Just been told he bought it when it was listed here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Apparently it had cams fitted, no mention of which, think the engine would run rough without any though!
Although it made 305bhp so its lost nearly 20bhp since then!! If a set of cams gave you almost 60% increase in power we'd all have them!

Seems like the company that RR it before and gave a result of 305 may want to do some calibrating!!

My he is getting a tad arsey isn't he

I thought that car rang a bell.............

That ad needs reporting as it is wholly inaccurate.

Actually I beat a 1000bhp Skyline once, so does that mean my ZS has 1001 bhp?........................Does it matter that the car was parked as I passed it.........................

Gawd My Eyes

the yellow Text Is just to damned much

I think they guy was conned into thinking it had 305bhp when he 1st brought it and when he realised it didnt he want shut ASAP

TBH i dont think the car looks to bad even with the dodgy bodykit shame the last two owners have been muppets lol

Edit: the Guy has Just sent me a reply calling me an idiot saying im talking tosh even though ive owned Mg's For The Past 6 Years

i thought as he is been a d1ck id be one to, i sent him the following just to see what his reply is.... i wonder if he will admit that its not 300bhp now...



hi mate, i see your claiming the mg is 305bhp? its virtually impossible to get a kv6 up to that...

supercharging it wont even make 300bhp

i personally know for a fact this is running 195bhp and had a dodgy plemum as 1, i know the guy you bought it from and 2, i was there at a MG ZS meet where it was rolling roaded.

have fun selling it.



all we need now is somebody to fire off a question asking what gearbox, and clutch hes using, and if hes running a lsd. lol

To be honest Adam dont think its totally the sellers fault, think he got sold it as a 305bhp car and got taken in himself and possibly honestly believes it to be a 300bhp car. Guys a real tool though

Good to see your looking at the ZS market btw
