Bobthebeard Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Am unsure about this, but needs must.Any interest in the MG ZT?Loads done and a lot spent. Timing belts done, rear suspension arms replaced, new rear springs etc etc. All new tyres (Hankook Ventus V12) A shit load of work done and a great car.Downside is it is a Cat D. Before my tenure. A rear shunt but all repaired invisibly.A cracking car, but value unknown. It is a 2.5 V6 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthebeard Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Price?Value Unknown. As my first post really...It stands me at £1300. Everything important has been done. Plus plenty of unimportant stuff.This has been a labour of love really. Loads spent and everything done. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The ZTs do seem to fetch more than the 75, which I always found a bit counter intuitive but ultimately favorable. Get a proper thread up and you might find the right buyer right here. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthebeard Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Back for sale. It rarely gets used now.....Sorry I don't have any better photos as yet. The car is up at our caravan in Scotland. Will get some more pics at the weekend.As mentioned.All new brake discs, pads and tyres (Hankook Ventus V12) plus rear suspension replaced. Timing belts, water pump etc done last summer.Been declared Cat d several years ago but I have no real idea why. Rear end bump I suspect owing to a replacement boot lid.

mercedade Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 HONEY. Funnily enough, I've got a (ok, 4) searches saved looking for exactly this spec.I'm still smarting from having missed out on this one a few weeks back, and have kept up the hunt.I also 'won' this one more recently, but that fell through when the seller told me he'd already sold it. Uh-huh. Anyway, all this is preamble - I'm interested, but like everyone else could do with a steer on price. I appreciate the bids I put in on those won't necessarily inspire confidence, but I am prepared to stump up for a good one. Is it the 160 or 190 V6? Is it wearing black wheels now?

Wearing black wheels. The wheels were home sprayed black last year. Seem and look fine, but not powder coated so durability not guaranteed. Home brewed stainless steel exhaust with a cherry bomb rear box. And it sounds fantastic.££££s spent, but not perfect. I love it TBH, but it gets little use. Am hoping to get £1300 for it, but hey ho.The VIS stuff in the intake manifold seems to work fine, but is a bit rattly after startup at times. It always goes quiet when warm. Apparently some do that so I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 You'll know if the VIS motors are working. Up towards 3,500 RPM it hitches up it's frock and starts running. These are simple enough to remap to the full fat 190BHP amirite? Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebeard Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Dunno about the remap, but the VIS motors are working. Circa 3500 rpm and the exhaust note changes and it goes very well!Plus the sound.... Oh, the sound of that V6 on that exhaust.. Yummy.It has a great sound system with a 6 cd changer, but I never use it. The exhaust sound is the only music I need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reasonably certain they have different gearing, as well as a different cam and air intake, so it's not just a straight remap difference - but also, so many years down the line, what's 30bhp between friends eh?
