Thank You All!

Here is the new Trophy 160 engine ,






With new MLS Headgasket

Can't wait until it runs !

Are you fitting bigger brakes too?

The AP's up front?

I love Plastidip.. plan to buy the gun kit for future use

I would love AP's but it doesn't fit in Square Spokes 16'' , it only fits with spacers but i don't like using spacers on my car, so i think i will buy a Performance brakedisk Grooved and drilled with greenstuff pads !

Just me probably.. But has it got the VVC belt cover on the other end?

Have you checked the engine number to make sure its deffo a 160?

Should have this belt cover on the opposite side to the cam belt end.. At the top of the engine.

Seen here painted red..

That are some nice brake disks!!
Im pretty sure its an 160 HP engine ,
It comes from an MG TF 160 model the newer types if im right !
(:!
that engine seems cool with the red !! must be more than 160 hp :pinch:

Hoping for 220-230 BHP at 8,100 rpm

Its a Hellier/Scholar 1.9 on Titan Throttle bodies..

Look for the belt cover on the far end.. At least then you'll know its a VVC.. So either 143 or 160.. Late 160s had oil coolers on the block.. Which yours doesn't have in the pic..

Or look up the engine number on the block

Few pics for ya..





And yes... Those are vented rear discs lol 312x25mm

100mm air induction kit..

You're right Allan, the engine number will confirm the provenance of the engine, but this is certainly a MEMS3 engine - so making it that little more likely to be a TF160 lump than a an earlier 145bhp version, but it will be good to check.

280mm discs all round? So far I am very happy. Snetterton last week may have been a bit "damp", but it has to very long straights - one of which heads into a pair of very technical corners and hence hauling up from 110mph down to under 50 in short order. I've got standard road pads for now, and had absolutely no problem with brake fade with really consistent pedal pressures. Really really happy.

A sterner test will be a hot, dry track day, but the initial impressions have been extremely encouraging!

Oh and don't start me singing the praises of the Federal tyres - Allan, you're going to love them
