts.
