suposed to be good for handling etc. Plus I think they are a nice looking car. Prefer the pre facelift ones myself. What is the 160? 1.4 16V?


Just watch out for headgaskets. If it hasnt had it done it will need going soon most probably. Mates has gone twice

160 = 1.8 petrol with VVC (standard 1.8 is 120)

im the opposite, cant say i like the facelift ones!
Saw one in Ipswich and i took one look at the oil cap and that was enough for me to walk.....it was covered!
had AA inspection done on another and HG is suspect with VVC on its way out and the rad core is breaking up!! quotes on the repair work put me off!!

seems il have to be less specific on the car i'm after/look away from the ZR

Hey babes,

just put it back to std while you drive it then get another car and sell your car as standard.
