My vehicle is still a work in progress. It started off as an abandoned vehicle in a impound lot. It was given to me as a birthday gift with a blown motor and automatic transmission. My old car has come along way from its abandoned roots, its now a 5 speed manual with a 7-MGE motor that was purchased with 30000 miles on it. Just goes to show you one man's junk is another man's treasure, and with alittle TLC nothing can become something great! The car itself has 218000 miles on it from the orignal blown engine. Dreams of twin turbo still are within me. Give me your suggestions page 1 is my car currently, page 2 is the bodkit im gonna buy. I don't know if I should go with a black paintjob or a blue like on page 2.

I recently done a few changes to the frontend of the car. I removed the stock fog lights, repaired the front lip, and re-primered the hood. Here are some new pics. Check out the ones above and tell me if im on the right track with the look of the car, and if you like it.
I was inducted into a racing team called "street*tech"
This is my current engine before the (cold-air) intake its the 7-MGE the basic non turbo model. The only things that i have added are bosch platinum +2 sparkplugs and high current wireset
I have finally added an intake thanks to the help of killatactics. here are the pix.
I got a (Cold-air) intake installed instead of the short-ram intake. (New Pix Comming Soon).
I've changed my mind again Instead of going with the (1jze)i've decided to purchase a 7mgte and have it fully built and modified before i do the swap. so once the modifications to the engine are completed then i'll do the swap so i don't have to modify it afterwards, and i'll still be able to drive my car while the mods are completed.
Even without a turbo my car can keep up with the best of them.
I also have Corbeu Cr1 racing bucket seats and 4 point volo harnesses inside (gotta be safe at high speeds)
I have a spw tachometer and gauges to check the engine status.
This is one of the four prime rims that came with the car when i purchased it. they're ok when their clean, but i still want to sell them, and buy new ones.
I recently installed buttons and switches in my cetner console for different functions on my ride.
Originally the car came with an automatic 4 speed transmission. That had to go right away the first conversion i had done was the 5-speed manual and pedal kit. haven't regreted it yet.
