vtec2011 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Went scrappy to get a couple rear light bulb terminals to do the JDM light mod, but then this MGZS 180 caught my eyes! First thing I saw was the back-box as the car was on it's side. LongLife stainless steel with a 3.5" or 4" tip (Bargain for 8 quid!). Hopefully it will go on my MB3 with a bit of effort but has anyone fit one on their MB? If so, is there anything I have to do to make it fit? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks for reading Oh yeah, I still didn't pick up light bulb terminals. Shows how easily I can be distracted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Defo a bargainSure that will be able to be made to fit with a little effort;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Should fit easy mate, the hangs are in the right place. Looks like a quality exhaust, I would love to hear how that sounds fitted. Actually it looks kinda long but should be okay, there is room at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm going to fit it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 At first glance looks the right shape bends hangers are right. Hope it fits bargain!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 The back box is on, but not connected... The hangers line up with all 3 brackets perfect and sits in the rear VTi-S lip perfect too, so that's a bonus! But the holes on the flange (I know what your dirty minds are thinking) are too small. So the bolts don't go through straight between the 2 flanges, if that makes sense? So I will just drill the holes bigger Sh*tbox to stunner... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nice, sounds like it shouldn't be too much trouble to persuade it on. Properly cheap, did you not get the suspension and arb while you were there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 It should be on tomorrow when I do it at work! So much easier doing it on ramps and got a all the tools to get it fitted properly. No I didn't! One side skirt was cracked because the car was on it's side and I couldn't take the ARB off because the drop link bolts were rounded off! If I had a grinder or saw in hand, I would've had it straight away. Hopefully it's still there when I go back on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Good man. What about the suspension?? Maybe... Being a 180 2.5 V6 which is heavier than my MB3, the spring rates and shocks are different, which is going to make my car higher right?
