I posted this up in the zr facebook group last night and everyone just moaned we didn't use the 160 pistons which are a bit stronger even though the 143 uses these pistons anyway and it goes to 160 without hurting

Hehehe! Good effort though...120bhp is silly for such a car
You're right though 120 is too little power , but a 2.5 v6 180 is too thirsty/expensive to buy. The best option would have been a 1.8t but the vvc was easier (i think)
