Which F / TF do you drive?

There's also the 120 Tf with the cvt box

Mine is a Mk2 1.8i. Photos here: http://www.the-t-bar.com/en/photo/1012blow-in

No performance mods (as far as I can tell in 3 months' ownership). Would like a better sounding exhaust but need the current (original!) one to fail first. Has had headgasket upgrade of course.

Practical mods are:

MGFMania HRW in hood
Anti-jam hood fittings (MG Rover)
Windstop (MG Rover)
Light covers in side boot (MG Rover)

Cosmetic mods are:

SS mesh grills
SS fastenings under bonnet and for hood catches
Alloy seat belt tidies + seat belt trim on T-bar
Alloy trim around ash tray, lighter and switch panel
Alloy door lock pins

still to come
induction kit when i feel brave enough to tackle the resonator box

52 2003 135 in x power grey. Owned since november 2011.

My intention when I bought this car was to enjoy it, I had no intentions of spending much money on it.

Then I discovered the t bar and all the products on e bay. So apart from getting on top of the simple things like brakes, battery, wiper blades, service, cam belt etc etc yawn yawn. I've done a few of the little mods that i've picked up thanks to the how to guides on this and the other forum.

Some of these are-
Washer jets.
piano black centre console, heater vents and door trim.
Kenwood head unit.
JBL door speakers.
Blue l.e.d dash.
Metal monkeys"le 500" heater dial surrounds.
Alloy seat belt surrounds.
Alloy heater knobs, Now removed as the wife said they looked cheap.
MGF mania heated rear screen.
Gaz coil over adjustable suspension.
Team dynamics 1.2 16" wheels with proxes.
Black x power gear knob.
Black petrol cap ring and hood finishers.
Chrome ash tray, This was harder work to fit than i expected.
L.e.d sidelight bulbs and new white xenon bulbs.

And a bid of a down grade rather than an up grade, I've replaced my old cracked worn half leather seats with cleaner newer black cloth, along with the door card pods.

I also have a trophy style spoiler and some rover lexus style rear light that i'm in 2 minds about fitting.

Thats it for now.

My tf 135 had a k and n induction kit fitted when I bought it, I have to say it sounds awesome under load, I have fitted an alpine radio and underseat subwoofer, hid headlights and led side lights, Abingdon alloys ( best looking alloys in my opinion) and that's it, might get it re-sprayed over winter, no more engine mods, if I wanted a faster car I would have bought one! Ha

TF160, Typhoon paint, has most thing I want, hardtop, a/c, spots.

Goes as fast as I want to go, so cant see any new bits apart from a uprated panel filter, when its serviced.

We have an intense blue LE500 as standard apart from some git put a scratch on it!!! Oh and a personal no plate. :dry:

mines a 2001 MG F steptronic and I love her, lol, only had her about a month so no mods..... yet.......

I've got a 1997 VVC in BRG. Few mods, lots more to come after Christmas.



Mine is beside the Elise.

Ours is a Mk2 F Freestyle 1.8mpi, seen here on last year's Border Patrol holiday to Scotland.

Loch Ness, with Castle Duart in the background.

I have 2 Mk1 MGFs at the moment
A 1997 VVC in Volcano Pearl. I imported it from Japan in July. It has 53,000km on the clock and is totally rust-free.
So far it has EBC rotors/Green stuff pads, Gaz Adjustable shocks, Pipercross Viper Intake, Optima Red-Top battery,
15" square spokes with Toyo T1R's.
It came with half leather, EPAS, ABS and Air Conditioning.
Parts waiting to go on include; Poly bushings, SS brake hoses, Toyosport SS manifold and flex, Silicone hoses and PRT,
Mk2 Door Cards & Tweeters, a K&H splitter and a bunch of small bits & pieces.


My other car is a 1996 MGF MPi in Charcoal imported from the UK.
It's more bare bones than the VVC, no Air-con, ABS or EPAS but it does have a passenger airbag!. It has lowering pins and poly bushings fitted, as well as Yokohama DNA GP tyres and an MS Slick shift with a K&H splitter on the front and a Trophy spoiler on the rear. It also has an MGF Mania Glass window soft top, a K&N panel filter, Magnacor plug wires and SS coolant pipes.
It was going to be my keeper but now that I have the VVC it's for sale.


It's interesting, the two MGFs have totally different personalities. The lowered MPi feels much more agressive and planted, the VVC is softer and feels more like a grand tourer. I wish I could keep them both!
