Morning Guys

Been scouring the net trying find somewhere for help and to admire others MGs, Sadly dont own one (YET) but will be purchasing in less than a month just hard to find one in a good condition. Looked at some of your pics fantastic work some of you done.

Well hope to get TF asap and meet you at some meets soon.

Cheers

Arron!

Here's some reading for you.

Hastings mate, Saw someones pics were at Newhaven barracks, not to far from me!

Quick question. 160 or 135. Heard Re map on a 160 is better, also is a re map worth it, I know the engines aint great at the best of times but been told can get about 179bhp out of them post re map.

Cheers

135 is a simpler engine - easier to work on.
160 is the variable valve version.
Your choice really.
If you're after max power without major engine changes(cams etc) then a remapped 160 would give about 175-180.

My mpi has 120bhp and its more than enough tbh, don't forget it's not a heavy car.

Hi Arron, WELCOME TO THE T BAR

There are lots of good MG TFs out there for sale at good prices (very low at present) and there is a load of rubbish too.
Dont rush into buying unless you know what you are looking at, have a look at www.churchsquareautos.com they are not cheap but have some superb cars with a known history, the have too good a reputation to sell rubbish. Stirling Automotive in Eastbourne are worth having a look at too.
