[theboynoz]

and the hat i have apparently gained by buying one of these cars LMAO

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/2011-10-26143258.jpg

First to go are the wipers, they just smear everything! So flat blades on front and normal replacement rear..... Next a ruddy good clean and polish and valet inside! Also polish the wheels so the shine again!

[theboynoz]

Oh.... And a set of black badges with a silver MG outline! Hopefully they will look tasteful!

[stamford]

Got a sunroof too, looks very nice. TB always cleans up well.

[Enright]

Re the windscreen wipers, have you tried Rain-X? Most car accessory shops sell it, and I swear by the stuff.
When freshly applied you don't need wipers above 30mph, and on the odd occasion that you do use them it makes their travel much smoother. That might eliminate the smearing for less cost.
Re the badges, I think you're right and it will look tasteful. If you go to theMGZR.co.uk then there's a guy on there who goes by the name Dazzer who produces custom badges. I've had a rear Mk2 MG one off him (which is oooge!) and it looks better than OEM.

[ZS-GIXER]

Looks very nice mate, I'll keep an eye out for you driving round Notts

[Bobdope2002]

your a chav for driving a MK 1 ZS well i never theyres a few Chavs on here then were gonna be as worse as the ZR crew Woop Woop

[Ritchy]

looks smart v6 skirts, fogs, and itll look awesome and lower it a bit:D thats all id do to a mk1 if i had one i think

[peterzs]

Cars looking good, got Aero flat wipers on mine.

Best thing I ever changed, had new Bosch wipers, rubbish all streaks. Put the Aero's on and streak free, clear screen.

[theboynoz]

Well like I say, no real mods, just subtle changes and keeping it tidy and more importantly keeping it running lol.

Flat blades on.

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/2011-10-28172159.jpg

Quick Wash, still wants claybarred and polished etc

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/2011-10-28172208.jpg

Also fitted the first badge to the front, a black background with silver edges so i need to get a pic of those.

[tinyszs]

Looking sweet mate

[zsserbia]

Looking good, we all love to see a ZS receiving some love :lovers:

[theboynoz]

Righto, decided i have already had enough of the 6 disc changer and tape (yes TAPE) head unit! But i also decided to remove it properly so i can let someone else get some use out of it..... This meant removing trim :) my favourite pastime!

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/2011-10-29144115.jpg

Whilst it was apart i figured i should at least clean it there too.... lol

When i get a weekend free again i may have to strip most of the interior and fully valet the car, then i will be happy....

[theboynoz]

I fitted both badges (just stickers really) as the old ones were sun faded.

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/2011-10-30160005.jpg

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/2011-10-30155951.jpg

I think I might get some domed badges made in the same style....

Fitted, at last, the iPod head unit with the iPod hidden inside the dash, for now.....

[Dan1971]

Good job with the badges mate - :thumbsup: and welcome to the forum.

[theboynoz]

Thanks dude, just testing the water so to speak with the badges, and as i like em i am asking a guy i know to make some up for me, he has done a lot of decals in the past for me and his work is fantastic.

[theboynoz]

The ZS is back at the garage to get that good old handbrake fixed and I also seem to have acquired a bloody flat nearside rear! Damn.

Although I may be getting a proper job done on the body by a mate that normally valets cars like Rolls Royce's etc and at ?30 I think i have a good deal!!?

[Taphouse]

Top work, its all about the little touches. Looks great!

[mg zs waz]

Really nice car there mate

[theboynoz]

cheers, should have some new centre caps for the wheels soon and some (slightly tacky?) dust caps too with new MG logos in them.....Then it should be a case of keeping her clean and tidy till i can afford the wheel refurb next year.

[peterzs]

Hope the dust caps arnt the cheap ones off ebay!!!

I bought some when I first got mine, was warned that you needed stainless ones or they would rust on. I put a bit of grease on the threads and it wasnt till one of the tyres looked a bit soft and I went to check the pressure, that I thought any more about them. (I know you should check weekly/monthly, but....)

The caps were well and truly stuck on, in the end I used mole grips to hold the valve and a spanner on the valve cap. Took quite a bit of effort to get them off.

Back to plastic dust caps now.

They did look good though.

;);)

[Dav]

Like the look of the badges, subtle :-)

And a £30 valet? Sign me up lol!!

[theboynoz]

;);)

Yeah i think they are proper ones, they are the so called anti theft Richbrook ones....

And that Valet might not happen now, bit skint until after X-Mas now, better get my cloths and cleaning gear out before it snows!

