Hi all!

Just joined the MGF club!
Got myself a 99 VVC.

Fair few bits done to it, has a Daytona exhaust, 52mm TB, side scoops.

I’ve just fitted the Toyo sport manifold and dp too.

Absolutely loving it, really impressed with the handling, I swear it’s better than the MK2 MX5s I’ve previously had.

Currently looking at fitting a low coolant alarm, and investigating a sort of tally noise, sounds almost like an exhaust blowing noise, but there is definitely no exhaust leak that I can find, might be nothing, but just want to check!

Hi and welcome to the forum J88

The VVC can be a bit tappy at times.

Yeah, I think I might be be being overly paranoid.

Already done about 1500 miles in it and it’s been faultless, little to no coolant useage at all.
Pulls fantastically throughout the revs.
