Hello,

So saturday i was on the motorway and off from a roundabout i had my foot all the way down really "trying" to give it some and a nissan NOTE was just gliding by... i just could not believe it! Been done by a note!

I know my car is no sports car by any means but come on!

Its a MG ZS 120+, i am not expecting to be the fastest thing on the road but just round up some old horses that got away... Think its all of them!

Think i am going to get ripped for saying this

Also i am not going to sell the car so no need to say

Cheers!

 

 

A good service, induction & exhaust upgrades if you have the cash.

or judt dont waste money & put up with it!

 

It's nothing a can of petrol and a box of matches won't sort out....


Has it been serviced or due one ..?

 

I think it may be due a service, maybe a rebuild if its that shit!

I did think of an induction as the exhaust would be to much

May just have to live with it! It does feel like there are many dead spot while driving.

Also i dont know who told me there good on corners?? Ive almost been out the road 100 times! The back end wont stay anywhere

 

You want to try drving a 90bhp Sharan with a bloody turbo that works when it wants

Steve

 

Your first mistake was that it's a rover

 

Just admit defeat and buy a Nissan Note.

 

Ahh but those Note's a well nippy

 

fuck the note, you want a corsa then your in cossie beating territory

 

My wife's got a Note

 

stick a tomcat turbo engine in it

or speak to reyland and have a 20v turbo fitted from an audi

other than that burn it or sell it and buy a note

 

I had to deliver a MG 120 back to a customer in swindon........dont worry its not just yours thats slow......i had cyclists overtaking me

 

mg 120's tend to make a lot of noise as they trundle past but the noise is deceiving.

 

REALLY thinking of selling it now... Today i went out with my mate in his Leon FR and i know its not cossie speed but love the pick up.

So thinking for the cheap price you can get clio cup 172, am i thinking like a cunt for this?

There about 35 mpg if driving slow and still get good pick up! Abit basic in side and been told there like a track car so not alot of comfort.

Are they worth it?

 

yes you are

 

my na esc van is the slowest thing on the road if you want you can race me to make you feel better

 

the escort van non turbo diesel , where 70mph limit isnt a target its a dream

 

How come

Please, it will make me feel so much better!

 

[quote=Eigdoog;5721247]How come


going on what your first post said, i feel you should be looking at buying a note lol

 

Get it sold Doogie... getting mocked by a Note isn't acceptable.


Cheers,
Grant

 

I know, like i said i think a clio is the way to go for the price but i think i my be to big for one as i am about 6 foot 2...

Cant find any good reviews, might need to open a thread and ask

 

Buy a 172!

 

ive had a few na escort vans and although they are slow accelerating they would all hit 110mph (on the speedo) given enough time ha. me and a mate drove from sunderland to santa pod and it sat at around 90-100mph most of the motorway part. dont know how fast that was in reality but i hardly got overtaken so must of been doing reasonable speed

 

The best thing about the car is that the speed is 100% correct! Ive had the sat nav in the car and from 20 to 90 it is spot on

Other than that I HATE IT

Looking at 172's as the 182's are more monies.

 

If you fancy some brutal power, borrow my wife's Note any time mate, it's slammed on it's arse and rolls on big wheels! (and no i'm not joking )

 

Ha Ha for being done,but seriously if you want to buy one i can get you a few grand off as i build them for a living lol

 

Just want to clarify i will never buy a note!

Still looking at clios, need more info on them though.

 

my mate had a 172 on coilies... handled really well and went quite well haha, it is a renault so reliability may be an issue but they're rapid

 

I almost cried when I bought my rs2000 4x4 and my mates Saxo vts beat me , his car did have a set of cams and a few other mods but come on, I was well fucked off!!

 

Do they cost alot to repair though? I do hear that the electrics are shit!

LMAO, I feel for you I really do

 

A second class drive is better than a first class walk, shut up and put up.

 

Nothing wrong with Rover the perfect car for senile old farts . My son has a TZ190 even thats as slow as hell.

 

stick a t16 in there they go good on track as well

this one runs 270 hp

Was that video above filmed on a calculator? Couldn't even see the time!

 

I agree with wilky drop a t16 in there just dont run anymlre than 12psi on a standard bottom end.

 

my mate had a zr 120+ on a 54 plate with about 60k nothin but trouble he hated it that much he drove it into his brick wall loll scrapped it and got a a3 tdi

 

The one I went in had no where near 120bhp! I'd have been surprised if it had 90! They're either all shit, or suffer from a common problem which robs a load of power!

 

If someone said i could get a chip to make it 130 bhp i think it would be a great car!

 

Think you've hit the nail on the head there!

A lad tried to 'race' (I use that term loosely as a horse and cart would have given him a run for his money) me up a dual carriageway (up to 70 officer) in one of those mg zr things, gave it the big 'un, and even me in my little 100bhp fiesta pulled away from him, and after 2 roundabouts, he was no where to be seen.

For some reason all the owners of them round here think they're the bollocks, all young lads that think they've got the fastest car in the world, really is strange. Gets on my tits when I'm sitting at 30 in a 30 and they feel the need to sit up my arse trying to egg me on! Although, granted that's not just mg drivers lol.
