WalkerDnB has a spectacular aura aboutWalkerDnB has a spectacular aura about
Im only going on what Ive experienced and that a few seriously fast fast T16's
Have to admit though the 180 has surprised me with just how fast it is
It seems to keep up with cars it really shouldn't
had a little play with a clio 197 (on a private road of course) it had nothing on the 180 just couldn't keep up
my car has a few mild mods

I have experienced 300bhp T16 cars which would out run a ZS 180 for sure but it will not put the power down as you wish, it will rip the chassis to bits, it will break down, and will be very old. All this against a stage one 200bhp ZS? is it worth it?

Dave_V6 for me did everything that was needed for a ZS. Showed that in modified form it ran for years and years without major issue at 210BHP.

Stuck a 300bhp Audi engine in there and it broke down each track day, coil packs, water pump, overheated brakes, turbo problems.
I saw it all.

Anyway that's my opinion but I based it on facts over the past 8 years.

Thumbs up

Hoping the rebuild with all the new parts / chassis upgrades should resolve 99% of the issues, the troublesome coil packs are being dumped!
