I have had these bits on my ebay watch list ever since we chatted about it on RT.

All added as a guide and i'll make a final evaluation of what I will need before buying and double check
they are the exact suitable items I need and the best prices.

35mm2 battery cable are you starting 2 rovers

Love the 220 tho my fav R8 on any of the forums Vinny

[Mr Teddy Bear]

Nice thread, keep the pictures and commentary going Vinny!

Some more back ground on those front brakes would be interesting? I'm always aware that the standard brakes are a liability especially on the Mway.

So the brakes

They are a 326mm mk1 RS Focus front disc redrilled to 4x100 and they have a mm taken from the centre bore to match the rovers.

The calipers are a brembo 4 pot from the 3.0V6 406 coupe

Plus a steel adapter plate and 4 bolts some washers and small spacers

It’s a great kit that was once a group buy on Rovertech, minus the calipers

I do have a spare set of the steel adapters if anyone thinks they could get them copied, maybe a group buy on here of 5 or 10 sets if anyone else wants this conversion.

You can get discs redrilled for around £125 which includes purchase via mtec

The calipers are pot luck £50 to £150

Rebuild kit price is £60 easy job

Braking is superb

So took a few more pictures

Current Interior shot, needs a vacuum, not been on the road in so long still has remains of tax disc holder . Also the gearknob was in my old 216GTi, wish I had another original leather one. That will be replaced, for now its fine



Genuine mats I picked up a few years ago



MGF interior mirror



Vibratech mounts



Land Rover 300 tdi master cylinder with normal screw top! You can see the two new lines I had to run to fit this



Issues to sort

So a few things to sort, this was in a similar condition when I bought the car in 2010 and I rubbed it down and touched it up, it will need doing again this summer, I guess its a normal spot on the top of the front door?



3 Random dents above the door, again here when I bought the car, but when I have the roof re sprayed I will have this sorted aswell, its not noticable as such as its a white car, no idea how such damage can occur



Not sure if you can see, smack in the middle on the ridge, a pin hole!

I knew I could smell coolant, this is annoying as I imagine I wont be able to buy this individually, may have to get a 90 degree part from ASH hoses and cut to suit



The engine bay needs a good clean , tbh the whole car does but as im still working on it just gave it quick wash. Its getting there, just these little issues.

Also got the handbrake adjusted properly, another job off the list

[Vinny1979]

Bremob's before the rebuild - 2017



One build day last year



Rear during rebuild - Nov 2018 - Spring was rotated after this, may swap springs mind as unsure on quality





Gearbox - Summer 2018



Got this mk2 zr dash knocking about, may look at installing it after the summer with the mk2 switches



Agreed Racing at the garage, my zs as opposed to the r200

[ROVER Cabby]

More good progress.

Mk2 Dash will freshen it up a bit bud.

[Vinny1979]

My new tyres arrived today finally



Also mocked this up for my youtube channel I have started with my buddies,



If anyone cares its called Agreed Racing and will have Cadwell action added from the 220 shortly, some Cadwell stuff on there, only been up a week
