Here's my ZS 180
Here are the pics of my car again.
I bought it standard looking like this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3182.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3186.jpg and now it looks like this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0165.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3404.jpg Side CAI: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0173.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0171.jpg Splitter (not to everyones taste I know) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0166.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0167.jpg Dials: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0177.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/101_0175.jpg Peco Exhaust: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3417.jpg Rear upper strut brace (havent photographed the lower one yet) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3416.jpg oil catch tank: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3411.jpg Motobodge short shifter: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3408.jpg Couple from last summer: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3406.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3401.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...S/100_3404.jpg Mods since I got the car (apart from the obvious white decals and wheels): Superchip Janspeed Decat and Peco stainless backbox Rear upper and lower strut braces (waiting to get a front lower, got a honda item but kv6 sits too low) Drilled and grooved disks all round, Redstuff all round. Oil catch tank Electroluminescent dials Short Shifter Xenon headlight bulbs Also had cambelts, water pump and stat done. I think thats about everything. Planned mods: Small things first like remove orange filter from lights, and fit MGF steering wheel (soooooo much nicer) then Manifolds (next) Coilovers Cams Supercharger would be nice but availability and reliability is an issue and am also tempted by a T16 turbo conversion. Well thats it. Hopefully some of you like it. :) |
The only thing I'm not too keen on is the huge hole in the bumper for the cold air feed :) Other than that though looks good!
I'll have to post some pictures of my Trophy Blue 180 at some point... will finish the body work and clean it first though! lol |
Looks good to me
Just think you need to change your licence plates! Lol |
Nice enough car, but the air intake is a fail lol

It's been hard to clean cars properly. So damn cold. What you got loft to do on bodywork then? Quote:

Not very functional when it's positioned at right angles to the direction of airflow, unless you spend a lot of time sideways, or is it extracting hot air.

Yes a lot of air will blow past but it isnt at a right angle, and your theory would make the side vents on an MGF useless too! |
Yeah, lots of air comes in through open side windows, remove the windscreen and see the difference, mgf intakes have scoops iirc to help direct the air.

The TF has scoops on the vents, the F doesn't. |
ZS beat me to it lol
|
OK cool
Nice car anyway:smile1::smile1: |
Looks good with white on trophy blue, I had white starights before, a right pita to keep clean and track days killed the finish due to the heat! Not liking the CAF though, wrong position as it is not taking advantage of the cold air at speed, you will suffer from turbulence with it there.
Other mods are good. How do you find the handling with the rear braces? Did you do them together or one at a time? I have heard the back is too tight for road use especially in the wet with them fitted. It's one mod I haven't really pushed to do as yet. |

I am thinking about the T16 turbo conv in mine as I didnt realise when I bought the car that the cost of tuning the KV6 is astronomical if you want a lot of power. The T16 turbo is much easier and I know about that engine a bit as I had a modified 220 Coupe Turbo. |

I bought the side scoops for my MGF but the (supposedly reputable) online company never delivered, never returned emails and never answered the phone, so I just lost out on them and never bothered trying to buy them again. |
Not really a fan to be honest. As long as the owner is happy though it doesn't matter.
Exhaust is not centered, Cupra splitter looks gash and is bulging all over the place, would of been better running a CAF from the front mesh... Pic 1 and 3 look nice though. |
Very clean looking car and Im sure it's your pride and joy modded to your own taste which everyone has different opinions on which is why forums are good for a variety of ideas.
I like the white wheels & clear indicators. BUT: sorry the decals are lame, front bumper/side CAF isnt a good look and Splitter although is a good idea doesnt seem to sit right. Need some coolant in that bottle too mate, totally empty. |
Why remove the pictures? they were good! As said before you'll get all types of comments some good some not so. You are not alone in getting negative comments on mods, even I have suffered the wrath on here! :laugh: So don't take it personally, remember we do have a diverse bunch on here of all age groups and backgrounds. Just join in and suffer like we all do! :wacko:
|
post the picture back up again mate sorry i missed it
and dont worry about this lot some on the site always give me grief about mine , but if you are happy then thats the main thing :) you will get good and bad opinions probably about 50/50 if you are controversial. and remember opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one |
Stick em back up mate, you'll always get positive and negative comments, it's a forum after all, thats how it's supposed to work.:smile2:

I will put up some pics of my SD1 though which was fairly standard and the one thing I miss from it is the V8! I want one in my Z |

It's your car modded to your taste,put pics back up & stand by your convictions. All that matters is that YOU like it. |
maybe, but variety is the spice of life:D I canna see any pics the now as am on the works computer but whap them back up:) Not everyone, likes everything, on others cars but as said everyone has an opinion, be it good or bad in the recipients view:)
There was both positive and negative comments on yours from what I see and it can be best to take the rough with the smooth, personally what i do is acknowledge the negative, think about what they are saying and if after i have a wee ponder i still like what others don't I am happy. Besides it is good to have something a bit different on the forum:strongbench: |
cant be that bad of a car, i bet it isnt that same colour as a tranny's make up selection like mine is !! PMSL!!

That's on my wishlist, rwd V8 powered ZS :D |
Ok I will put the pics up again tomorrow then.
Thanks for the positive words folks :-) |
She looked good when I first saw the pics and as said its yours not anyone else on here... the dials looked good, how hard where they to do.
I got stick with the red coach stripe on my brg 180 but now I have the black alloys with red rims it actually works haha. http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...2-09170917.jpg |
get the pics back up
|
I'd say most on here have mods to some extent, and its your car to do what you want with. As long as your happy and the results give you more power or whatever, why care what others think.
Bit like my yellow car, I love it but some of the comments you get, makes me laugh/spit. We are a friendly bunch on here and are here to help, stick the photos back up. :beer::beer::beer: |
I put a union jack on the top of my 1st one mate ....
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i.../UJRoof003.jpg Some slaughtered it - others - particularly on here said - "Not for me mate, but if you like it, that's what counts" and that's the general response from this site. Variety is the spice of life, and we acknowledge that. You've put your stamp on that car.... I saw the pics - Trophy Blue I think with white x power decals and white wheels. New addition was a nice black splitter. Now - the decals aren't for me - but I liked pretty much all of the rest. Especially the dials. Come lad - get them back up. :console: |
I saw some of the pics. I really liked the white decals again st trophy blue. I wouldnt have the balls to do it myself, but I do like it.
|
I look forward to seeing the pics! Everyone has their own tastes, shouldn't feel you can't show it off on here. People will have good and bad opinions on it, the same as when people see you driving it down the street.
|
We own MGz's so by default we all have massive shlongs and don't worry about people opinions!
Personaly if someone doesn't like my car, i overtake them, drop to 1500rpm, and plant my right foot, after that they cant see my car and need to head for they're nearest "Mr Shine" My best Mate has an MX5.... he spends his life in the shower! |
