I'm liking the build and very interested in your progress.
Appreciate probably the best handling mod will be an aftermarket LSD but thats too expensive for me right now so would like your comments on the handling mods you have made so far as personally i'm not moving on to stage2 / 2+ until I can get more of my power to the tarmac rather than losing it through wheel spin & hop or just the car feeling unsteady (I know the ditch finder tyres I have at the moment contribute to some of this!)
What are your thoughts on;
Sportlines (assume just springs) ?
Whiteline ALK ?
THS Torque Mounts? (assume these are the ones you have - http://www.thsperformance.co.uk/product/Engine_Torque_Mount_%28Dog_Bone%29_THSFR3MK5-DB)
Powerflex Inner Wishbone bushes (assume you did front and rear?)?
Appreciate they all probably going on (or went on) together so difficult to tell in isolation.
Are you considering front/rear ARB's too?
Sorry for all the questions! - What HPFP did you go with in the end. I have read on these forums that the KMD and Autotech ones are either seizing or failing and that the APR one is the route to take but at 600 quid thats silly surely even if they are bullet proof on the BTCC cars with no reported faults!
Cheers
I have Sportlines, WALK and VF Engineering engine mounts so might be able to help you before Pov comes on. I put on the Sportlines first and must say they made a real difference - the car just felt planted in corners and the body roll was significantly reduced. I then put on engine mounts (side+gearbox) then WALK. The car took on a new more meaningful sound and for me enhanced the driving experience. Running the power i do i still get wheelspin in the first 3 or 4 gears so the diff is a must have option if i want to make the most of my mods.
Are you just running the Sportline Springs mate or have you matched them to some new dampers?I have Sportlines, WALK and VF Engineering engine mounts so might be able to help you before Pov comes on.

is that the density mount you got pov, mine should be in now so should make a big differance. hopefully it doesnt increase noise to much over the BSH mounts. they make so much differance, allens car hardly wheel hops atall now
love your car mate! ill give myself 2 too 3 years until my mg blows up then ill get one on finance lol
Why? Because it was a Corsa? Bear in mind it is a completely stripped and lightened track prepared Corsa with 280BHP and NOS.
lend me your MG for one weekend and I will speed up the process for you
Thanks for the compliment
