So this is my clown car that I picked up last Thursday....
Thought I'd start a thread to document how she progresses.
Initial thoughts, I love the mk2 ZS and this really did fit the bill of what I wanted, low-ish mileage on 62k, 1.6 so cheap to run and I didn't pay a lot for it at all. However the bad points...
- lashings of purple
- speakers almost all blown
- sloppy gearstick
- Fly eyed headlights
- headlights misty, scratched and melted
- HID kit
- LOUD Duplex exhuast
- suspension has been 'played with'
- heaters don't blow hot
- Big scratch on boot
- Broken rear door handles
So a few niggles to fix. I've already de-stickered it, de-wind deflectored it, de-HID'd it, fixed one of the rear handles as it came with a replacement (although it was a Honda item which is a different shape internally) and have the following goodies coming in the post and bought...
Dark Ice sloppy gearstick bush, new heater resistor, new headlights, new interior light, black mesh, spray paint for purple bits, new headlight bulbs.
I aim to make her a bit more subtle so probably going to remove the rear wing, unsure whether to keep or just sell, remove the duplex and fit something a bit quieter and single pipe. Want to fit some coilovers and eventually will fit my ITB's, Emerald and some vvc exhaust cams in a year or so's time.
So i'll keep you all updated with pics as and when i take them!
