MG ZR: Cams & Maps

Photo for you grant

Tbh I was expecting some of these comments, it's a marmite car personally I much prefer the look of these to the 306 while many of you see it as a Halfords disaster which I get but then I am also the kind of guy who likes arched saxos

For my budget though this car is fantastic,60k miles & 160bhp for just over a grand and apart from the cd player and removal of lexarse lights I have no desire to try and make it look better/different whilst with the 306 I was just never fully happy with it since there was always some lil niggle in the back of my mind.

The interior is so much more comfy than the 306 and for a guy who fairly regularly drives 4 hour sessions that's pretty important.
In terms of build quality I would say this feels "thicker" than the pug, not vw levels of quality but stuff closes with a thud rather than a ting if you get me?

Headgasket was apparently changed 6 months ago but im keeping my eyes on the coolant levels, and its cambelt is only 10k old. Full service history and the previous owner was a mechanic apparently.

Oh and it also has a RACtrackstar tracking system which receipts show it being £450

reason I am not keen on the ZR, is that rover said it was more than it was,
some people even think cause its got the "kit and mg badge" its faster than the counter part r200. sadly they are wrong.
I do give rover some credit in build quality, they are well build but the rust proofing is shocking! also the engine was highly advanced for its time too.
keep an eye on the coolant and the previous owner is a fool for swopping the throttle body over from a 52 to a 56! as the 52 one is the one to have!
