It's a SUV after all, they cannot handle as good as a car since of higher center of gravity usually.*** This in the bold, maybe you could do some aftermarket mods to the engine to get a little more punch, like a supercharger or a cold air intake kit to start with.

That's what Im thinking about to get easy NA power out of the Holden engine, but Im NOT gonna either turbo or supercharge the motor.* remember the zoo at 130 hp is a heavy SOB,* If the ZX2 raced with the zoo, the zoo wud lose the race by a mile despite the ZX2 having 130 hp and less weight
 
It only has 130 hp? My honda has 127 hp out of a little 1.6 liter. :lol:
 
maybe time to sell your zx2?

-more room on the driveway
-one less car insurance payment to worry about.

I know how u feel, I've had my 1983 chevy impala that had a 305 4 barrel for about 6 years. i sold it then i was going to buy it back from the guy and restore it but he junked it...fucking idiot. oh well, my total loss.

That car will always be in ur heart and memory. :)
 
UPDATE: The zoo is at the hospital now. The doctor is gonna have to do a clutch transplant on it. Weird, only 114k miles and I have to replace the clutch :( The Ford STILL got her original clutch with 157k miles and I had to replace one on my old 1994 Ranger at 135k miles.

Otherwise, the dealer gave me a list of parts I have to collect to finally extinguish the Check Engine Light. Looks like Im a gonna have to do the job myself, but it will be quite a learning experience tho....

Well, maybe the previous owner didn't know how to drive a manual. I burned out the first clutch at only 67k miles, not joking you.
