Drew's ZS180
been hanging around on here for a while, thought id post a few bits ive been upto on mine.

so where to start! well i bought my excellent mk2 XPG hatch in July '07 for just over £8k, with 18k miles on the clock.



first things first, power run..



not bad. best handling mg/rover id ever driven, pretty good power for a nasp. could always feel that dip in torque though.

fitted well in the bay, seemed to rub on the sound deadening though..






not bad power for the boost. pretty close to what sprintex said it would be..


but a little dissapointed. drove very well, felt really good.

unfortunatly the car developed a bad electrical fault. was still under warrenty so removed the charger and sent it back to the dealer.

turned out to be a loose connection in the fusebox. fixed for free!
