Might be because they are using nm instead of lb/ft on the crossover point.

I went down to Portsmouth area a while back in a mk1 180 that I thought was all good. Mine made about 160. Another guy there made 190 with some breathing mods. Whatever the figures, as they had both been tested on the same machine, it was clear that his was more powerful so I checked my motors and the balance was not working properly - stuck open I think.... Replaced it and the car felt soooo much better. Anyway - if you're happy with it, fine, but I think that with a figure like that, and such a flat line, something is wrong and you could be looking at an even better car with some investigation into the motors.

I remember that day, mines the one which made the 190 😜. As for vis motors feeling a slight kick doesn’t mean they’re working fine. Got another zs when I moved out to Australia, felt good and didn’t feel down on power, felt like there was a kick at the usual rev mark but I have a tester and sure enough both were broken. Got some replacements and it felt much better 👍

This may be going up for sale again. :(

Really want to keep it, but just don't use it. And need a car to promote my business and that I don't mind using all year round. And don't want the ZS parked up all the time. :(

Shame, good example for anyone lucky enough to buy it.

I know, really don't want to sell it........but would end up in the garage over the winter. And that did it no good last winter.

I love your car and the effort you've put into it.

Would a Mirage TF bring you some attention for the business .... ??? :cool2:

Got a hard top for using it all year if you need to - although the general rule is wipers off - roof off ... Sure we could sort a swap type deal out ...

Well done, I haven't had mine out for a while and you have made that itch scratch looking at yours. Good work :)
