Really nice car you have there. Keep the vvc, don't put a T16 in it like a lot have done.

I won't be putting the t16 in. Toooo heavy. Have thought about some different cams/throttle bodies/kseries 1.8t next. All cash dependant. But that's at least a year away. Want to sort the bodywork first.

Shame, lovely car. Once I get my st together I may well be in the market for one of these. The Orange cam cover looks awesome.

Nice!

Used to have a BRM track car with a VHPD engine, coilovers, lightweight flywheel etc etc etc until some bar steward stole it....

They are a great laugh :-)

I've always liked these (sadly have the original brochure in the drawer here at work...).

Was going to get one but then wimped out and turned towards a 25Gti (mechanically identical but no LSD IIRC).

Good luck with the sale - looks nice with the 'touches'.

Want to swap for a 105 ZR? hehe would sit nicely next to my mazda smile

Cracking car and i'm sure the next owner will appreciate the work you put into it, do NOT sell it to someone planning to track/hillclimb it.

Always liked the BRM. Just a curiousity but do you feel the diff doing it's thing much on poor road surfaces? It was a Hewland unit wasn't it?

If only the MG ZR's had kept using that diff!

If i am honest i dont drive it hard enough to notice the diff working or not.

I can tell you it handles very well though. smilesmilesmile
