Helloooo guy's n' gals Had my MP165 on for a meager 3 months or so now.... had loadsa fun n' still lovin it! Now enuff chitty chatty stuff I am seriously thinking of joining the MR200 club ..... but still thinking!!! I have a couple of points that need clearing up and if the "folks that know" could help that would be great!! ok here goes My ,apart from the 165 upgrade,is standard. So my first question is would the car require further upgrades to the braking system or can the standard brakes handle the MR200 upgrade? My second question regards the dreaded fuel M.P.G. obviously if driven hard it likes to drink but if driven normally-ish lol what would be a realistic average M.P.G. be from the MR200? My third and final question, if I do have the MR200 upgrade would I need to install a toilet roll holder for unsuspecting passengers?

Can't answer any of your questions, but if you did get it, I would probably be cheeky and ask to come down for a passenger ride?

1.standard brakes are more than up for the job of MR200. Mine are factory brakes from new, still !

2. 8 miles each way to work, lots of stop starts, all 30mph apart from, one mile 40mph, 1.5 miles 50mph, no revving, all short shifting, 31.2mpg.

3. maybe when you let it run in 3rd

this is how I would rate MPG, first being best:-


1.165
2.standard
3.200
4. 185

lowerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it =]

Im really tempted by the MR200, I will however, be waiting until Mountunes next coffee meet thingy and make a decision then!

I say do it if you can afford it, youll love the noise it makes

standard brakes are up to the job as long as you dont track it

the mpg is fantastic on my journey to my old work of 30 miles each was cruising at 70mph i saw 30-35 most days, as for booting it, round brands hatch i used a full tank in 116miles 11mpg

and trouser accidents are common, just ask tom when i took him out for a spin

Thanks guy's was expecting worse M.P.G. thats not too bad No brake upgrades either keeping the overall cost down Have been in touch with MT HQ and price is accceptable for the upgrade....all that remains now is a quick check with my insurance on price of adding the mods Thanks for the replies/info guy's top bunch!!! Will keep you posted on any further developments

@Killeruk if project goes ahead you are quite welcome to come down for a spin

been on to insurance today to find out the extra cost for the mods......apparently this has to be checked by the technical department of the underwriters before they can tell me what the extra cost will be,phone back in 7 days they said call centre in back end of Afghanistan I suspect

What a joke

How ridiculous. 7 days pfft

@igotnobrakes there are MT pro dealers nearer to than the MT HQ.jackson ford in Warwickshire is probs the closest and Evans halshaw in Blackpool,they defo do the upgrade,talk to Simon at Evans halshaw,he'll sort you out

You might be better shopping around with your insurance fella. I know one company, green flag? The premium there doesnt go up with any of the Mountune kits!

They are a nice bunch at hq and make you lotsa tea too lol
