Viewing: group 11 cars

**creature** · 07-01-2009, 02:07 PM

Someone please give me an idea on a new car. My current mg zs is starting to rack up the miles so i want to sell it before it becomes even more worthless.

A car that has potential to be modded more than just an exhaust and induction kit would be great. I know i wont get much in this band but any ideas would be welcomed.

Looking to spend below 15k. Dont really want to take out a loan to get the car.

regards mark.

Dunno why i'm saying this cause your gonna get bombarded by Prevtec anyway but have you looked at any honda's? They usually offer good scope for modding..

Alternatively, keep it ad infinitum and the depreciation becomes irrelevant

to be honest id agree with HDi.
its really a rover in disguise. and with them beig bust nobody really wants them.

youd be better keeping a hold of it until it gets a bigger problem. then do a quick fix and trade in.

some people just need educating!

There isn't much Rover under that skin in 180 guise, have you driven one?

Had mine nearly four years and will not be parting with it.

ok thats different yes my bro in law had one for around a year before getting rid of it. drank to much for his liking as had change in jobs, extra 30 mile a day, but only drove it for a mile

but really its a rover 45 or is it the 75

**stamford** · 07-01-2009, 04:59 PM

ZR=25
ZS=45
ZT=75
ZTT=75 Estate

I'm nor a huge fan to be honest. Apart from the silly RWD V8 one that is

**stamford** · 07-01-2009, 06:03 PM

That's what makes us different, I'm not that fussed about Subaru's as I keep thinking they ought to check its running on all 4!

Each to their own, I only came across the ZS by chance, I wasn't actually looking to buy one at the time. I was hoping to purchase a Droopsnoot Firenza or another HS Chevette but had trouble finding one.

Yeah, they can sound lumpy at times. I can assure you, however, that they don't drive at all lumpily.

I'm not a huge fan of 4 cylinder diesels in general, not even Peugeot ones. I just happen to like DW12TED4 engine and it's ability to sling out outrageous torque figures with a gentle remap.

get a yank nice v8 oldish but not to old cheap on the insurance sounds great and better on juice then you think
i have 2 the 79 trans am well that only comes out in the summer but that drinks petrol but its a 6.6 4 barrel carb tuned a touch so it will
but my lastest one a 87 trans am gta 5.7 but inj great car use it every day do about 25 mpg combiined do about 260-270 ish to 40 quid cheap insurance

and will sound better then any jap or so called british car ( only 1 left that i say is a true brit morgan)

and easyer on bits then you think i have just blown my diff up on my gta to many burn outs i think lol and had one by the end of the night

**creature** · 09-01-2009, 12:05 AM

age unfortunatly is still against me, im doing well for myself money wise however insurance companies still view me as high risk.

i cant find any plates to run through go compare for trans am or mustang know a plate a i could use?

***HDi fun*** · 09-01-2009, 12:44 AM

V6 Toyota Camry? quiet and comfortable - yet with plenty of power when your right foot commands it!

***waynne*** · 09-01-2009, 06:19 PM

Diesels are lower groups than the petrol equivalents of similar power. Probably because of all the Old Guys that drive them

Define OLD

**pgarner** · 10-01-2009, 12:06 PM

definition of OLD

OLD - someone who drives a diesel for enjoyment. may be between the ages of 17 until over 70

lol Your just being polite.

**creature** · 10-01-2009, 06:09 PM

tbh i dont need to sell the mg in order to get a new car just would be nice to be rid of it. its pumping out 165bhp apparantly. im done modding it i want to move on.

as for the american v8s they sound like a good idea, however the rumor they cant corner is that true?

**lutonmatt** · 10-01-2009, 06:39 PM

have sent you a pm

but as for cornering both mine have the sports package on them and the 87 is the performance one
and they go round corners like anything my lexus ls400 rolled and sliped out more then the trans ams
but if you drive them hard they will spin but have it to a fine art getting the back out now

but some of the bigger ones roll all a case of what you get

Hey OG - shall we give 'em a good kicking at the next mutually convenient TQ meet?