Think I will also be getting the badges made properley too as they have grown on me and I agree they are quite subtle.... Can let everyone know if they turn out ok and where i got them

[theboynoz]

Had a quick go at Photoshop again...... Think i need to take a refresher course

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/LowSmootherDeAerialedDeTangod.jpg

Removed the aerial, smoothed the side repeater, lowered, de tango'd the front lights.....

[ZS Phil]

Cant beat a slammed ZS! Then again I am slightly biased :D. Looks like you have an awesome base to work from anyway.

[Enright]

Cant beat a slammed ZS!
...apart from round corners, over speed bumps, in multi-storey car parks, down country lanes, in insurance premiums... :fishing:

[ZS Phil]

...apart from round corners, over speed bumps, in multi-storey car parks, down country lanes, in insurance premiums... :fishing:


around corners- frankly you would have to be driving like a sphinctor on public roads in order for the difference to come into its own. Im not convinced lowering will upset the handling unless the road is very bumpy.

over speed bumps- Im yet to scrape on one.

in multi-storey car parks- No problem.

Down country lanes- Ill give you that one but most of the time Im on A roads / the m6.

Insurance premium- Extra £30 per year so not too fussed.

Only real problem I have is a small amount of rubbing on full lock but that will be sorted when I roll the arches and make a custom arch liner.

Thing that wins it for me is simply the looks :devil:, just look at it ^^^^

[theboynoz]

To be honest i am pretty chuffed with how it handles, even on the accelera tyres it is a damn site better than the KA and even the old 106 quiksilver i had..... But the MK2 XR2 is still the best although i did drop that 60mm. Not going to do owt to this one if i can help it, just keep it tidy and running sweet! lol

[theboynoz]

Righto, so the mods have been subtle and so far only done the Induction kit (Green) and replaced the sh1te tyres with some Falkens.... They'll do, also had all four wheels treated as two had lost air, one as i started going round a roundabout, sideways!!

Next on the hit list is the brakes, the woefull pi55 poor excuse for brakes that i have on this car......They are being replaced with some Brembos tomorrow, weather permitting, but ONLY the discs and pads, not the calipers (shame!).

Next up, domed badges in the style of the stickers i have fitted and I will find and fix the small leak in the boot....Maybe a zr160 throttle body to see what happens. Then wash it, use some G3 (or similar), polish, and some genral TLC.

[theboynoz]

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/DSC01148.jpg

A few from Feb.....

[ZS Phil]

Looking good, plans sound good too.

[theboynoz]

Also replaced the rad, as it had several holes in it, with a Nissens Rad. Sorted that out.

[theboynoz]

Update:

The mystical box......

The Persuaders....

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/The%20Zed/DSC01415.jpg

I know these do't look too bad, but the noise and lack of stopping power forced my hand!

Done!

http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu152/theboynoz/The%20Zed/DSC01450.jpg

[theboynoz]

Oh yeah, the cost.... Not sure if anyone else has done the Brembo disc/pad job yet, but this has cost £120 front and rear all in!

Fitted by me.

Needed a new tool (caliper wind back tool) £26 on trade and disc cleaner £4, ran out you see....

£150 total

Local (trusted) garage want that to supply and fit rear brakes only..... No brainer then isn't it?! Lol

Next up is the domed MG badges, custom made for me, but may be able to sort out more if these look good and there is interest..... Will check with the site owners first though.

[andy-81]

looks good mate bit ocd on the cleaning parts lol

[theboynoz]

Not gone OCD enough in my opinion lol, I used to spend entire weekends cleaning inside the wheel arches and under the bonet!!! Not so much since I became a dad though! lol

[peterzs]

Looking good, have to let us know how they stop, after bedding in for a bit!!!

[theboynoz]

Will do, my mate has a set on his Accord and they stop it very well! Will be interested to see how I find them, especially as they will be on front and back....

On a seperate note do you know who to contact about promoting the domed badges, is it you Pete? as I should have mine finished soon and on the car next week. I'll take some pics and post them asap too.

[Lukeus101]

Speak to Dazzer on here mate. Does a lot of good work at very good prices. Runs a company called Locking Vinyl :)

[peterzs]

As Luke says, Dazzer, or Locking Vinyl does our site stickers and will do the ZS badges.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[theboynoz]

Right, I have heard of this guy and the company but I have already got some domed badges on the way from a different source and just wanted to see if I can prmote this guy or if I would be stepping on anyones toes? Obviously I do not want to just start a thread going on about badges and stickers etc, so thought I should run it past site owers such as Pete.

Does Dazzer also do the domed style badges do you know? Think i might check his stuff out again.... thanks

[peterzs]

Yep, does domed badges, for centre caps, front and rear MG badge, all to any colour.

