MG TF breakers

Hi all just a question, as I might be doing it in the near future, I convinced my mechanic to get himself an MGF when he will eventually buy one I would eb interestedin buying a TF for parts, do you know any breakers who would sell whole cars? I would be mostly after a 160 or a 115 car as they have lower emissions then the 135 and will save on my road tax. Thanks

Frank,
give the breakers in the Trade Directory a post. I know VVC Steve has offered complete cars on there. http://www.the-t-bar.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14

are you looking to transplant the engine into your car mate?

mmaybe, anything to reduce emissions and lower my road tax! :S

i'd stay well away from the 115 then mate, a 160 will cost you more but it's worth it... you'll make it back selling the bits that a 160 has and a 115 doesn't such as fog lights, central locking motors etc etc...

also a 115 engine really is epically disappointing in a "sports" car... after sitting in MikeKnights and CJJs TF160s there is a HUGE difference

do you know all about the ECU/Alarms/Airbag stuff for when you transplant?

not much well all I'm transplanting is the engine

you'll need to change the ECU and the SRS airbag computer thingy that controls the alarm as well mate the two are ment to work together... this means you'll need the fobs from the donor car as well (VVC Steve can tell you properly exactly what you need)

as for the two cars i reckon the value of the extra bits and bobs will make a 160 well worth it, you can sell them on and make your money back i was going to do this until i decided "no half measures" and to go for a V-TEC

how come your tax is so high?

because we live in a rip off country!!! that's y!!
