Love the ZS and the SV. Is there a supercharger under the bump?

Under the ZS bonnet??? No there isn't.........Ralph does have a supercharged engine to put in a 'donor' zs 180.. his engine has what I think was a Eaton SC fitted to it.........only problem though is that fitting it into the 'Typhoon' ZS would mean losing the air con which isn't very practical plus if it went on track there is a chance the paintwork will get a fair hammering.

Ideally Ralph could have done with another 'Typhoon' ZS which would have been a fantastic supercharged car. Hopefully it will all be sorted soon anyway. When he gets his donor vehicle I will sure as damn it want to help

I've actually just gone green with envy! Lovely cars, the Sv and zs are just...stunning

Stunning cars...any chance of some vids or pics from this weekend's feature? One of the SVR running would be sweet!

I drove the SV-R around to the paddock, where we parked the cars and held the POO competition. Not sure if anyone took any photos or vids of it on the move.

The Twilight ZS180 does not have a supercharger fitted, but it seems to have been designed for the Sprintex supercharger. I've had conflicting stories told to me regarding the history of this car. Some say it was developed by Janspeed for MGR and had a supercharged engine fitted, which was destroyed. Another says that the engine that is in the car was being prepared to take a supercharger, which was not going to be the Sprintex.

As Jim says, I have got a supercharged KV6 which I'm looking to fit into a donor car. Anyone know of a very cheap ZS180 that I can fit this into? When things start moving on this project I'll start a blog type thread to let you know of the progress.

Fantastic looking cars you have there, if you ever want to sell the ZS give me a shout with the price

Boot Hill Bandit · 15-07-07, 02:47 PM

Blimey Ralph! Maybe you should get the paintshop to duplicate your car a few times! Seems quite a few would like your car! No doubt about it.....aesthetically speaking your car makes the ZS look so damn good!

Do you know Ralphs Bittersweet TF is up for offers Luke??

can't remember if I have mentioned this on here before

Lovley looking cars mate! Just out of interest, does anybody know if a ZS was painted in bittersweet? Sofar I've seen Typhoon, Twilight and Spectra (awsome colour in the flesh!)
and lastly......what was the poo competition?

I don't think so...........I am sure Ralph and I have talked about monogram colours and 'one offs' before.

Although we did have a bittersweet ZT 260 in attendance which looked stunning.

Results of POO competition are

Group A was won by a red MG Midget

Group B no one entered

Group C was won by a Rover 200 BRM

Group D was won by a Bittersweet ZT 260

Result of the Quiz

Only one person got all 10 questions correct and that was a Mr and Mrs Wilson

Hows that for a good memory!
