Yeah i read its has a new box but i wouldnt have thought that it needed a new box as it only did about 6K on the CTS box. You didnt have any problems with the box before you sold it did you ?

And yeah had to apply the power gently in the wet lol

Nice in black is it a phase 1 or 2 ? I aways fanced seeing how well a ZS would go with a full 4 2 1 exhaust manifold and new inlet or throttle bodies and a set of Koni's. Bet that would feel like a real gokart

Yeah my girlfriend still has her ZS. Im doing a full service on the ZS tomorrow with new discs and Mintex extreme pads as she says the brakes are crap after driving the FRS lol

Yeah got bored and decided to pawn everything (inc the missus LOL ) and buy a Focus RS. Only problem is I have to use the FRS everyday for work.

Nice on the MOT, its always worrying isnt it.

Are your ZS brakes nice and firm and bite well and come to a stop easy then?

Yeah i got the lot to do, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, discs, pads and brake fluid, that should cover it

Hope the brakes come up good as the ZS are fun cars to drive. I like to drive my missus esp with the spec S cone filter as it makes a nice deep noise.

Thats pretty much what i sold it for 4 months ago

Glad you got it mate and your happy with it. Always nice to see someone who appricates the car for what it is, i didnt spend massive amount but alot changed fromt he std car i bought to what it is now in the 6 yrs i had it.

Enjoy it mate, just dont blow it up as theres a que of people wanting to know what size the pistons really are and what really makes it go that well
