Nothing special really......but here is a picture of my ZS180 now its actually running nicely......hopefully she will behave herself until I have some money to give her some more TLC on the engine and bodywork front......

Big thanks go out to Executive Motoring Services for fixing my car up to a driveable state.

Nice Jim, about time we got to see the beaut! Pity it was so dark and damp last night as well!

[Boot Hill Bandit]

All I got to do now is get that touring car spoiler fitted......the bonnet bulge and my induction routed......get some better wheels for it.....get new tyres....suspension.....brakes....LMFAO!

Nah in all seriousness.......I love my car to bits......I don't regret spending all that money on her as long as she doesn't fall to bits.

The exhaust is a Piper cat back with a 3" tailpipe outwardly rolled......those in the know will know what I mean when I say I booted it through Medway Tunnel and everyone moved out the way.......god its so loud! hehe

I wanted Ralphs alloys the Toora Canarally 17 x 7.5 but I would be 1 short......I need just one more......

Other than that I want the mk2 'straights' for my car and I can then sell my wheels for £100 and I'm sorted.

I need to get all those bloody dents out as well really......they are bugging me now quite a lot......and fix the bonnet latch :hmmm:

Cheers Shroon! :thumbsup: I need to give her a damn good clean all over before my Norway trip.......Karen has already told me off for having a 'dirty' car interior LMFAO! I am so pleased she finally sorted too.........I can't thank the garage enough for fixing her I really can't.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You are sooooooooooo funny dude! *hides in shame*

Yes the monitor is fine now *touches wood* and the woman indoors has been banned from my room.....again..... I bet she was trying to find out about Karen really........ bless her...........FAT CHANCE! :look:

[Smokey]

its a nice colour, and a rarety on here, was considering a red mk2 but one never came up at the time I was buying!

[Boot Hill Bandit]

That would be quite cool actually......convert the rear of my ZS to a mk2 (I prefer a mk2 rear) and leave the mk1 front......all resprayed in Solar Red.....

I need to find another cash point lmao!

Smitten Jim

[Smokey]

you need to rob several cashpoints!!

[Boot Hill Bandit]

Well I wish I had some more money......I have lots of plans....and I hate going to work.

Hopefully the karting parts and spares plan will work for me......then I can spend all my time with Karen and down the garage spending money which is much more fun :thumbsup:

The Red Devil looking a little shinier and cleaner amongst other things.

Probably my favourite photo of the year so far.......an icey, snow covered Brooklands with me waiting at the bottom of Test Hill before I let rip tyres smoking :laugh: Car looks so shiney.......The Express Valeter cleaned it for me the night before :D

Jim

[markyzs180]

Looks great Jimbo....I want a sunroof!!! Might have a webasto canvas rollback fitted.....anyone else thought of this??

[Witnes$]

Looks sweet. Cant believe you had it valeted then went racing bet is was loppy afterwards:slap:

[dave87]

I think i like your car Jim better than i like my own lol.

[Boot Hill Bandit]

Myself and The Express Valeter went over the car with 'Tar Remover' as since owning it there was tar spots everywhere including the roof and boot recess :huh: once that was done the bottom half of the car was done with some 'Colour Restorer' and the bumpers were done quite a few times with this........followed by 'Super Resin Polish' and then 'Aqua Wax'.......car looked immaculate going to Brooklands......easy to keep clean as well. 'Shampoo and Conditioner' wash always brings my car up nice and shiney now.

I don't mind getting the car a little dirty and damaged......I bought it for trackdays to replace my defunct racing team and it is filling in that gap quite nicely. Still like to keep it clean and tidy her up a bit when I can though.

Examples..........shredded my tyres, broke a foglamp and cooked the brakes..........now has new Avon ZZ3s and big brake conversion on Friday.......I will get another 'early' foglamp from ebay :yes:

Stained the front seats with.......well........:look: they are dirty.......so today......I have just collected my new Red Monaco seat covers from EMS :)

I love The Red Devil to bits..........she always puts a smile on my face when I feel down.......simple as that :yes:

Fair play! Mines for he daily drive, wish I could use mine it that way but funds definatley will not allow. I do hope to someday thats if fuel is still available and the prices dont go crazy.

Its where the Zed should be on the track, bet its so much fun.

Saw the seats covers advertised earlier, good prices to members!

It is a lot of fun taking my ZS on track but I am so picky about how I like things driving on the limit that I will have to upgrade parts as and when I can. I hope to be able to hustle The Red Devil around the circuit quicker than what anyone else ever could.

Yep.........Ralph really has gone to town on the pricing for the Monaco seat cover sets as well as the Alcantara........they are very low priced to forum members so big thanks Ralph :bow: I shall look forward to changing my covers in The Red Devil :yes:
