M100LSN - ZS is on a distinguished road
Curious!!!!!!!!!

Has everyone on here done something to their mg's?

i own a red mg zs, 2001 model, 154520 miles!!!!!
I've had alot of issues with it but stuck it out cos i love it.

The mod's ive done...........

Bumper, alloys, spoiler, interior, panel filter, exhaust, lowering springs and after the second head gasket going i got the engine all rebuilt and messed with and its a different car now ;-D

I was just wondering what other things people have done to theirs to improve things??

Also what tyres ppl use, because i swore by the bf goodrichs as my car stuck to the roads no matter what and wore very well, but now they no longer make that size and im struggling to find anything as good!!!!!!

thanks in advance lol.

I've got a derv, so not much help with the mods.

I've got Hankooks Evo 12's seem good tyres, grip well and wear well.

I assume yours is the 120 from the HGF comment

I've worked on (and rebuilt) a few of them... although not really modified a 120 much - modified a few 180's though

When the modding starts there is no stopping it!

Over the years I have done a de-cat, cat back Janspeed exhaust, BMC CDA induction, AVO coilovers, remapped, lightened flywheel etc. It was stripped out with buckets for track use but my bad back meant I put the original interior back in for comfort! Sitting on 18s and Falken 452s.

The Avon ZZ3's that mine came with were the shizzle, put on some Kuhmo Ecsta's on after that and found they weren't quite as good.

I have had mine 2 years, and wouldnt say Ive modified it at all. Its had a catch tank fitted, and a cone filter. Hardly mods, more amendments to oe. Apart from that just tonnes of love and affection.
As for tyres im running Falkens and they are pretty good.......

I just love him the way he is................YELLOW and fast.
