Hi Some of you might have seen my ZS in the members cars but i thought i would put it in here as will be having alot of posts soon.
Abit of background:
I got the car about 2 months ago now for £370 with no mot or tax. got the car through a mot with just buying a lamber sensor and some brake pads.
Ive not done much to the car yet as not had the money too do so but im just collecting parts at the moment.
My plan is to vvc it in a couple of weeks,last week i got my self a 160 vvc with a converted loom for the ZS for £170 with a new HG,cambelt,water pump but need to find a 160ecu and inlet then get a 180 front splitter and spoiler and refurb the wheels.
Ive cleaned up the engine ready to go in just need the last bits and hope it goes to plan. Anyway i'll put up some pics for you to look at.

Thanks

Cool project.

I was looking at body kitted mk2 120's with the view to either VVC or K4 tubby but then my mk2 came up.

Bargain, great looking motor.

Sounds like a lot of work, good luck with the engine swap.

We have a 160 vvc TF, they do go well!!!

Thanks for the luck think im going to need it lol.It dont look to much work really going to use the gearbox in the car(not sure what box ive got) so may have to swap the flywheels over for it to run.

Just waiting for some cheap 160 parts to come up then i'll be getting it ready to go in so hopefully soon!

I love mk1's in xpower grey. Looks a good project.

I've always got cheap 160 parts

let me know what you need.

I'm considering selling converted looms for this type of conversion as I've seen a couple now that look like a 3 year olds made them!!

Yeah the loom ive got has been done pretty good i'll upload a pic tomorrow of it.

All i need is the Ecu and inlet then should be ok to go in.