As he is a Site Trader we would always want to promote his goods first.

He did Smokeys Track car and has had good feedback for all his work.

He is a guy that you can work with and I'm sure if you want a new design, he would be able to come up with something.

:smile2::smile2::smile2:

[theboynoz]

A few more pics, the last few are of the new badges during there creation...

:smile2::smile2::smile2:

Aha, is that the site track car by any chance, i like that!!

I will leave it for now then as he is established here and all that, but if anyone asks me i will let them know where i got mine made if that is ok? If not let me know, last thing I want to do is take the mic as i am a relativeley new member.

Thanks for the heads up.

[peterzs]

Pics look good, sounds fair enough.

[theboynoz]

Hey Pete, can i put a thread in the recommended suppliers section? That wouldn't be oversteping any lines would it?

[peterzs]

Cant see anything wrong in that, if you are happy with it all.

[theboynoz]

Yup, will do then, I have used this guy for a few years now and been happy with all his work.

Ta

[theboynoz]

[peterzs]

Love the Site Stickers.

Best of luck with the garage clear out!!!!

:yes::yes::yes: :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[theboynoz]

Cheers dude, thanks for the stickers too!

[Jay-ZS+]

Like those badge, where did you get them from. I got some carbon ones off ebay and they look really nasty. Had a SV xpower one somewhere but Ive no idea what Ive done with it!

[theboynoz]

Hey Mate,

Getting the badges from Adam, see here Galpin Auto Vinyls (http://dev.galpinautovinyls.co.uk/). They are not yet on his site as he has only made these for me so far, but if you email he can make them up for you. He has done mine with a carbon background and silver MG outlline, almost identical to the stickers currently fitted (and in the pictures) but carbon not just black.....

Should get them tomorrow, and fit them straight away, unless the postman turns up after I have left for the babyshow at the NEC....

[dazzer]

Love the trophy blue zs , I do indeed do the domed badges and centre caps ,I can do them to pretty much any design and colour choice.

[theboynoz]

Love the trophy blue zs , I do indeed do the domed badges and centre caps ,I can do them to pretty much any design and colour choice.

yeah i did wonder about prices for the alloy wheel centres and steering wheel centres, i posted in one of your threads the other dayabout it if that helps?

[dazzer]

Centre caps and steering wheel badge ( I take it is the large round one like on the zrs) will be £23 including delivery

[theboynoz]

Centre caps and steering wheel badge ( I take it is the large round one like on the zrs) will be £23 including delivery

Ok, cool, it is the large ones for both the alloy wheels and steering wheel, will get in touch after payday me thinks, thanks

[theboynoz]

Looking good, have to let us know how they stop, after bedding in for a bit!!!

Pretty much bedded in now, and they stop very well indeed....Still going easy for a few miles, but had to stop quickly the other day and it stopped on it's nose! Very pleased! :)

[peterzs]

Good result.

:):):)

[theboynoz]

Built and fitted a false floor in the boot, decided I was fed up with the carpet sagging, so made an mdf floor... Quite pleased with the result. May re-make it with thicker wood or just leave it depending how it bears up.

[theboynoz]

Finally an update, of sorts....

1) Finally got around to getting the airbag light off, I cheated as the seats are staying in for now, and removed the bulb

2) Does anyone else think my MPG is shocking? Only a 120 with an induction kit fitted..... Maybe time for a full service!

3) Was getting ready to show and shine in 3 weeks time at Harrogate and the neighbours kid decided it was time to throw stones everywhere, and yes the big one hit and dented the bonnet! Won't be fixed in time for the show, so will have to polish the feck out of the rest of the car!

Now, where was that leak again......

Been thinking of a mopre economical city type of car, seeing as ALL my driving these days is in the city centre, but each time i start looking i go for a quiet drive around the back roads on the edge of town and even there the car comes alive again, seriously only ever had this much fun in a car once and that was a FORD and about 11 years ago!

[Zippy Saloon]

25.7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you got a hole in the tank? :confused:

[theboynoz]

Haha, so it's not just me thinking that is bad, what does everyone else get in the 1.8?

[andy-81]

about 35 only get lower than that if i'm hooning it!! On a good run i'm getting the low to mid 40's

[mattie007]

How much were the domed badges and are they a perfect fit?

[theboynoz]

about 35 only get lower than that if i'm hooning it!! On a good run i'm getting the low to mid 40's

Damn i should try a service and then a different foot instead of my lead one! lol

How much were the domed badges and are they a perfect fit?

