Eddie will become famous soon enough
Just found the thread, really hope this happens, I remember the ZS120 turbo back in the day, was a little temperamental but dam quick.
With time and experience I would say the problems have been identified so you'll have a good chance of success first time round, mouth watering prospect of VVC Turbo.
You ever thought of transplanting an MB6 engine and gearbox into the ZS120, box has an LSD as standard and the B18 in stock unopened form is good for 300+hp?
I know you like the idea of retaining the OE marque through-out but I would love to see something special, rotated lump so you have good weigh ballence as driver sits same side as gear box.
Come on G, get this VVC T finished
