Love that Alien Green. Best colour on those by a mile.

Thanks mate!! You need to drive one, then you’d think it wa epic

Yeah MPG is comedic mate. I managed 265 miles to a tank before the light went on this morning and 200 of those miles were doing a steady cruise on the M6. Heavy footed driving I would expect to get just over 200 miles.

Ha ha. They made 883 of them with most being the MK2 version. Decent examples were about £6.5 - 7k about 2 years ago. They’re hovering around £10k now so I thought i’d better get one before I would begrudge ripping one apart rather than keeping it original.

Had a black ZS 180 saloon, facelifted like that one with the arch extensions and big whale tail. It got keyed 2 days after I got it. Sad day when I had to drive it into Longbridge and hand some guy with a clipboard the keys with everyone else. One of the most neutral chassis i’ve Ever come...

Yeah my dad had ZT 190’s as company cars and I thought they were slow as s**t back then ha ha. The V8 is fast enough but is a bit all mouth and no trousers at the moment. Will be remedied in time though

It has a hydratrak LSD which has been rebuilt by a TVR specialist on mine. Supercharger will be fun but only after i get my company car back in a year after i’ve finished this secondment for work. Will have the wide arch kit and wheels fitted first jobs.

I think they can be ace when set up properly. Only trouble is nobody makes suspension for them such as coilovers which I would love to fit. The issues with lowering them is that the sump is really low due the size of the engine. The race cars had bespoke Bilstein 3 way remote reservoir...

A whole.......256 bhp. So not a lot as the car weighs 1660 kgs. 200 kgs heavier than a normal ZT V6. You can put a few bolts ons like a larger throttle body and manifolds then add Cams and get around 300 ish. Best route is Supercharging. You can achieve 400 - 450bhp on standard internals...

I did exactly the same with my old man. Horrible day, eeerily quiet and a sad day for British car manufacturing. It’s brilliant to drive mate. Superb chassis. Traction control is hilarious. Literally a fuel cut off, quite dangerous to be honest....so I just turn it off and skid around

So the time came to return my company Audi A4 and for 12 months I would need to run my own car again. So, in theory I needed something diesel, German with all the mod cons. However........ I have been wanting this car for over 5 years. My dad used to work for Rover for over 30 years and in...

I think this is the last one of this year. They are on from around March to September according to their website. Been to a couple this year and there's always good stuff. Also coffee proceeds all go to charity which is a bonus.

Just to let everyone know Cars and Coffee is on this Sunday (17th). Last time was about 250 cars. Always a good selection of stuff there. I'm going with a few mates so be good to see some local cars if anyone is free. On from 10am - 1pm. Address is at the top of the thread.

Link to my dads Beemer on Auto Trader. Car is absolutely mint. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201708188470985/postcode/b904yg?utm_source=Consumer_Marketing_POLA&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=First_Time_Live

Congratulations on the job move mate. Really pleased for you. Always had good dealings with Sytner when I had my Beemer.

I use wax addicts vitreo which I put over prima amigo and finish off with auto finesse finale. Really pops out the flecks and gives a nice deep shine. :up:

Another superb video. Amazing driving from both. That E36 screams!!

The turinis? No mate, like to keep them in case I ever turn it back to something resembling standard

That actually makes me want to put my turinis back on......and that takes some doing :smile: great photos mate

Hi mate, sorry for the late reply. The Scenic gear conversion is just a Renault scenic gear shifter with a short shift attached. It is basically a cheapskate version of the Pure Motorsport part. I personally really like it as it preserves the original shifters mannerisms with a longer reach...

I think it took him a bit by surprise tbh as he was right behind me clearly accelerating hard. I dropped a gear and he then disappeared. Some mph later I slowed down to 70mph and he came past giving me the thumbs up. Must be a bit annoying been left for dead by a pesky old clio he he

Was good travelling up with you mate. I destroyed a 220 trophy on the way back on the A42. Literally turned into a spec in the rear view mirror. Good day all round. :grinning:

Car looked awesome on track mate. Can obviously peddle a bit too judging by the lead you pulled out :tongueout:. Couldn't believe how flat it cornered following you upto Donny.

Coolio. May see you there then. :smile:

I reckon I walked past about half the forum on the day and didn't know them from Adam :smile: Would've been good as I'd have liked to have met more and had a nosey round their cars. One for next time maybe. I had a nosey round @T9 0LLE Car too and it's very nice.

Thanks matey. Are you going to the FCS tomorrow?

No worries both. Yeah should be good if I make it. Should have a Special Cup section :smile:

Thanks mate, seats really set it off and they now sit well with the rest of the interior which is what I wanted.

So if you want to maintain more road biased handling would the 19mm be best to go for??
