Re: My turbo coupe

Cheers, I used to have a blue one, but they're too common, red's much better.

It's quick too, 220BHP and 168MPH flat out!

Re: My turbo coupe

168????? You sure

[turbocoupe]

Re: My turbo coupe

Apparently, I've only taken it to 145MPH, but that was about 2k below the redline.

The gearbox on the 220 NASP will take it to 150, and the 220 turbo on to 168 according to the spec I read a few months back.

Re: My turbo coupe

i thought the turbos topped out around 150, not that ive taken a huge interest admittedly.

Re: My turbo coupe

What's up with yours saxspeed?

You might be right about 150, I've not really looked into it that much, just remember reading that the turbo had a higher top speed than the NASP, anyways, it gets there very quick and 150 is enough for me!

Re: My turbo coupe

yeah, wasnt havin a dig mate, wish mine would hit 150!

Re: My turbo coupe

You wouldn't if you had the same brakes as the 1.4 model!

Major oversight on this car, the brakes are crap, they use the same ones on the whole range 1.4 through 2.0 turbo.

I'll get my MG brakes fitted soon though.

Re: My turbo coupe

the turbo decided to die on me,so a nice new one is being fitted with some new other things, can't wait to get it back,i've heard the story's about the brakes too,i've drilled and grooved discs on it,full magnex,k+n and a dump valve,and i love it lots.

Re: My turbo coupe

K&N
Strutbrace
Koni adjustable suspension
17" deep dish wheels
Dump valve
GBE boost valve
Samco hoses
Boost gauge
Mk3 dash conversion

It's like s##t off a stick at 12psi!

Re: My turbo coupe

it's not much to look at,needs some body work done to it,the bloke that had it before me lived right at the beach so it had 3 yrs of sea weather to put up with,also got 17" oz 6 spokes,and haven't a clue how much power it pushing.
