I recently lent my 03 plate 135 TF to my son. He returned it and called me to say the recent upgrades have made “a complete transformation”. What were they? MS Slick shift Stage 1 black diamond clutch MS clutch release arm Full set of front and back MS SS subframe mounts. Gear change now firmer, much more precise and shorter throw. Reverse doesn’t jump out. Clutch sharper - can spin rear wheels from standing with extra revs Car feels firmer on its suspension especially at the rear. He commented that it drives like “a modern car”. I don’t entirely agree. It retains the charm it always had but these MS modifications make it closer to the car it should have been but for BMW accountants and limits of the MG-R parts bin.

An amazing transformation in the feel and ease of gear change. The drive home was carried out in a mixture of awe and excitement. I have had this on my wish list for many years and now I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Well done Mike, thank you for your commitment to making these cars what they deserve to be Regards, Robert

Assembly work is a little time-consuming, especially for the interior of the vehicle, as the central dashboard panel, central tunnel, SRS box, alarm module and T-bar have to be dismantled. There is, however, a problem in securing the three screws holding the bottom of the chassis. The holes didn't match those on my 2003 MGTF. I had to modify them. This has no impact on the quality of the final result. Once the work is done, the improvement in precision is incredible. It would be interesting if the kit came with the cable boots, which often have to be replaced. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
