aha! so a bigger jump then previously mentioned!

from 115bhp to 160bhp!

i was always put off by the VVC, but i cant remember why!!

ah well, none the less! still a great project to get stuck into! and some very tasty gains to be had!

you will be giving those 180 boys a run for their money!

The Laguna front splitter looks spot on for the Mark 1

I know that I'm not as mechanically savi as most on here, but isn't there an issue with an MGF being RWD and the ZS front wheel drive ? I take it you just modify the engine a bit to accomodate the driveshaft ?

That being the case .... no-one thought about just putting a V8 in there ?

Yeah get yourself some piper fast road cams to chuck in whilst your at it and im sure you should be able to hit the 160bhp easily!
