Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Johnny Alan: 02 MG TF

Well yesterday I bought a new car as the jag was using around £80 a week on fuel to go to work and with fuel prices rising it was the best thing. I choose a 02 mg tf 160bhp version vvc in blue

Spec
0-60 6.9 sec and 140 top end and a good 49mpg motorway driving, will get some pics soon. Am only planning on doing a few mods eg a quick shift gear kit, carbon bonnet and I will purchase a hard top for the following winter.

Here we go fella:

nice mate, i like the brakes, sell me them !

the brakes are of a ap racing type and are only avvailable on the 160 version, I could have choosen the lower spec models like the 135 bhp version which is around 8 sec to 60mph and my insurance would have been £500 cheaper but I have never owned a car that has done 0-60 in under 8 secs so I just had to have it lol. For some strange reson though the 160 version is more economical than the 135 by about 2mpg and only 1mpg less than the 1.6 115 version.

Nice little motor that matey.

Your tall you fit in it ok

Hows your other motor???

yes I fit in it okay, I tryed the new shape mr2 and did like it but I had to have the seat right back to get in, it had no boot and at 9k for a 02 with 60k mile on it I decided this was far more for the money with just 25 miles showing.

What about the Punto

what about the punto It did it in about 12-14secs I think it was only a 1.2

it will be econimical because of the vvc. drive it normally and it will be great on fuel. 8 second to 60 hey, i'll have to challenge you as i think mine does it in around that. if you beat me then i'll just up the boost.

mine is the 160bhp version does 0-60 in 6.9 its the 135 that does it in just over 8. Bu hey will still give ya a race lol whill want to get used to it first though as it felt really strange driving it after the jag lol. F..king hate turb's (just turn up the boost) lol

shit, guess i'll up it to 14psi then. might only last the one race but it'll be worth it!

Lmao Stu
