End of an era - The ZS is gone! and so is the prelude ******
After 6 years of MG ownership, I have defected! I swapped my 180 for a Honda. Just picked it up today. Farewell ZS, you did me proud.
Its a 99 Prelude 2.2 vtec Montegi special edition with a sports auto box, a la tiptronic(esque) Almost the exact same colour as the ZS! http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/SDC11210.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/SDC11211.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/SDC11212.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/SDC11213.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/SDC11214.jpg http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...r/SDC11215.jpg |
thats one nice clean honda!!
|
Very nice Craig
|
OMFG! What have you done! :laugh:
Oh well, I didn't think you would fold! Looks nice I will admit. ;) |
It looks very nice m8:yes:
|
As much as I loved the ZS, I was growing bored with it. I fancied an Impreza, but inded up with the 'lude. Im very pleased with it apart from the rank "wood" inserts.
|
Love the exterior .... interior .... :no:
|
hmmm, no really my bag but it is nice clean motor:)
|
Are we now "theMGZSand Honda.co.uk" ??
Looks in fantastic condition, how does it compare to the 180??? :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: |
Its very similar to the zs. Handles almost the same. Its even got the some of the same switches lol. I have to admit, it seems better built than the zs even though its 3 years older. The vtec noise is superb. I may return to the MG fold in the not to distant future though :P

So what version did you get the 185PS or 200PS version and is it 2 or 4 wheel steering?
Enjoy!! |
i had a 4ws 2.2 one of them for a bit earlier this year, not the tiptronic though, full manual. i think the tiptronic is nearly a second slower which is a shame yet your box is much desired for a nice relaxing cruise :) the motegi is the one to get as it comes with the nice bodykit. nice move mate, i do love them preludes :) hope it serves you well
|
you kept that one quiet... :p
...and i'm not quite fussed on a 2Dr. :crazy: Other than that it's fine. |
How long before the wheels get changed? :laugh:
|
they might already be... ;o)
|
Very nice mate, always liked them. Besides the wheels what you gonna do to it?
|
There are a heck of a lot of things that can be done to these, having owned a jap spec one myself before the ZS :)
http://wpjw.co.uk/images/mycar_prelude/preludesmall.jpg <-- God I miss that thing! :( Power-fold mirrors and wind deflectors are a must, followed very closely by the CF interior panels as the wood trim is just shocking!!! :( If you need a hand on anything, feel free to PM me (I have a full copy of the Honda EPC if you need parts), and register here: http://preludeuk.co.uk Quote:

Car looks good but I prefer my ZS, my brother in law had one a few years ago and I looked after it for a couple of weeks and yeah, it was nice having the option of tiptronic and yeah it was nice having vtec but I still prefer my 180.
Anyway it's not my car so enjoy......... |
Looking nice but what a weird looking handbrake lol

t5 basically yeah? 2.3t my mate had an estate one and f*** did it go fast in a straight line lol, it was mapped right out with a massive turbo, looked a wreck outside tho haha, bet urs handles better
|
I can't help but laugh...................you're getting as bad as me with cars! Looks nice Craig, more upmarket.
|
bet that'll scare alot of people who don't expect it!
|

|
Awesome cars had one over summer a few year back. Was silly quick for a big car. Drove beautifully too.
