Yep. The ECU is different so you can't just 'chip' it but overall the VIS is great as it's got a few more refinements over the standard NA. There are stories of the VIS (plastic inlet) unit failing but not had any problems with mine. The MAF seems sensitive so any rough running or loss of top end could mean a new MAF. Luckily these are much cheaper than the older MAFs (assuming you can still get them).
They are not particularly fast, but you can rev the nuts off them and have fun. Not too bad on fuel either.

Ooerr - tricky one. What distance back to your HA and cost it up for a trailer? You spend a few k on the Coupe then it snaps on the way home (prob unlikely but who knows) and that will kill your love affair with the car right from the start. Alternatively spend a few 100 to trailer to a coupe friendly garage to get it done pronto. Or if you have a mechanic mate take them along for a thorough inspection and opinion but ultimately it's your shout. Good luck

I drove mine back from the highlands of Scotland during Storm Doris with no belt change evidence in the 19 years previous to that point although I did inspect the belts as best I could and they seemed in good nick. She performed admirably.

How did you get on, Sheep’s? Been thinking about your Coupe buying today whilst pottering on my mg tf. Used to have a Vis back in the day. Green she was. Lovely sound. Hope you bought one.

Press the "Use Full Editor" button (bottom right-ish) then click on "Attachment Manager" link, then press "Select a file to attach" and using whatever "file / photo manager" app you have on your phone, select the picture you want, repeat for additional pics.
Note that pics are limited to 2Mb each so you may need to resize first.

Thanks, the problem I seem to have is that I can't drag the pics into the box. Select a file?

Yes, just select the file, then it should go back to the "select afile to attach" box and after a short while your uploaded pic file name should appear, add more or press ok
