What do you guys think?

[madmover]

The cars nothing special but not too shabby for a first car, hoping to get a megane sport and make it into a R26R over the summer but washed down the mg earlier and took some photos and had a play with photoshop what do you all think?

Just a 1.4 Kseries lump, 108bhp it got on the rolling road with everything which has been done which isnt too bad, looking to get something better during the summer though

how hard did you get hit on insurance ??

[Curry Burns]

Nice car, but your comment regarding the Megane Sport into a R26.R...is that just in looks or actual performance?

i am but its too chavvy for my liking, not my sort of style! im a golfer for a start! so looking at alternatives now ive saved up and got some more capital to play with, as for insurance because i didnt want to put it in mum or dads name and declared all the mods worked out just short of £2900 but ive paid it from what i earn and i bought the car so to me its worth it if it puts a smile on my face

fair play mate 3k

thought mine was bad at 1k and iam 40

bit of both, would boost the power to about 120-130bhp hopefully but strip it out, and get the roll cage, seats etc in, some new alloys, tyres, brakes and suspension, exhaust and bumpers, also get some perspex windows and have it re sprayed a completely different colour to black (intend on having a black one to start with) but will wait and see how far my money stretches, wont be anywhere near as quick as a R26R hopefully it will handle well and set some good times round the tracks

Sounds like a good idea mate

[MGZRod]

Nice ZR mate Got a xpower grey one myself. 1.4 too.

One question RE the 108bhp, was this with or without that cold air feed induction kit? Just wondering as they are well known for heatsoak in the ZR and losing power?


Like the megane idea too!

Looks nice in yellow. Seen a few that have faded aswell.

I learnt in an MG ZR, was a 1.4 but in Trophy Blue.

[deeen]

My first car was a renault 4, if that makes you feel any better?

[mark_mcd]

The 1.4 MG ZR is an excellent first car! Look good, cheap to run and insure, etc. Looks smart in yellow

Looks nice, Shame about the lack of skirts. Can't believe they did this!

What mods have you done to get 108bhp?

[RobCrezz]

Nice first car.

Am I missing something? I thought they were 105bhp standard?

Crazy money!! Nice first car though, mine was a Mk1 Fiesta with a foot pump for the screen wash!

yeah yellow is a pain though in many ways although i love it, blue looks good, not the easiest of cars to learn in as they tend to disintegrate as you drive along lol

It was a lot more reliable than the Mini One before it.
