I have a lowly mgf 1.8, so a long way to go.

I know the roads are not good for traction, but the back end loves to move out. Any mods on yours that help stop that trait.

Nice, my dad had an old mgtf cup car a few years ago with similar spec engine running around 210bhp. Was a decent track car once reliability was sorted!

Still got the carbon fibre doors off it if your interested.

Hi Mike I am currently trying to sell the car, just fancied a new project, you know how it is, if I dont sell it I may well be interested in the doors, let me know how much

It handles like a dream now, fitted Gaz shocks, stiffer springs, small rear lip spoiler, front splitter and cut away that stupid piece of metal behind the radiator that gives front end lift and created an angle section in the front boot space to give downforce.
