Quick update, since buying the car nothing major has really happened.

I first of all fitted my Competition spec head unit from theloudest.com (Christmas present) which replaced the stock Kenwood unit...although the Kenwood was very good nothing really can match this head unit for quality on stock ICE.

Some features of the head unit-

DVD Player
TV
Colour Screen 3.5'
Ipod connection
USB/Memory Card reader
Bluetooth
Built in Amp
4x80 watt capable
Bluetooth Streaming
etc etc

Installed in my car:

Second update, me and a friend took the ZS to have a power dyno run over at Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield. I just wanted to get a base figure to then start modding too insted of blind modifying and hoping I get gains.

The end result was 123.0 BHP at 6729rpm and 108.2 lb-ft of torque at 4960rpm. This was very strange for a car which should only have 108BHP stock so either the dyno was over reading alot or there may be something internally done to the engine already (investigations on going lol). In the very least I know the engine is healthy and ready for modding.

There is also a quick video on my Youtube (see sig).

Thats all up to yet....comming soon MG TF 135 Fast Road Cams and 160 VVC Inlet Manifold with 1.8 injectors

. Oh and a set of Areo wipers lol.
