MK2 ZS 180 hatch
 
Hi just sold both my zr105 and zr turbo, and decided an upgrade was in order, so purchased a 54 plate MGZS 180 and have loved every minute with it, I've got some goodies to order from dark ice and Morobuild so will post some pictures up of the bits when I have them but this is it as it stands-

Firstly :hi: to the site. So how do you like having the saloon spoiler fitted to the hatch? So what plans do you have for it?

PBT has always suited the ZS, welcome to site :) What was the spec of your ZR turbo?

Hi and welcome

The extreme spoiler looks good, makes it look almost like a saloon.

Welcome to the site. The Extreme spoiler looks good on the hatch but I would Dewiper the rear window tbh just to clean up the lines abit

Sure I passed this last week in Kettering? Remember seeing the saloon spoiler and recognise that plate.

love the MK2 hatch. and black is certainly the best colour for showing off swirls.

Hi to you, and the site :hi:

Nice looking zed you have there, liking the private plate.....

Is your new purchase standard, or are you upgrading her? :wave:

Thanks to everyone I wasn't expecting that much of a response!i have seen a few site stickers on cars around kettering and Northamptonshire.
Zr turbo was pretty standard but in fairness there isn't many four pots that compare to the kv6 noise wise.
The only non standard thing on the car is a stainless exhaust by tony banks in Leeds have not heard of him before so unsure of quality, but do still have a lifetime warrantee certificate.
It had only one owner from new and I have about 3 grands worth of receipts for new bcu's and the like.
Upgrades are going to start once I'm back from Greece.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what's best to upgrade first?
And dewiper is on the cards as one of the first things

Upgrades depends on budget and where you want to take it. I would definitely get a decent induction kit fitted to accompany the exhaust fitted, breathing mods always first. Upgrading the clutch hydraulics would be a good place to start if not done already. The rest is purely down to personal preference and what you want from the car, the list can go on!

J70DDO 18-05-15 10:49 AM

Induction is on the list, as well as a sheddist kit. I am a fan of the colourful jap LCAs and lower strut brace I have read that they fit the zs so they would be a good addition.

stamford 18-05-15 11:45 AM

The LCAs may need modifying, depending on what one you go for as the centre bush is too thick to take the ZS suspension lower horseshoe bracket. I had my bushes machined to make them fit correctly. Hardrace do a decent selection of suspension parts (Honda) to look for EG/DC2 Civic bits if my memory serves me correct.
