Re: N.West newbie >>> :)

The next meet will be on 19th June at the Fox, however, I am considering the option of looking for a replacement venue maybe on the Wirral as the majority of current membership seem to be from this part of the world..... it is a mix of ages.....but this month (15th June) we are still at the stretto...

MGF Register Manual

Hey all,
a fellow MG enthusiast from .org has told me that i might be able to get a workshop manual from this site...? I've had a little look round but i can't seem to find the link. The car is an MGF VVC.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated!

Splitter Spray Job

I've been looking at buying a replica trophy front splitter from a guy in birkenhead. Does anyody have any idea how much one of these is likely to cost to have sprayed? And is there a local sprayshop that anyone could reccommend?
The splitter is already primed when you buy it.

Cheers

56mm Throttle Body

Does anyone know if you can fit these to the F? 52mm throttle bodies seem to be few and far between on ebay but there always seems to be a few of the larger ones

Hydragas Ride Height

Does anybody know the ideal height that MGFs should ride at? Mine is pretty damn low and needs to be pumped up. It measures 12" from the wheel centre to the wheel arch. I've seen some really high ones and they look ridiculous. Any ideas?

Decent Garages

My F suffered a nasty bruising after i mounted a kerb to let an ambulance past and now it is well and trully knackered. The pedals actually move left and right in the footwell when i turn the steering wheel. It is making an awful grinding noise and half of the front end of the car sounds like its fl...

Re: K&N F/TF differences

Ah right i understand. Just so long as the K&N will fit on the 52mm TB then all is good. The Rover 820i airbox sounds like a good idea too.

Styling Touches

Does anybody know the names of the spoiler and/or splitter on the car in these pictures? I've no idea where to start looking to get either of them but they're really cool.

Re: push button starter

Mine is the same as Dave's above, it is illuminated when the ignition is on, engine not running. It cuts out the 3rd stage of ignition, the firing of the engine and cuts itself out when the engine is running. I read in the link that there are two different ways to wire the button up using either on...

Does anyone know if scratches can be removed from your windscreen? Mine has a light arc where the previous owner has used dodgy wipers

MG Tuning?

I'd really like to get a little extra performance out of my '98 VVC and just wondered what reccomendations anyone could make. I'm aware that a K&N 57i kit is a good point to start at but i'm stuck after that. I'm only looking to spend a few hundred pounds at first and don't want to waste it on dodgy...
