Great, as for reliabilty ect the 160s are run reliable so sounds good to me:)

whats the performance from a standerd 160, compared to a standerd 180, i dont seem to have a problem with handling on my 180, goes round sharp corners or long wide bends like its on a train track, and i find the more torque, the better it pulls u round/outta corners ect

I got a mention BOOM!!! :thumbsup:

Awesome upgrade though vvc is always fun need a video of it blatting it up a (private) road now :)

hard to compare as different characteristic between the two engines, k series zs is a perfect 50/50 balance iirc, should be pretty even really tbh with a 180, plus knowing marcus there wll be more tweeks soon enough

would be good to see how it compares to the 180 in a strait line I would think the 180 would be quicker but your 160 will mince in in the bends

Btw you need a "VVC Inside" sticker on the back now Get people thinking :)

only gripe i have is...theres no pictures:P

seen
 

a zs saloon go past me yesterday with a 160 badge onit, do they make the zs160 standers or it it a engine swap job, coz the car that went past didnt look any diff, and if your going to all that trouble of swapping engines ect wouldnt u change/upgrade the look ect:)

nope not standard, and marcus' car doesnt need anything doing outside

ill take your word for it, maybee he was in a 120 and changed the badge to a 160, neva seen 1 with that before, just made me wounder

Nothing much to take pictures of really, just the tell tale VVC mechs at top of
rocker cover & VVC manifold- Sorry-
Will look to some future upgrades with Cams etc & will take some guidance from Goldie on how to progress the car but within safe limits.
At some point I will get it on the R/R to find out what it is at now and use that as a starting point.
Little things that are on to do list is find MK2 160 ECU/BCU as at the moment I have no boot release from the Keyfob or front fogs without adapting switches to latch switches, had to do this for Hazard switch for MOT
and surprised myself by bodging something simple up for £1.80 from Maplin.

Other thing is the VVC mechs rattle like an old diesel tractor when car is stationary,cant hear anything but exhuast rip when moving,
but it is noticable and I guess I may just get used to it over time as it seems a rather common thing with the VVC.

Dont have plans to put "VVC inside" stickers on it or 160 badges as I would prefer just to surprise anyone that wants to go against a ZS 1.6.
