Mg zs 180 mk2 firefrost
For sale, my MK2 FIrefrost saloon. Car is a 180 with piper 270 cams and vernier pulleys. janspeed manifolds, complete system I think. Sports cat. Has a piggy back ECU. Shedist clutch hydraulics, lightned flywheel. Dimple and groved front discs, grey alcantara seats with rear head rests and the correct escutcheons.
Since owning I have replaced the thermostat, new plugs, oil and filter change, oil twice, green cottons air filter, gutted the resonator, fitted Diesel engine cover/splash guard, opened up fog light bezel and fitted finer black powder coated mesh behind it and to the front grill, lower stone guard grill and plasticoated the frame red to make it stand out, fitted catch tank with silicon hoses, fitted VIS indicators, both VIS working, power VIS ultimate power VIS as refurbed by Petet16 (RIP) powder coated the battery box, fitted OEM rear parking sensors, alpine head unit, upgraded rear component speakers, has a set of original grey MG matts and original MG front rubber over matts. Oh and completely rebuilt the front end from a same age same colour car. There's probably more but that's all I can think of for the moment.
Good bits, full 13 month MOT, no advisories. Goes well, stops well, done over 2000 miles in it in the last year and it's never let me down. Gears change is probably the best I've ever experienced in a 180. Sounds epic.
Bad bits, it is a cat C, no history with the car other than what I've done myself. Car does have an on going EML P0175 which relates to the bank 2 pre-cat lambda sensor. I've replaced the sensor but the code came back so I think it in the wiring. Will give you more info if interested. I just reset the code when it comes on and the car drives fine.
Would like £1200 ono
Some recent pictures taken at POL.

Belts?

Thanks James. Not sure why that is, perhaps admin/Sam can take a look?
Mileage is 55429. No history other than what I've done but assume belts due.

It is, also just remembered the ratech splitter it has now.
Car is taxed and insured until 17/5. So until then any trial welcome, any trial. After that you will have to make do with a tuttle around the block. Too many ANPR cameras around the area to risk going further than that.

Cams and other engine mods were done by the former owner. He could and probably would tell you all about it if you asked him. Known on here and other places as staccato. I have had the cam covers off and you can slearly see it's got the piper vernier pulleys. The piggy back is a uni-chip.
