sounds like a bit of work is required to get a hold of one but hey .. that's his problem





you like what I done there its a easy mistake... you know they all look alike lol!!

what is the LE stand for?

did the MG ZR 160's not come with a type B then? is that the only difference from the BRM and ZR 160?

LE stands for Limited Edition

& the 200 was built by the Rover Group owned by a bunch of t*ssers (BMW)

the 25 was built by the MG Rover Group owned by a bunch of muppets. (Phoenix Consortium)

There are many differences between the BRM and the ZR160

1.4 r65 box has compatible gear sets with pug / Citroen. Good upgrade to metro racers was a peugeotsport gearset from race 106's. suretrac and gripper do diffs for them.

The BRM has a PG1 though, same as the ZS (with some minor differences so the gearboxes arent interchangable. The diffs are though. Id say it doesnt fit in a Saxo just so it doesnt get used in one!

I'm just going to shut up now

i like quaife stuff

I've been looking into getting a Gripper for mine, they seem to get alot of good reviews and work out a touch cheaper than a Quaife version.

I dunno it it's my driving style or bad luck, but I've broken two Type B diffs at Knockhill. The last one sheared the whole drive leg off with the bearing still on it lol.

I've got another one from Goldie (aka ZRed) so I'll try and be more careful with this one!

my bro used to have a Gripper in his old Nova GTE, said it was worth every penny, made the world of a difference.

[ZRed]

Grippers don't drive same as torsens as they are plate type diffs. They are point and go! Takes a lot to get used to!

what would be best for a bit of fast track that can handle a heavy right foot then?
