Daily MK2 180
 
I've always wanted a 180 for years but between 1 thing and another I've never got around to getting one, after randomly selling my daily ZR td last week I needed another work wagon.
Looked at a few 320 & 330d Msports but something wasn't right, this popped up on a local forum (only mk2 I've seen forsale in ages, 180s are kina rare over here) so I decided a viewing was necessary.

Onto the car.
2004 180 saloon in pearl black
93k miles with full service history
Belts etc all changed
Usual 180 spec
2 boot spoilers
Window deflectors
Hand free Bluetooth kit
Full stainless exhaust from the cat back
Decat pipe (not fitted)
Power flex engine steady mount bushes (top & bottom)
Gearbox rebuilt using steel cage bearings
Sheddist clutch kit
Sheddist bumper sag kit
Cold air induction kit with a cone filter fitted to the inner wing

Plans:
Lower it slightly
Light tint all around
Fit decat pipe
Enjoy it :-)

1.5 hour drive home and enjoyed every min of it lol.

Good weather today was a good excuse to clean it lol

Quick run around with Poorboys Blackhole and waxed with Autoglym HD wax.

Contemplating on weather or not to lower it. After getting out of a lowered hard as f**k ZR I'm enjoying the comfort lol

I am wondering wether to lower mine or not but my lowered and braced ZR just wants to bump me around and like you the zs just wafts along!

Looking very nice, a PB always looks fantastic!
Regarding lowering I have always found the ride to be easy enough to live with when lowering on motobuild springs, keep your old springs as a fall back just incase but I think you should be fine and am positive it won't be anywhere as harsh as a slammed ZR:)

Nice car - reminds me of mine.

I was goimg to lower my mk1 but as it handled well at normal height so I didn't.
