Dont go on ebay drunk!!

Hey people! After a bit of drinking, i may kind of accidently bought a 1.8 mg f vvc engine on ebay
Since im never gona get much back of the car i thought i may as well have a bit off fun and see what i can make it do on a reasonable budget!!

Anyways.. The engine mounts fit in the Rover 200, 25 and the zr. Im just wondering if they would be ok for a mk1 120 zs though? if not where am i likley to get some?

Cheers all

Nutter

LOL, You really are a *** Nat! Should be an awsome project for over summer though. The engine mounts should be fine. Id be interested to know the differences between the 145 bhp and 160 bhp engines though.

145bhp and 160bhp?

doesnt he have a ZS 120? which is 115bhp? or is that modded to 145bhp?

and isnt the standard output of a 1.8 VVC 135bhp?.. or isit 145bhp? either way, where does 160bhp come from? confuuuuused!
