To further quantify - when time and space allow I may even KV6 the maestro....

Id be tempted to swap if it was a really nice one. ZR Turbos are a fair bit quicker than a 180 its a car rover should have built tbh.
The fact that's is registered as a 1.4 would put me off though its not worth the risk.

Yep true its a lot of hassle and risk i dont really need when i dont have any of that hassle with my zs and thats the best thing i like about it,cheap on insurance and its not that bad to run if driven sensibly,and i had a zr and no matter how much i looked after it it started to bubble and rush on all four arches? i never got why but the three zs ive had never had any rust issues at all really? a zr turbo does intrest me but only if done properly to the right standards it should be really and you was right stamford i just hope to get to come along to some meets on the forum now too ive been registered a while and never been to any on here :-),
