I have had 3 MG Zr's, 2 1.4 16v and 1 2.0L Turbo diesel Basically in a nut shell the 1.4 16v K series is factory tuned to the max right out of the factory with its 105 bhp. Fitting an open cone airfilter will give the engine a lovely growl and make it sound faster but you will lose a few horses...

not too sure really , just wanted the car to look cleaner.

I took them off

Done a bit of work latelyy Nicee were out everynight, around sidcup and crayford and that

HaHaa I cant help it

Its been a while since ive updated this thread but here goes. Not done much to it recently as money has been really tight. But i have fitted the black stripes and heres a pic of grill that i debadged and filled then sprayed over in black. Also i made a custom back box from spares i had lying around.

Yhh i get paid soon so im going to buy a new gasket , oil filter and oil and check the engine over. Is it needed to change to head bolts aswell ? Also here's some recent pics so far

I see what you all mean but from what ive had so far im better off with the rover. It uses a bit less petrol and I can relax more when im driving as its not noticed as much as my old polo as this rover is a " grandads " car lol. All ive done so far is spray all the black trim silver and take...

Finally moved on from polo's and given this a try. What do you think. Good or bad? Also I have been told they are known to go through headgaskets so I am going to replace that asap. It is 2000 reg with 52,000 miles on the clock. The whole car is mint except from one small dent on the right rear...

Too True. Ive only been driving for about a month and half but i dont see the point of speeding around. I actually want to keep my license. I was heading down to crayford to meet my mates the other night and was sticking too all the speed limits. Next thing I know the car that was stuck up my...

a non alloy block ?

The plan is now, with the money i get from stripping down my old polo and selling the parts i am going to buy a broken polo 1.6. Take out that engine and ecu and soo on. Strip down the 1.6 engine and fit a new clutch, head gasket exectra and turbo charge the 1.6 myself and get it all ready to...

I go to the 6th form at Beaverwood School For Girls :bigsmile:

Dont get me started on pot holes, the amount of potholes there are around where I live is ridiculous. Lowering the car didn't help either =[

Yh i was thinking to weld a plate in there. After the tail gate has been smoothed im going to save up towards turbo charging the engine.

Ermm im not too sure now. -Im thinking to tint the back 3 windows again for security purposes plus I really dont feel comfertable when im driving and people drive past and look in my car. -Then im going to smooth the rear tail gate again thats gonna take another £20 of body filler ¬_¬...

You know the BP Garage in chiselhurst next to the car dealers

Next thing is going to be the engine. I am going to completely de-cat the exhaust. then make myself a 4 into 1 manifold Then planning on fitting 1.6L injectors then getting the engine mapped myself if I can find out how to do it.

Dunno yet will find out from my insurers in a few months. Anyways here is part 2 of the build with the new polo :D http://www.torquecars.com/forums/f111/my-little-polo-part-2-a-13733/

HaHaa yhh I took the shocks and the alloys off my old polo and put them onto this one. Keeping the old polo for spares but I am selling the spares off as well if anyone needs any. Keep posted this car will be a looker when its finished ;)

:D its getting there

I would if I could but after the crash there's too much that needs to be repaired to put it back on the road =[

Yep that's the plan :D , then I am going to completely strip the old one so I have spares for my new one.

LoL forgot it was april fools. Thinking about it changing everything so we drive on the right would be very costly

Time to get the ball rolling on the new one :D Old car is 1995 new car is 1998

Driving on the left is bad enough for most UK drivers. Who knows what its going to be like trying to make everyone drive on the right.

I work in Maplins :bigsmile:

HaHaa yhh man I live in St.Pauls Cray. Practicly right behind kemnal technology college.

Cheers guys I found a sticker in my spare wheel well that had then paint code in it. Shame i dont really need it anymore =[

3 doors for me as it gives the car a sporty look. But I could do with a 5 door as its annoying when you constantly have people getting in and out the back of the car.

I know some police get funny when it comes to tints. So I just tinted my back two rear passenger windows in smoke and kept the rear window clear.

Went to the petrol garage the day after the accident and they do not have any camera's facing that part of the road. Talking about insurance I am soo lucky I took those pictures. As I knew the person who crashed into me was going to lie and say that I just pulled out on her and she did say...

Lol thats ebay for you. When I took the cat off my polo if just took the exhaust off. cut off the cat with my angle grinder and welded on a bit of pipe. Job Done :D sounded the same in low revs but had a nicee roar when it hit 4k+ revs.

HaHaa I love the shopping list you have on the side of the car. Classic :D

Sweet mann When im back on the road we should go for a cruise sometime. I tend to go down southend quite a bit now. Well ive only been there once so far but you know :D

All these new types of technology are benefiting us slightly but I refuse to touch new cars. The minute something goes wrong with it you know you are looking at a very costly garage bill. Old Cars Were made to last forever and are so easy to fix !

eBayyy :D

Anyone that saw it just carried on driving

What happened was I was turning right out of the garage. I was sat in the lane waiting for a gap in the traffic so I could enter the other side. As I went to cross the white line she decided to try and drive down the wrong side of the road to dodge my car but ended up driving sideways on into...

yh the air bag smacked me in the chin Ill upload the picture of what I was hit by. Take a look at where there car is, someone tell me why it is in my lane ? The speed she hit me made my car spin to the left. She even had the cheek to come out and blame me for it
