Hi everyone

DaveMGT, I have not had the cams fitted, a long story! but there still sat in there box ready and waiting! lol
The 'garage' charged with fitting them didnt have the tools for the job.

And I had my trackday at combe which was again excellent, and the car was very good, I just need to improve the suspension further
Below are some pics from last friday (12th August Combe)

Hi again!

On the interior side of things, ive finished my chrome bits and bobs! lol



And my MG touring 'style' gearknob





And some MG valve caps



I'm also going to be completely overhauling the front suspension



consists of:

Motobuild adjustable camber top wishbones

Adjustable caster bushs

Uprated lower arm bushes

And then ALL the other suspension bushes are being renewed with genuine MG items.
In the pic you can also see I have the Motobuild PG1 rebuild and uprate kit.

I have also just bought and fitted a brand new Plenum and both V.I.S motors!
I dont do things by halves! lol
It has made a big differance tho! I have also heat proofed the sections of the plenum most exposed to heat.









Now another section of the car I want to be refining and improving is the aerodynamics, Principally consisting of front splitter, rear diffuser, and a flat underside.

I have a carbon fibre splitter from my team dynamics days! still bright orange! or was lol!

So I had to repair the left hand side, and then I have sprayed it and just dummy fitted it to the car to see what it looks like, I think it looks really good but is going to take quite a bit longer to finish my new aero package!

Heres some pics!

KV6 turbo has been done.

Not a cheap route. Forged pistons, uprated liners, after market ecu, injectors, bespoke manifolds, bespoke plenum.

Some more great upgrades, will be a well sorted ZS when you have finished.

Hope the dust caps are s/s, I bought some ebay cheapie ones. rusted themselves onto the valves. had to get mole grips and a spanner to get them off.

That splitter takes me back to when I made one for my old Rover Vitesse, made from Makrolon and fitted to dia 12mm x 50mm spacers, think I lost that a few times! I'd be interested in how you get on with those upper arms as think they are somewhat weak imo.
