Oh and just in case anyone wants to see which car I bought I have attached some pics....

Looks rather nice and tidy that does, nice buy:)

On reading Stephen's post about his specific requirements in his search for a 180, it reminded me of my list of requirements I put up a couple of months ago compared to what I got...

MK1 ZS 180 Saloon tick
Colour preferably black or yellow but open to all black
Belts must be done 4,500 miles ago!
Mileage up to 75k 10k over but belts recent
Standard ok, decent exhaust/induction better (no cone in bay!) no induction, standard exhaust but decat (will address exhaust soon)
Tyres/brakes decent to race til December minimum (3-4 track days) tick (Avon's all round)
MOT/tax minimum 6 months MOT November/Tax January (A compromise I guess for the cost)
Distance no problem Bloody miles away
No VIS/Plenum/Manifold issues!!! maybe vis but no plenum rattle
Average bodywork condition (no big dents/rust [dings ok]) really good, scuff on sideskirt but perfect alloys
No rips on interior, wear and tear ok tick
?1,000 to spend roughly ?795 plus recovery but should plan better!

All in all pretty close match all in all!

ye done well there bud well done!

I see that on ebay and I was tempted to get it myself but the distance was the issue.

very nice mate, missed htis thread all together, decalling it up or leaving it sleek and shiney as is?

Btcc replica all the way.

that sounds good, cant wait for the xpower green stripes on it

Xpower stripes, MG logos also emailed a couple of local businesses for free vinyls which will be seen locally. Also need to get site stickers for here!

Gonna look great mate :thumbsup:
