MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

So bluey has been to be quite honest savagely ripped apart which hurt but needs must and I'd be dammed if i was going to let her go without taking the engine and the goodies to share with the mk2.
So far I've transferred some nice little bits like bonnet lining, sound deadening, headlight bulbs, some not so rusty bolts, rear boot carpet with sound deadening, strut brace.

Need to get the rear anti roll bar off along with the backbox however being rover they've seized solid so ordered a nut splitter to help sort that out 

Driving the Mk2 back from James unit on sunday helped cheered me up as although it pulls really badly to the left  the suspension is alot more comfortable than bluey ever was which makes me think perhaps something was never quite right with it hence the bouncing/harsh suspension. The engine seems to pull quite well as well despite having a heavily blowing exhaust and being totally stock (which we'll soon rectify) this makes me think that perhaps no matter what Bluey was just never destined to perform the way it should which is as sad as it is comforting 

The mk2 needs alot of cleaning up as it's still rocking all the 18 month grim inside and out along with being a bit rusty underneath. Hopefully will get out the underseal soon to save her.

In regards to build quality it's not as good as bluey but by no means as bad as people make them out to be. Perhaps I got lucky but everything seems to be as it should.

Just need a set of new tyres now as it's got some lovley mismatches on each corner ranging from a Avon to a Autogrip.
