looking the part, lot of effort has been put in to this build. What kind of power you looking to get from your T series

yes it was bit of a ball ache thought

Hi Pete,
sorry for the delay in replying but since the forum update it takes a long time to get on to it when I'm away with work, I guess I'd like to see over 400 BHP once every thing is run in.
I"d like to get the handing sorted as well so taking the time to set everything up right and lose weight where I can,which will also help the brakes

[Paul72]

well it's been a while since I've updated so....
the Shell is back on four wheels now as I've fitted the powder coated subframe and Gaz suspension along with the four pot MGF calipers and rebuilt drive shafts.

[Paul72]

also sorting the fitting of a bigger Intercooler in front of the radiator

[Jeff Turbo]

Looking awesome Paul

[Paul72]

Well thats me away again, till June so last few photos for a while so by the time I'm back next I should have a lovely Alloy fuel tank to fit and then it will be down to just putting everything back together

looking good paul, that paint work got some shine!!

had problem with my discs on the front they where getting warped when getting machined down, couldn't get smooth braking even 3 sets of discs done by 2 different companies

now have 2 piece kit from here http://www.compbrake.com/product-cat...rsions/page/9/ now have smooth braking, they actually stock MGTF bell, and perfect size rotor to suit, might be worth bearing in mind in future if you have same problem

[Paul72]

funny enough I was going to ask you where you got the two piece disc from,
At the Moment I'm still running standard 304mm disc, when the Callipers were refurbished, the mounting holes were filled in and redrilled taped and heilcoiled for 10mm mounting Bolts (ARP)

I couldn't find MGF or MG TF disc so emailed them, and got back a very unhelpful answer so will have to keep looking for now
