    Default Small World - MG Germany

    I do a bit of work in Germany and after speaking to a client Ive known for a few years it turned out that he was a bit of a MG fan (has a tastefully modified ZR and has a Rover 800 coupe and 400 daily driver to boot) We clearly got talking and he has kept me up to speed with some of his friends who also run some MG meets. Thought it would be good to post a couple of pics as their last meet was a few weeks ago and a ZT supercharged turned up (does anyone know this car?). Looks very nice. I plan to head over in the future at some point in the T.

    if it is that car, it wasn't Dreadnought and sadly it went bang on the autobahn due to tHe remap not being able to cope

    Dreadnought map even takes account of autobahn use.

    I have to admit that I was looking on Dreadnoughts website today, it is very tempting, any sensible reasons why not?

    There are challenges with the Supercharger supply, so at the moment there are no more Dreadnought orders. (It is all in the members section)

    They can be fitted in your home garage (Using a few spanners ) the challenge is the Mapping.
    There are other firms that can play with ECUs, but the mapping by Brian and Sean (SHM) (that took weeks to get right) is the one (so far) recommended for the Kenny Bell unit.

    It does transform the car
