Its Frankenstein - seems a little pointless, maybe i should slap some ugly alloys, get myself down to a trophy engraver for a nice little plate, put it all on mrs fatmans zr160 and add a 2k to the price

second thoughts maybe 2.5k markup as the colour matches the bodykit and its not a ex write off. maybe "my dad" can get some gash stickers for me

IMHO, almost worthless never mind £4.5K

The owner is a member on the ZR forum. He said he has spent a fair bit on it.

I saw a advert on here about 4 years ago for a proper ZR prototype, it had the 1.8 turbo in it, engine bay was packed solid, they ended up going with the 1.8 VVC but i imagine that one would have been a bit of a handful.

Mrs Fatman loves her 160 but I hate it, the build quality is woeful, cheap tacky plastic, it feels like it is made of tin foil, the heater controls that "self centre" themselves drive me up the wall, but every time something goes I have to put my hand in my pocket (£500 for the exhaust, HGF , Alternator and battery, shed loads of tires to name a few, she refuses to change

horrible little car, cant wait for my 190+ ( that she will never be allowed to defile with her horrible driving style

)

The Dvla know this car as a standard zr160. According to the rolling road printout all his mods have done is add 3 bhp and 10lb to the torque figure. That plaque is the most stupid DIY thing I have ever seen.

I was reading about the 2l Judd engine. Looks great but needs rebuilding every 3000 miles of track use, hardly surprising it's still not there!
