MG ZS 180 (Progress Thread)
On 25th August 2012 i brought a 2004 XPG MG ZS 2.5 V6 180 with 48,000 miles on the clock.
It was very clean and was mechanically fine. I will use this thread to update anything i do with the car and you never know it may also be a cool bit of history to sell with the car when it goes.. (maybe) Spacer http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/01.png Speaker http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/02.png Rear http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/03.png Wheel http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/04.png Engine http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/05.png A few days later i decided to stick the old Force 10s on to see if the larger wheel suited the car. I really like these wheels as they are very similar to the standard ZS wheels which come as standard. Side View http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/06.png 30th August 2012 I have just brought a load of ICE. - Alpine iDA-X305S Head Unit - Alpine PMX-F640 Amp - Alpine 4x SPG-17CS Speakers Heres a few images of it This looks easy.. how hard could this be http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/08.png Oh.. snap. http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/07.png Enough wires to light a house http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/09.png Speakers http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/10.png Got the rear speakers booming, going to add the rear tweeters and tidy the cables up tonight then focus on the fronts tomorrow. A mess for now http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/11.png Rear http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/12.png Cleaned up a little bit last night http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/13.png 2nd September 2012 got a really good day cleaning wasn't sunny and wasn't wet, perfect. Rear http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/18.png Front http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/19.png Side http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/20.png 4th September 2012 thought i better stick the head unit in, driving in silence is dead boring... i had to fix it because i might have accidentally ran the connecter plugs over and smashed them to hell....... all is working though :) Head Unit http://www.sodakid.com/mgzs/21.png 5th September 2012 got my hands on a Cupra R splitter today. £45 from the local Seat garage. took about half an hour to fit.
