Gents,

This is a custom spec oil feed and supercharger bearings, the car runs sweet as a nut and as you would expect is very fast. there would be some things i would do to guarante ultimate relability for track and road which would be forged pistons, but thats up to you, this car could also be made a nasp very easyly again.

3k? Bargain!
If I had the cash I'd be on my way to pick it up thats for sure, it's a 'one off' unique car thats for sure, good luck with the sale :)

oh iv had zs's for over 5 years iirc. to be honest i dont think i would regret it, i would miss it, and the drive as its somthing else supercharger whine and all that. but when its not getting used and probably wont be used correctly i just cant justify keeping it.
it was a rapid car as a nasp, and its bloomin quick now, sounds gorgeous and looks the part.

:hmmm: wonder when I'll get that insurance cheque..............she can have the Disco! :laugh:
another bargain on the go, i see this car as a future classic given the rarity of working superchargers on the zs ,can't beleive you are selling up after all the work you have put in mate.
All the best with the sale if only it was for sale last March. I would have taken it from you! Great car and amazing Price

Whats insurance like on it?
stamford
27-11-09, 09:42 PM
I was considering this as a possible depending upon the insurance payout but reckon it won't be practical for everyday use. Bit daft when I have a ZS already sitting here waiting for me to track it. Decisions, decisions! Keep it Ross!

*runs from missus*
Oh i wish i could afford it, its lovely mate, im sure the right buyer will come along for you with the right money, just hold out for it, as you dont want it getting into the wrong hands, unfortunatly at that price it could easily, pitty the zeds have such a low sale rate, otherwise this car would be soooooo much more, WHAT A CAR 4 THE MONEY THO, best off luck

stamford
23-12-09, 07:47 AM
Bloody hell! For a second there I thought someone had upset you! :laugh:
Keep it Ross, selling it for that price is silly, okay for someone buying but not for you selling. I still would have it but the missus is against it, she wants her 'F'!
Supercharged_Z
23-12-09, 08:00 AM
i am keeping it now. tottaly the wrong time of year to sell anyway.
Well done Ross you know it makes sense to keep it.
Supercharged_Z
23-12-09, 02:04 PM

:yikes: what are you going to do now then? Do we know the new owner?
christ.
im actually a bit gutted now. this morning i decided right feck it il keep it.
and now im a bit gutted indeed.
the new owner isnt a member on here. however he will be!! hes over on the darkside on the forums
stamford
23-12-09, 02:14 PM
Seems to me as if you are in two minds what to do. Is it really worth selling it for such money? That's why I still have mine, don't really want to sell it, and if I did is it worth it? Might as well keep it and enjoy it for what it is worth.
Still, as long as you are happy with the outcome and being without a good friend ;)
Supercharged_Z
23-12-09, 07:09 PM
i am sad to sell it.
however it isnt what i wanted in a car and to be honest im not sure what i want.
all i know is it needs to be garaged, it needs to be tracked to realise its potential!!
a year ago the thought of going out to change a set of pads never bothered me, now i just cant be bothered.
i really am in two minds as to sell it or not, my mind says no, i have been a part of this charger/car for 4/5 years.
my heart deep down says its not right and it would only sit!!!
tough call!!
stamford
23-12-09, 10:36 PM
We've all been through that one Ross! I don't enjoy the manual labour like I used to, a sign of getting old and probably a change of job has this effect too.
However come April I would have had mine 5 years so I have kept mine for the reasons that I have regretted selling previous cars and vowed not to do it this time.
Still, you might regret it one day, but at this time it seems right. Later on you'll think differently.

well this is going today... feeling a bit sad lol....
havnt driven it since the kent meet either lol, wanted to take it out for a little spin but he paid to fast and its not worth the risk.

Hurry up and get your next toy that will soon take your mind off it. :)
Whos the lucky new owner? Are we still gonna see it around??
Supercharged_Z
31-12-09, 08:05 AM
the lucky new owner has joined here as i mentioned to him lol..
he is a track enthusiast, and has all the right plans for the car so yes you will see it around i think, potentially it couldnt of gone to a better person....
im trying to find a replacement, and to be honest i think im set on cheap and cheerfull, lol.. going to get a metro gti vvc, and do everything possible to it. and have fun in that!! was tempted by another ZS but i need to get away from them or il end up trying to replicate what i have just sold lol
stamford
31-12-09, 08:10 AM
Guess Talon will be your next port of call then! As they say 'the king is dad, long live the king!'
Supercharged_Z
31-12-09, 08:14 AM
yes iv been eyeing up there website. another potential option was a ibiza 20v turbo can be had for around £2500 thought they might be fun on track..
the main problem is i cant find a car!!! theres no good vvc metros for sale, i joined metropower about a week ago but they havnt activated my account yet despite sending them an email... so im still looking.. i have time and the moneys not going anywhere but its frustrating it would of been nice to tidy this up before back to work!!

31-12-09, 08:19 AM
