Are 180 kitted MK2 120's hard to come by?
 

As above really?

I don't really post on here but thought it'd be the place to ask. I don't know whether I'm getting restless or not, but have been having thoughts of getting shot of the BRM and getting a MK2 ZS. It would HAVE to have the 180 kit, but I'd only be looking for a 120, so are they rare or are there plenty about?

They are pretty common Adam tbh, just that sometimes there are a few on the go and other times none lol:) Just from what I have seen in the ads, hatches seem more common than saloons in this spec.

Just a thought but do you really want rid of your BRM? With all that you have put into it and how long you have had her, i think you may regret getting shot of it for a 120 ZS. I know you got your track beastie but thats a totally different kettle o fish:)

That's another thing I'd have to check, what are the differences between the Hatch and Saloon apart from the boot of course?

Well I'm undecided to be honest. I've probably put the best part of ?10k into the car (including buying her but not including servicing, etc). I could sell as standard and get a lot of money for the parts though.

My thinking behind a 120 is that I've already got ITB's, a VVC head, etc sitting at home and I fancy something a bit stripped out which I can't do with the BRM.

They are only different from the C pillar back, hatch is mair flexible with it's wider opening. Saloon has bigger boot, but more restricive opening, seats fold down in both - iirc flat in the hatch. When you fold seats down in saloon you won't get full width of car to slot things through into passenger compartment as there are bulkheads intruding in from the sides:) Oh an sallon looks better :D ;)


I like that thinking an the 4 pot K's do apparently have better handling due to the lighter lump up front, just would seem a pity tto get shot of the BRM but only you can decide I suppose:)

Cheers for all that info! :D

So what kind of price would a 180 kitted MK2 120 go for? Must admit I'm completely noobish with regards to prices these days.

I paid ?2200 in Dec.

TBH I aint that up on prices these days, probably not wanting to depress myself lol:D It does seem that the smaller engined models hold their prices far better than the 180's due to planet huggin:D For what they cost it is worth getting the best you can afford as price wise they are all very cheap:)

:rofl:

To be honest condition isn't a big issue, all I'd care about is that the external bodywork is good.

Other than that the interior would be going anyway and the engine would have a complete strip and rebuild, so even mileage isn't an issue.

On pistonheads they seem to start at 3K but sure there a far cheaper oot there:) Rosszr's old ane is for sale already http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2002301.htm

Lovely colour that :yes:

mine for 3k all belts have been changed

can pick one up for anywhere between grand to two and a half id recon quite easily, prces seem to vary so much these days, we buy any car only offered ?1400 for mine, usually they come up just as you want one though haha, i said i wanted one and guess what got traded in the next day at work

I want a bike but I love the ZS so much, I think I put it up abit pricey in the hope no one will buy it.


Might keep it untill summer comes back around, get alot of comments about it and its miles better than my old ZR.

Blimey, huge difference in prices then!

I personally wouldn't pay any more than ?2k mate. Book price is only around ?1800, but I suppose you could add around ?200 for the kit. That's about the price they usually go for on ebay.

Makes sense.

Out of interest how much would a 180 kit cost, if I bought a plain mk2?

Alot, and then possible spraying costs + fitting PITA....try and buy one with the kit on already

Good stuff, I wont do that then :D

Kit's go for about ?300 - ?400, but as Deano said, buy one with the kit already fitted. The kit's also really hard to find now and it means changing you front wings too. Would def be false economy mate.

Also, you would have to buy 17"s to finish it off and if you want the mk2 11 spoke their just as rare and expensive as the kit.

Not overly bothered about the 11 spokes. P would probably stick some Cosmos' on it anyway :D
