is 170 bhp to much for the z car mini ???????? for the z car mini, like theres only one? :S people have 160bhp from an R1, a fair bit more from a busa, and a vtec beleive (type r) gives a fair amount of bhp in the 200's

ah your talking about the zetec on ebay.....

dont believe z cars do a frame for a zetec, dont know if it could fit a vtec frame, or could be adapted...???

seems reasonable, £750 for ful engine wit 160-170bhp, upgrades to 240

needs more research i think

if this could work it would bring the costs down at least a grand and the engine is brand new

my budget so far £0.00

if any one knows about this ztec then let us know

thanks all
