The 120 has more room to play with when it comes to induction, having heard a 120 with a decent install it sounds bloody good when opened up! If executed properly it is fine, depends on what you want to spend and what noise you would like.

i want the most aggressive loudest noise ideally. as well as most efficient placement for best performance. i have been reading up, and a cold air feed induction kit is apparently best for performance. i trust your judgement so whatever you think will be best for my car i will go with!
XPCobra- that's a project for the distant future

I often think I want to sell or I want to do this to my car. Usual way to get over it is take the car for a B road blast!

...and i'd say (well, i know  ) that the ZS can do OK on 'B' roads.

Interesting, not sure what else you would need or indeed convert to utilise it. Check out the QED website http://qedmotorsport.co.uk/

I bought my MK 2 for £7200, spent about 8grand in total on the car then sold it for 6k 2 months after having the cams done. Damn money pits!
I've not even got the vxr yet and I've bought new toys for it!
