Mg zs 180 mk2 firefrost

[MG ZS STE]

For sale, my MK2 FIrefrost saloon. Car is a 180 with piper 270 cams and vernier pulleys. janspeed manifolds, complete system I think. Sports cat. Has a piggy back ECU. Shedist clutch hydraulics, lightned flywheel. Dimple and groved front discs, grey alcantara seats with rear head rests and the correct escutcheons.

Since owning I have replaced the thermostat, new plugs, oil and filter change, oil twice, green cottons air filter, gutted the resonator, fitted Diesel engine cover/splash guard, opened up fog light bezel and fitted finer black powder coated mesh behind it and to the front grill, lower stone guard grill and plasticoated the frame red to make it stand out, fitted catch tank with silicon hoses, fitted VIS indicators, both VIS working, power VIS ultimate power VIS as refurbed by Petet16 (RIP) powder coated the battery box, fitted OEM rear parking sensors, alpine head unit, upgraded rear component speakers, has a set of original grey MG matts and original MG front rubber over matts. Oh and completely rebuilt the front end from a same age same colour car. There's probably more but that's all I can think of for the moment.

Good bits, full 13 month MOT, no advisories. Goes well, stops well, done over 2000 miles in it in the last year and it's never let me down. Gears change is probably the best I've ever experienced in a 180. Sounds epic.

Bad bits, it is a cat C, no history with the car other than what I've done myself. Car does have an on going EML P0175 which relates to the bank 2 pre-cat lambda sensor. I've replaced the sensor but the code came back so I think it in the wiring. Will give you more info if interested. I just reset the code when it comes on and the car drives fine.

Would like £1200 ono

Belts?

Thanks James. Not sure why that is, perhaps admin/Sam can take a look?

Mileage is 55429. No history other than what I've done but assume belts due.

That is a lot of car for the money .....

It is, also just remembered the ratech splitter it has now.

Car is taxed and insured until 17/5. So until then any trial welcome, any trial. After that you will have to make do with a tuttle around the block. Too many ANPR cameras around the area to risk going further than that.

Hi I would be very interested in buyin this,did you do cams and flywheel yourself?or have u been told when u brought it?so have no receipts?if I buy it would be for the engine and the bits done to it u mentioned and put in my car.
So what is the piggy back ecu running?and I assume it plugs to ur standard ecu?
Thanks for ur time

[MG ZS STE]

Cams and other engine mods were done by the former owner. He could and probably would tell you all about it if you asked him. Known on here and other places as staccato. I have had the cam covers off and you can slearly see it's got the piper vernier pulleys. The piggy back is a uni-chip.

So if I payed 1200 cash for car what's chances of you being able to bring it to Hertfordshire and I cover cost plus ur time???

[MG ZS STE]

I doubt I will get time to do that but I do know a guy who would. But, I would advise seeing any car before purchasing it. Just so you're happy in your own mind.

Ok I'll have little think tonight.i really need some more info on ur unichip is it plug and play??
Just got bit looking into as I want to put my supercharger on this engine but mine already has piggy back ecu...so dont know how well ur engine will work without ur piggyback cos I need mine keept for the supercharger or can you use them together??so I need bit research as you can see.altho I can swap it all over I really am very dum when it comes to ECU and how all works.

[MG ZS STE]

From what I have read about the uni-chip it only takes over at high rpm when there is a risk of running lean. It's not a sophisticated piece of kit. I think it only splices into 3 wires from the loom off the ECU. I don't believe the original ECU was remapped but I may be wrong?

Morning have been doing some reading it does say if it spliced into ecu it can ruin things removing it defo if you got cams and pulleys.so need ring round.do u have train station close by?

[MG ZS STE]

[talkingcars]

If I am reading this correctly you are planning to buy a very fine example of the 180, take the engine out and swap it into your car..........

Didn't it go via the auction then?

[M17TT180]

Nope, I got someone to stick a 2k bid on, I'd be a fool to let it go for any less.

[Dan1971]

Note to self - never bid on any of your auctions then.

I don't sell on eBay anyway, just this.

[Gott]

Still for sale? I might know a guy.

[MG ZS STE]

Sure is.

[MG ZS STE]

Bump

[Dan1971]

Wow - Thought you'd have had money in the bank by now ....

[redzed]

How is this not sold??!

[Dan1971]

How is this not sold??!

Because I don't have a garage !


Yet ..... :shifty:

[talkingcars]

Because I want to hold on to Mrs TC.

[sneekyparrot]

Hi Steve,
Your mobile still end in 522?

Cheers

[MG ZS STE]

Yes Paul, have seen it and replied.

[MG ZS STE]

Deposit taken so provisionally sold thank you.

[Dan1971]

Deposit taken so provisionally sold thank you.

Good news. Well done.

[talkingcars]

Good, I've spent all day wondering how I could sneak it past Mrs TC but I think she might notice, she still hasn't forgiven me for buying FE54 without telling her, and that was 4 years ago.
