i doubt that turbo was actually plumbed in

@jimvtecgreece yep well said, plus the 75 turbo was small, and so were the L-series turbos. They were going to put a turbo in a ZR but it was only a 75 engine and they went bust. This turbo looks like its came off a truck or something. Typical Clarkson, a twat.

@gamewizard Yes

@hamster639 Yeah what a nob! He didn't even position it well, he just had it slung up there with the bonnet bent around it! ... wait a minute, do you perhaps think it was a joke? and that perhaps you look like a moron getting so worked up about such a little thing?

@davezetec

Gee, do ya think?

[gamewizard]

@hamster639

You're the twat if you believed this video was real. It's a joke, grow a sense of humour.

[gamewizard]

Anyone who thinks this video was anything but a joke is an idiot.

@UGStreetRacers Fair enough, I thought the change over was later and couldn't really tell from what I could see.

[UGStreetRacers]

@Goldsack not likely as its a bubble 200, the old R8 216 wedge shape did come with a honda single cam 1.6 or a rover twin cam 1.6, both very good but the rover engine was a bit quicker

[Goldsack]

@UGStreetRacers Wouldn't an S reg 216 have a Honda engine?

the mg zr is a fun car till the head gasket explodes i think thats clarksons point of the gag because every rover or mg ive ever driven once u go over 100mph the head gasket goes i think its a major design fault that rover never bothered fixing

[GazSuttonUK]

Clarkson is a fucking knob...
