Just wondering if the 190's are good project cars - there are some awesome bodykits available for them? What tuning options exist?
 
MG ZT 190 Tuning

I think you re find the 190 hard to tune. You wont get much more out of
it even with the usual, exhaust,filter and chip. You will tip over the 200 bhp tho!
Due to the cars weight and size it wont feel much faster.
If you want an easy to tune ZT buy the 260 bhp rear wheel drive V8. It has a Mustang engine in it. If you can find one, around £13k now.

Dohnuts anyone.
 
The V8 is a monster - we saw Rover engines fettling one at a drift day a few months before they were released and it performed very well. The economy and emmissions were horrible but thats the price you pay for power. They say absolute power corrupts absolutely.
 
Just had a thought :eek:

If you like the ZT size and style but want cheap tunablity why
not buy a Rover 75 1.8 T. I beleive it has 160bhp ish as standard
but that can be easyily pushed up due to the turbo but the K series
engine does have a tendancy to blow head gaskets so up rate this before doing any tuning. The four pot even with a turbo may feel under powered
in such a large car and it will have to be reeved hard. The V6 is much smoother. Depends what kind of driver you are and the feel you want from your car.

Moto Build will sort you out whatever.

You can still dream of the V8 tho :evil:
