Soooo, sold the Astra Coupe a few months back, to buy the GF something more suitable for her new job. She wanted a Corsa C Sxi so bought 1 for her.
Then bought this MG ZR just for running about in. Making some money got the better of me so sold it on. Bought for £100, sold it for £500.
Plan was to keep the £500, and put some more into it and get something decent when payday came. Didn't really need a car so was happy enough to wait.
Then this popped up. Had 1 before, said i would have another 1 day but a manual instead of a slush box. And for what he was asking for it, i couldn't resist.
Spec...
H22A5.
Heat wrapped mani,
Type S intake.
Blox FPR,
Powerflow cat back with some stupid squint backbox,
JDM Spec Tein Basic coilovers,
Strut brace,
UKDM DC2 wheels.
Motegi front lip,
JDM number plate tilter,
Red tow hook and wheel nuts,
As you can see, needs a new rear bumper for sure. Some1 has attempted to paint it and looks like they have used the wrong colour, and ran out of paint.
Drives well, 4ws works, go's pretty good and with the stiff as fook coilovers, its fairly chuckable for the size of it.

The car looks multi-coloured indeed!
Really not my kind of car, but fantastic engines on them.

Aye its had some paintwork lol.
Drivers door, front bumper, and the bootlid were done by the previous owner, and look to be a good match. Rear passenger 1/4 near the door shut looks to be a bit dodgy, but weirdly looks worse in picture's.
Should look slightly better once i change the rear bumper lol.

Aye, 4ws.
Some like it, some don't. Dosn't bother me, but can see why people don't like it and actually remove it. Feels pretty weird at low speed when you do some sharp left to right (and vice versa) turns.
Parking in tight spaces is a doddle, and the turning circle is superb, much better than my other halfs Corsa C.
But if you don't use your mirrors when reverse parking, it can catch you out. Have nearly caught my driveway fence posts a few times.
