ZS180 beats . . . . .

[Mat C]

A ZT260 V8 ! Just come back from the shops and pulled up next to my mate who has a rare 07 plate 260 in black so we decided to do our 1st ever drag ! As the title suggests, i only saw him after that in my mirrors ;) :D

[carmadbaker]

really? wow :D V6 POWAH wins agen :D ha ha!! i got thrashed by a '03 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 SXI going UP HILL!!! :huh:!!! had EMS check it out....anyone take a guess?

[Mat C]

Yeah, cleanly beat him ! I thought he would pull back against me and slowlyt pass me but no, i just kept clearly pulling away and he wasn't light on his throttle ! What's up with yours for a puny 1.8 Ashtray to beat it - VIS ? Plenum ? BOTH ??!!

[carmadbaker]

thats awesome! i mite give that a little try ha ha!! im rather impressed i must admit lol yup VIS motor that connects the 2 plenum chambers is broken :( having it sorted tomoz....then round 2 :)

[Mat C]

Those damn VIS motors. Get it fixed, find one of those strangled V8's and show them how it's done ! :D

[carmadbaker]

ha ha!! :lttd: will do bud!

I would have thought it'd be close... I think their quarter miles are within about half a sec of each other (?).

Pretty cool though to beat a RWD V8 :D:D

[Mat C]

Yeah, i thought it would be close too but the result being the other way around ! Plus he didn't get any wheel spin. Just goes to show what a few basic mods' can do to a ZS180. I don't think it would have been the same if it was factory spec'.

Yes, that and the announcement of the retrospective tax being scrapped has restored my faith in the old Zed ! :)

Yes, that and the announcement of the retrospective tax being scrapped has restored my faith in the old Zed ! :)I don't know whether "scrapped" is the word to use knowing this govt - can pretty much guarantee that it'll rear its head again at some point:wall:

[summerfies]

How much do the vis motors cost?' I think i have a problem with them as my 180 seems to struggle a bit now.

[stamford]

They can be repaired if you are that way inclined, a full thread on this can be found over on xpf. If bought new, I think I have seen prices of around £58 mentioned. There is nothing to them, a small pcb, one tiny motor and a couple of v3 micro switches.