I will have to find out the price, I got them at a 'special rate' as they were the first ones he did but as I also gave the wrong measurements they were slightly too big. He is going to do them again for me as i forgot to give him the correct details! I am a plonker!

I do know that Locking Vinyl does them as well if you want to also try them?

[theboynoz]

Righto chaps, after being about an inch away from buying a new car at the weekend 2 things happened;

1) I got a new insurance quote, and have saved several hundred pounds!
2) I drove the zed! (Enough said)

So.....Whilst getting ready to pop the standard airbox back in i have been thinking, obviously the servbice is overdue and will be done after i get the rear brakes fitted next week (about time! only had them for about 2 months now). Also thinking a ruddy good polish is in order, some clay barring and attention to paintwork followed by some temporary wheels.... Required for a short time due to project LOUDWheels. Not giving the game away too early, but i think a few members on here and ZR forum know what i am planning!

Anyone in the Notts area got any wheels i can borrow, or buy cheap with tyres? I should only need them for a few weeks whilst prepping and spraying, depending on weather, and not fussed about tyres as long as they are legal and fit the 120!

Otherwise i will have to take several weeks, which is acceptable, whilst spraying a wheel at a time..... i like this idea as it will make the car look funny after each weekend! :)

Anyways guys, just a note to say'Sorry, but it looks liek i am staying for a while!' lol

[theboynoz]

Second thoughts, should i just buy some new wheels (straigts) and paint them, then swap over the tyres afterwards?

Maybe that makes more sense.....

[Maxfly]

Good stuff, a right result then eh:D
Wheels sound like they will be an interesting project:D You could buy another set of straights and swap tyres over then clean up your original set and seel them on to hopefully cover your outlay for the replacment set. Could work out well if you find some for sale at a bargain price, an that are definately round not square haha. :D

[theboynoz]

Ok, so wheels are on the back burner again..... Mainly as i found a slightly annoying issue with the brakes, and had to replace a caliper at the same time as the rear discs and pads! Damn it! So, standard wheels for a while longer yet!

On the plus side this sticky caliper may be the cause of the higher MPG.... So after a few weeks and a service we shall see how many miles i can return to a tank!

[theboynoz]

Hmmmm, just had some quotes for the renewal too, and got it down almost £300 from last year! Not the biggest result though, did a quote for a 180 too, and that is only £40 a year more expensive! Hmmmm, next on the hit list may be a bigger engined Zed!

[theboynoz]

Must remember to do all the work on the car myself, can't afford to give away £160 when i can do the work and buy the part for £70!!! Damn that lack of time!

Next up a good service, anyone recommend a decent oil to use, i think i saw a site trader that has some good stuff.......

[JoeyTaffy93]

24.8MPG this month, that's it i am checking for a fuel leak, then servicing it today! Although i did pick up some diesel oil, instead of petrol D'oh!

Run the diesel oil for a couple of thousand miles then change it all again.. I've heard it cleans out the engine pretty well.

Don't hold me to that though!!

[theboynoz]

Not gonna bother mate, just off to get the right stuff now, then a good service (Oil, oil filter, air filter and airbox back in, fuel filter) as well as plugs and renewing the IACV and generally clearing out the mucky parts that are strangling the engine!

Might try a new thing too, not burning out the clutch, LMAO!

Oh, AND TAX!

[JoeyTaffy93]

Seems fair enough. :)

I've not had my ZS long and I'm currently doing a brim to brim test to see what I can get MPG wise. It's currently at the last quarter on about 250ish miles... But these gauges are damn awful!

[theboynoz]

Well mine is currently averaging 275 miles per tank, but that is normally 100% town driving so..... I get the same MPG as the V6 boys!

[JoeyTaffy93]

Oh right. This tank has been about 150 miles motorway and the rest rural with about 10 miles worth of town driving. The rest will be mostly rural too.

[theboynoz]

Well good luck with the MPG testing, you from down Redditch way?

[JoeyTaffy93]

Not far from Redditch. I'm in Evesham which is about 18-20 miles south of Redditch, takes me around half hour usually, sometimes a little less.

[theboynoz]

oh right, we should be moving that way as soon as we can sell our house in Notts.....If we sell it!

Anyways, service done, bloody fuel filter was a bitch, but changed and glad i did, the unused fuel that came out of it was brown! Oil dipstick says it is at the absolute max, so i shall see if it is sluggish tomorrow and drain half a litre or so if necesarry.

