The Moog Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 With the mods it should see 60 in under 7 seconds. A third gear launch on to motorway certainly is exciting.

Guest Hooli Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Lowering springs for seats? never heard of that before, but it is something these really needed. I bet they made it much nicer to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Lowering springs for seats? never heard of that before, but it is something these really needed. I bet they made it much nicer to drive.The seat base attached by metal bars. These can be replaced by springs which allows seat to be more springy. Mainly changed because my co driver is 6ft 4 so extra headroom was needed. VRS- I am intrigued. I should get money really but let me know details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabergé Greggs Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 No chance of you selling it on for what you bought it for on here a couple of weeks back? I'd be interested if so, missed out by a baw hair the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insideimsmiling Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Really interested as my daily MGF got written off a couple of weeks ago when I was rear ended ( by that I mean someone hit the back of my car, not that it was vandalised whilst I was being reare ended - blimey, not with my back ! ). Anyway I would not want the hard top and so would you be interested in selling the MG to me without it as I know from experience you can get at least £200 on eBay for a hard top. Let me know ASAP if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yep. Tried FJ, Peter Best, A Plan, Lancaster and Heritage.

KruJoe Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 That's a shame. I can't remember how much Thai you know, but 555 is an appropriate price for this motor, it must be a right hoot. "555" is used in place of "LOL" in Thailand, it sounds like "hahaha". I'd love to try an MGF sometime, having had an MR2, and our MX5. I fear I'd have my bollox chopped off if I swapped the latter for this.Three out of three cars on the road in dark green? I don't fancy that. Wrap it yellow for us, and I'd have a case!

Bucketeer Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Joe, this car gives MEGA555Z. After taking it from Devon to Accrington I was disappointed to have to get out. In fact I may have done an extra lap of Accrington before finally delivering it, but don't tell Will. KruJoe and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 It definitely is a lovely bit of kit. Puma doesn't feel anywhere near as good. I think they are good looking cars as well.
