Must be tens of thousands in US. Any other questions I can answer? Oh, when I drove one in US it felt really flat and tired. Must have had under 100 bhp and the auto box propably took half of it.

Speak to specialised engines about the 1.9 engine. Oh did you know you can go for the 2.1 litre engine to looking at 3000+ though.Go to www.specialisedengines.co.uk

ive heard the same storys, you see some that are knackers and some which are good.
ive had a fair bit done to mine and had it live mapped. i havent driven a ZVH version so they might be better, but the 1900 was a big improvement in drivabilty for how i use it compared to the 1600 i had.

thanks
