Okay, I'm looking for a ZS180. This car must be not too expensive, reasonably low mileage, have good(ish) bodywork. I don't care if the seats are wrecked or if other bits such as the aircon are broken. I would prefer XPG, but any colour other that silver or yellow would be considered.

Tell you what Ralph.......you take my ZS180 with all the work that has been done on it by yourself and you know exactly what you are buying and you've driven it too and you sort me out an MGF. How does that sound? :D

They want £3995 for an 02 reg - they're having a giraffe!

£3995 is a wee bit high, i'd agree. I thought it was £2995. Oops-a-daisy.

especially as it isn't particularly low mileage or anything exceptional.
A few cheap ones on the bay of E right now. A coule for sub 3K buy it now.

Nah don't worry about it mate.......my ZS ain't going nowhere. No one wants it and I'd be mad to get rid of it.

MGF can wait for now.......let the ZS modding continue.

Yeah, Jim's talking about selling his ZS to get an F.:axe:

I already have a buyer for the engine from the ZS that I intend to buy. Just need to find the right car. Some of the ones mentioned so far look interesting. Keep 'em coming!:sheep:

Its over his budget I think and he doesn't want yellow.
Picky sod. Looks nice in my opinion.
Good power reducing cone fitted to it though. Its on the money too.

Variable Intake System

On the KV6 inlet manifold, or plenum sits two motorised valves, one operates the balance valve that controls the two plenum chambers. The other is the power valve, this operates 6 off butterflies within the plenum itself.

That's what gives the KV6 a kick at around 3.5k and more at over 6k, it's been so long since I have driven my 180 I can't remember :cry:

Ralph, i have a TB 180 hatch 51 plate with 62k i will be selling shortly for my uncle (he has moved to Dubi hence reason for sale)

Its tidy, scuff on rear bumper. Belts were done last year.
Nice powerflow zort system. Lowered 30mm
Would make a good project car.
He is after about £3k but very open to offers.
