Yo. As i now have a new bike i'm selling up my CB400. It is the super rare version 's' model which includes uprated shocks, adjustable forks and really powerful brembo 4 pot calipers on the front. Bad bits first! Its a used bike, in used condition - i'm not a fair weather rider so the bike does get ...

Hi all. Selling these on behalf of a freind and i have limited details of them so excuse my brief description - any questions just get in touch and i'll get back to you. I'm not sure what any of this goes for so offers are welcome, or if anyone cares to advise it would be much appreciated! 1 - Quaif...

HI all. Im after a car a bit cheaper to run than my coupe for a few months to use through till the spring. I'm not bothered about condition or anything, just want a cheap as possible, cheap to run winter runabout thats road legal. Even if it wont pass its next mot i wont be bothered if it hasnt cost...

Do you mean the whole dash or just the instruments? Complete MGf dash would be a nightmare, its tonnes deeper than the metro item, but it would probably be about the right width.

Better plan - rip it all out, free performance and no more ugly dash

Go go a 820 vittie. Then you won't have a grandad image for long! You will have boy racers saying, "is that a turbo there". :D an now we hit the major snag. i have an auto only license so my choice of cars is very limited when it comes to rovers :( serves me right for being lazy though :o...

Regardless of what the engine's doing, you've got energy stored up in the wheels which are going silly speed. I wouldn't bet my life on, but I reckon it'd take off at some speed! Simply, as typically static friction has a higher coefficient than dynamic, the car will take off slower with the wheels...

oh and that pics a trick ;), it was done in my street hehe, car was on axel stands on me drive :roll: :oops: Can you imagine what would have happened if it'd wobbled off he stand? :o yeh, you'd hit the brakes and clutch Lol, exactly, a bit of wheelspin and you'd stop it - it wouldnt shoot off flat ...

Just get him to follow you and see how long he keeps up.

Sis 220 GSi did a 5.8 0-60 on a G-meter with 258hp i think it was - its all about hetting the power down, there's no way Si could plant the throttle in 1st and get grip.

if ur gonna do it do it properly! here my lil beasty http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e17/improbablysleepingwithyourmum/DSC00038.jpg Neat! Is that the rad infront of an open air intake on the right though? I'd look at getting some ducting on that filterm the air from the rad would be well warm!

Not without hp to dispose of that torque.

Will a race really prove your car is better than his? Quicker or slower maybe, but better? Thats a matter of opinion. Owning a Rover you have to be ready for these remarks - i owned metros for years so i got pretty used to it.

114gta

You can actually hire the track for a day as a club from 9 - 5, we used to do this with metropower, might do it again this year. Makes for a great day, use the track as you want, full or short circuit, drag races on the straight etc. It worked out pretty cheap with about 15 of us paying.

Well its clarified above that it's not T-series, so it'll be 1.8 or under.

The most annoying thing I hate is being asked "why have you spent your money on a Rover, when you could have a nice BMW"

IMHO, thats exactly why they're getting rare - people dont want/care for them. Everyone thinks Rovers suck so nobody care's when they do see them. Shame!

I've got no DV on my T28 but can't say I've heard any noises that I'd call compressor stall. It's pretty silent like the T25 was. Maybe I've just got a huge (quiet) boost leak :D My DV stuck closed and i was getting comp. stall on my T28, i could hear it but it was very quiet and my car runs 1.2bar.

114gta

Later cars were fitted with the pistons that had 16v cutouts although i'm not sure of the changeover date. Better idea though - buy a 1.8 bottom end and ecu....

114gta

Lol, what a ridiculous idea, actually wanting to do over 168mph on public roads. I can't beleive you got that speed with a 220hp spec - 300hp more likely. I once accelerated past 150 and let off, honestly i didnt want to go any quicker, its so not worth it. You must be a nutter!

Fair point - yes please!

MX-5 is a nice alternative. Will be more reliable and better put together than the f, no doubt handle better. Will also no doubt cost a fair bit more though and i dont think the looks are a patch on the MG. As for the leaking roof - what makes you say that? My girlfriends is fine, are they supposed ...

I want to stab his face with a claw hammer! It looked so nice before.

114gta

To answer the thread question, easy, its both. :D Exactly my sentiments! Great car imo - try one. Who cares if its a 'hairdressers car', that dosen't make it any better/worse! My girlfriend has one and i like it. Its only the 118hp solid cam 1.8 but is pokey enough, it handles really well and is go...

Sorry, i might be having a dim moment.

Why did he say the bottom end had gone? I see the cylindes are full of water, why? What exactly was bidged about the repair?

Need more info!

114gta

With a G-meter, i measured consistant 6.4 0-60 times and top end it pulled off the 130 clock easily onto its limiter.

probibly slightly less real speed.....

Yeah but it got there pretty quick, it would pull over that if the vid went on im pretty sure.

Rally car? Get the 1800 then. You'll be wanting handling, the K is much lighter.

114gta

How deep are your pockets?

114gta

I think a tf has alot of potential. I'm sure they could handle really well with decent suspension tweaks, the engines are easy to get up to ~180hp ish. Won't be as fast straight line as a coupe tubby, but would likely out handle one whilst probably being a much nicer car to drive. IMO there is alot ...

114gta

That's pretty good. Now let's see the version where the timing cover captive nuts spin in their holes, the crank pulley is a biotch to remove and the last lower bolt, behind the power steering pulley gets rounded, and all this with the engine still in the car. It does make you wonder if Haynes has ...
