After looking at civic type r's ive decided why sell a beautiful car thats quite unique with low mileage for peanuts?

Soooooo im not.

Now Im going all out on the zs

As ive mentioned I want some braces for it, and there are lots of civic ones on ebay , I want a lower front and rear one, but am still confused by which one to get as there are loads, and I dont wanna spend loads.


Im thinking this will fit the front lower of the zs?

and this will fit the rear lower?

Wise choice - the MG is nicer in so many subtle ways.

The lower front brace doesn't fit! It has an engine or gearbox mount in the way!

It may fit the K series engined cars but not sure I made the mistake and now have one sitting in the garage!

heres a step by step idea.

remove the engine from brm
scrap the brm
take kv6 out of zs
fit t16 in zs
sell kv6
using funds from kv6 get the t16 un to 300 bhp

I would have to say I don't really know but this is because I had the rear upper brace and the lowering springs fitted all at once so can't say which made the most difference!!

I got my rear lower brace from Moto-Build but it doesn't look the same as the one your put the link to so may give different results!!

stick KV6 in BRM? Would be diffrent!

lol. I have options!

ideally get the 1.8 vvc back in it and return to standard

IMO keep the ZS the way it is and go nuts on the BRM
