I think it's hard to go back to a 4 cylinder when you've had a 6. I dunno how i'm going to do it if and when i have to.

Ditto. The only way forward from the 180 for me is going to be another 6 cylinder or MAYBE a Turbo 2.0+. The 180 is everything I want right now though, so dont plan on changing Having said that, I'd like to get her to 200bhp at some point.
Anyway, welcome back

thanks for the comments. tbh it wasnt even a hard decision.it was alot harder to leave than come back but after a few problems of the zt and slower acceleration times and always been in a low gear i have realised that the extra running cost of the zs isnt worth worrying about especially when its puts a smile my face twice as big as the zt did!
