Supernaut Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've been offered an MGF for £250 all I know is its nightfire red. I know next to nothing about them but feel I cant go wrong at that price. Yes. Yes you very much can. Jazoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 That MG F could be a bargain or it could be the worst mistake you've ever made. After a few more miles the new tyres I had fitted have quietened down nicely and are feeling a bit less... waxy?... I can't think of a better word to describe how they felt initially. I'll need to do the back ones soon though, I've definitely now got more grip at the front than the back, hardly surprising since I've got old mismatched tyres on the back end at the moment.

vulgalour Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 MGFs aren't worth a great deal at present but even £200 is cheap, especially so if it's got any sort of road legal type status. Eligible for cheap classic insurance, bags of parts support and welcome pretty much anywhere as well as being super little cars by all accounts. They can go a bit crumblybum steamypants, but the same is true of just about any mid-engined sports car. If you like it and you want it and you have the pennies then go for it. Even I probably would at that price. stripped fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Sounds ok to me. If the springs were shorter then they could fall out of place when the suspension is unloaded over bumps etc. What they normally seem to do is one tall/thin coil at the end to take up the gap, the weight of the car is enough to flatten that & get to the stiffer bit. Sounds about right. Old Man is pretty thick, he must think that ride height and spring height are related, since the springs taken off the rear (from a FWD A4) were way longer than the -40mm springs, but that makes sense as they were completely wrong for the car and were only on there as a previous owner was a cheapskate.

wuvvum Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Got the tyre fitted to the Saab wheel this morning, then got the wheel back on the car this evening. Much happier now that it isn't running on a bicycle tyre on the back any more. I also swapped out the hopeless LED sidelight bulbs for some proper old fashioned filament bulbs, which have improved things no end. It's now been well over a week since the car last went into limp mode too, so my cunning* fix appears to have worked. I actually fixorated a modern diesel. I know, I'm scared too.

JohnDeere Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Collecting this eBay win on Thursday - 16-foot Ifor tilt-bed trailer. Bought because I was actually looking for a 10ft flat bed. But this one has the big benefit of costing no more, but being able to ferry around shite - even dead shite thanks to the winch and big ramp. Looks like a good seller and a nice trailer, one owner, new tyres. Once I have it, I'll be happy to offer a ride for anyone with dismal cars requiring moving in and around Fens/East Anglia for petrol money.
