its slightly different with the old type-R's though, they were for racing homologation and honda were owed money by every one they made. You could say the vti is to the esi civic what the mg is to rover.
Besides any car can be built fast, and any car can be driven slow
it was only a track day, it was also a road car on road tyres and with an extra silencer to help with the noise,
I was there for the day to have a bit of fun and take some folk for a ride around, Not a race meeting, we have another car for that, which btw could not be beaten by a Btcc Mg ZR. on more than one occassion last season.
dunno what all the fuss is about ,your lines are miles out in a couple of places and your slow lap time reflects it.I could absolutely rip you a new one in my MG ZS 180.
at the end of the day its still a rover and the only good thing that ever came out of the rover factory was the rover v8, and that is a chevy v8 they stole.
"its still a rover" ,standard predictable reply from anyone who knows their arguement carries no validity.
Race spec dc5 ,hondas finest ,mullered by a rover 45 ,and a rover 45 with less power too!
Always makes me laugh ,someone in a type r ,clio 182 etc etc ,slags off zs ,then you prove to them your zs will actually run rings around their car and their only response to save face is to slate rovers!..lmao.
look mate i have a decent car i have a focus rs. im just sayin dont try to big up a car that was made by a company that doesnt really exist any more, the stupid idiots couldnt even afford to redesign the rover 45 they just stuck an mg badge on it and charged a fortune for it. all rovers are pap they always will be. rover cant afford to design new cars so what makes you think that they made a quality mg. once rubbish always rubbish. why not go and buy yourself an mg maestro and be happy with it.
Ok,r45 and mgzs share body panels,some interior trim parts,not much else.Zs has different suspension,brakes,engine,quicker rack,stiffer chassis,sports ratio box etc ,all the things manufacturers change when turning a family car into a gti.Just like honda when they turned the civic into the type r.How was the civic re designed to evolve into the type r ?,look just like any other civic to me.So is the type r just a civic ...no!,just like the mg is not just a rover,or the rs is not just a focus.
Buitifull driving. i loved watching you drive. The guys in the evo and pulsar were just using their cars power no actual driving skill u can see that by the way the guy in the pulsar was over handling the car.
talk about some really dumb drivers out on that track all over the shop, they got no idea... especially that black evo just sits behind the porsche.. idiot ! lol but a good video to watch
Again!! Where is the naff mg that people are going on about!!!??!!

you mean rover 75 get a proper car mate
daidie211081 3 years ago 2
nah ,mg zs was derived from rover 45 not rover 75 ,so it must be even more humiliating that my zs can lap combe faster than a race spec dc5 !!
How can it not be a proper car if its faster than the race spec dc5 ,lmao!!

How many head-gaskets you gone through mate?

none, the kv6 in the zs 180 doesnt suffer with h.g failure, its the 1.8 k16 engine that can sometimes fail in this way.