But overall well chuffed, was quite an easy job, only hampered slightly by the neighbours kids asking what every single thing did and my level of competence! LOL

[theboynoz]

Bad times, again, whilst cleaning the exhaust tailpipe tip as it was a chrome bit on the standard box i found that the box was making some noise....Some, baffle has disintegrated noise, and I set abpout removing the box....

Both bolts snapped and then it became apparent the box is foobarred so i need to find a new one, not too hard, or go to somewhere like Big City Tyres, as they make/fit powerflow. Basically, should i replace like for like or go get a stainless box made? Can't remember how much the boxes are made up, but i expect to spend a fair bit either way..... Damn it! Looked good after i cleaned and polished the tip too!

[theboynoz]

Oh yeah, and let's not forget to check the ARB on the rear whilst the box is out the way and it's in the air......... Oh, so the ARB is rusty as fook on both sides and the bushes and split/perished somewhat..... Still there, but defo need doing next and expalins a bit....

Best check the front asap!

[peterzs]

Got a Powerflow on my derv, cat back, they do give you a lifetime guarantee, just have to get it checked once a year and signed off.

:):):)

[theboynoz]

Hmmmmm, how much did that set you back? Can't remember how much the last one cost me, and rimmer bros is charging £159 just for the box, then i need the gasket and bolts! I have the rubber mounts lol.

And then fit it.....

[peterzs]

Think it was £250, was about 4 years ago, think s/s prices have gone up a bit now.

Saved a lot of hassle.

Went from this :-

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm214/peterzs/1.jpg

To this :-

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm214/peterzs/2.jpg

And even with a derv, it sounds better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:yoji::yoji:

[theboynoz]

Hmmm, i have powerflow and longlife suppliers/fitters near me so going to get a price tomorrow (right now it sounds like Plato's BTCC car), and then goign to ask at the auto factors near wok. At least i will get a gasket and bolts and refit the old box as a temp fix....

[theboynoz]

Have also found a stainless BB for about £110 incl. delivery though, so might just get that and be done with it

[theboynoz]

Anyone ever used these guys, or reckon they'd be any good or not?

Have also been quoted a rough price over the phone of £180 from Longlife in Notts, i assume Powerflow will be the same sort of price so what to do. Standard i have found all the parts for £80 ish....

Right, getting close to selling time and i am not getting another car to replace this one *he exclaimed*. Though i probably will till Feb time.

Just getting fed up with the car/traffic/frost etc, and the bus stop is at the end of the road....£50 a month for a few months till i get the motor bike, or keep on paying for the car?!?!

Anyone wanna make an offer? May pop this into the sale section in a week or so, i guess it depends when the baby arrives....

Best of luck with the sale, car looked good at Patley Bridge.

:-D:-D:-D

Thanks, need to sort the normal dodgy door handles, drivers one snapped last night (which means BOTH front ones need replacing!) and the passenger door lock server thingy, then just give her a ruddy good clean and polish and get her sold now.... Will be a shame to see her go, but needs must and aonce the baby is here i need to start saving where ever i can.....

[peterzs]

might put someone off, if they are thinking of buying!!!!!

Might be worth removing???????????

;););)

Not that I'm devious or anything.....

[theboynoz]

Meh, maybe....

i will be as honest as i can be, if anyone asks any questions.... A lot of love went into this car, and will be a shame to see it go, but we are nearly there...... I may get a runabout for the winter months and then a bike, or maybe even a real scooter for Feb onwards?

[theboynoz]

Righto, she is going up for sale! :( :( :(

[peterzs]

best of luck

[theboynoz]

Ha, i can't even make a sale thread as i am not a supporter anymore! Man that sucks!

If anyone wants to start one for me i'd appreciate it, not sure what forum rules are like regarding that, but if i cannot then i guess good old ebay, gumtree and pistonheads will have to suffice......

This sucks, wish i could keep it, but needs must and it does mean i get to ride a motorbike again! Been a while :)

[theboynoz]

So depressing, looks like the car may be going before Christmas although not sure yet as i have had offers from dealers around the £300-£400 max mark.....and so far on ebay the best offer is £500! I have spent more than that on tyres and the exhaust alone! FFS..... Only got it up at £750 anyway, and that has been reduced twice from £1200 start to £895 to £750........ Can't even bloody post an ad on here as i am not a paid up member anymore.... Bums! Well here is a cheeky link, mods please feel free to ask me to remove it, or remove it yourselves, PeterZS, let me know if i need to remove this.....

Do you still have this?

[theboynoz]

No mate, sold it for far too little but have now bought a little city car to knock about in, very sad times!

[theboynoz]

In fact, here is a pic of it...... slightly chavvy and small, very very small, but looks like some fun and a limited edition so....
