MG ZR T16 Turbo VK53BWD
* Engine had new ARP head stud kit, bearings and rings about 10,000 ago
* Brand new GT28RS .64 was fitted about 10,000 miles ago
* Radtec alloy radiator was fitted about 5,000 miles ago
* Tickford turbo pistons and rods
* Toyosport front mounted intercooler
* Alloy throttle to manifold block
* Snake head downpipe
* Over boost chip
* Cone air filter
* Collins performance twin piston dump valve
* Battery relocated to Boot
* New clutch and clutch cable in January
* Gearbox is fitted with steel caged bearings and Type B Limited Slip Diff
Chassis:
* ZR160 Struts with Xpower Diesel lowering Springs
* Good ridge stainless braided brake lines all round
* 620ti front brake calipers with recent padgid discs and pads
* ZR160 rear disk brakes with Black Diamond grooved disks and EBC red stuff pads
* Goodridge Braided Brake Hoses all round
*Magnex Oval back box and de-cat
Misc.
* BRM Gear Knob
* Stack Boost Gauge and pillar pod
Since the new GT28RS was fitted it has been ran at 12psi I had a coolant issue (radiator leaked) and it overheated. Got a radtec replacement and have been running it since. Although there's a coolant to combustion leak so head gasket will need doing to be perfect. Engine wise that is.
I'm essentially wanting to break the car but would like to sell all as one because it has no tax (well till end of feb) no mot and body work isn't great the N/S wheel came off on the motorway.
To get it road worthy it needs a set of alloys, camcover gaskets, head gasket doing and the rear (gearbox end) crank seal.
For the lot to be taken away I'd like £1000 if I break it I'll get more. Just need rid as its sat on the drive.
