We purchased this car new in 1997. It has now covered 39000 miles last new I fitted an ex Lotus Elise solid cam motor + the following
Black Diamond front discs & predator pads.
Front & Rear Arbs.
Braided brake lines.
Fully Poly Bushed
MGF front Hydro Units
14" Wheels with 195/45/14 tyres
Lowered & individualised suspension
Rear subframe brace
Stainless exhaust system
Decat pipe
Mgf balljoints
Red band 2.9 quickrack.
On the rollers it produced 135BHP with an amazing near unbelievable 145lbs of torque ( I have the readout for the disbelievers). A pretty quick torquey motor. I will be fitting a new black Mohair hood in the next few days.

I finished fitting the new mohair hood today. No wonder they wanted £200 to fit it. It took me a couple of days. A big improvement on the factory grey plastic one.
