Show us your Maestro/Montego...

How does showing us an old pic of F170 prove he's still alive and well? You might have had him crushed in the meantime!

Hahaha, quite right. I shouldn't show you a pic of him at 3 years old.

I'll try again with a slightly more recent one. Least he's out of the garage for once!

As for crushing him, how could such a thought cross your mind???

Does receiving cosmetic attention on your signature mean you are going to wash him this week (if it ever stops raining).?

Wash??? As in with water? Hell no! :laugh:

Perhaps just a buffing up and waxing. And more buffing...

'fraid I cannot tell exactly what "cosmetic attention" he's having.

Must get rid of those sticky pads that someone stuck on the top of the dashboard, they spoil such a perfect interior.

And just because I too am a nosey bar steward, are we allowed to know exactly what "conversion" your EFi is receiving, or is that "top secret"?

BTW looked at your EFI's website: it's coming along nicely. Well done.

I don't have an EFi, although yes my 2.0i will be undergoing a "conversion" in the near future.

A small number of people may already know what it is, but I would prefer it to be kept hushed for a while.

Thanks for the compliment on the site, BTW.

Looking at your signature and hypothesising I would guess you are looking to covert some of the maestro into a montego?

Perhaps put a montego interior in?

Or try putting a Montego front end on a Maestro making it into a 'Monstro'.

Whats the difference between a Efi and a 2.0i then, you telling me yours is just injected and doesn't have electronic fuel injection

That would be nice wouldn't it.

Always liked the Montego interior.

Your car is exactly the same mechanically as the earlier MG Maestro Efi, its just a badge change. Electronic fuel injection, which is why your inlet manifold has this cast into it.

Yes there is that, and the colour coded spoilers, and the badging which differenciates my 2.0i from the EFi .

If you call a car by what it says on the engine/manifold, would you call my dads car a Rover 16 Valve??? I don't think so.

Unless I am reading wrong, my car tells me, in bright red badging that is a.........

That looks like faded red to me.

No, the point being made was that you have an EFi system Steve, but you implied in one of your posts that=

It almost seemed like you were planning on converting to Efi when you already have it...

EFi becomes 2.0i

Yes there is that, and the colour coded spoilers, and the badging which differenciates my 2.0i from the EFi .

The first 2.0i badged cars had black rubber spoilers. I think the badging changed in 1987 when company car tax laws regarding engine sizes changed, making a 2.0 litre car more attractive than before. It has nothing to do with the post-October '88 facelift when the colour coding was introduced.

EFi's and 2.0i's

That looks like faded red to me.

Yeah, I know. Getting a new set of decals.

Sorry, I can understand where you got that from, but we already know that it's electronically fuel injected, as the " i " in " 2.0i " states.

As someone once said regarding Diesel cars: the " i " in " TDi " isn't necessary, as all Diesels are "injected."

Just to confuse matters, not all fuel-injection systems were electrical Though most since the '80s have been
