I have been taking a look through the forum and love the community feel.
I have come into possession of a 2001 1796cc MGF last year. I bought this as a little run around while I re-built my Vauxhall Vectra engine, only to find that these cars are awesome fun. This little car sparked up some memories of wanting to modify my first car (Austin Maestro 1.3) to look like the 2.0L Turbo version.
Unfortunately, after passing its MOT and driving around for 2 months, I believe the pistons had a disagreement with the valves mid acceleration.
Not to worry though, this has become project car number 2, where I will be converting it to electric, although not a conventional single motor. Instead, I plan to fit my own design of power unit in (with 24 load sharing motors) utilising the existing gearbox.
Please let me know your thoughts on an electric MGF or whether you would prefer a K-Series popping back in. Don't worry though, everything else will remain as standard, no underbody lights or anything, I'm past all that now
I will be making videos on this throughout the build and am happy to put extra info and pictures on here if you wish.
Here is the YouTube link of the power unit concept for my MGF https://youtu.be/QP8K7zrCqK4, I couldn't get the [youtube][/youtube] to work for some reason.
