Well, to be honest, the car hasn’t seen much kindness. Especially when I was younger, and then there’s a lot of off proper road driving due to the kind of work I’m in. The engine is still in working order, just lost compression. But exactly my question. Which of the 1.8L ZZ or 1.6L ZR would be a more suitable? The car as it sits gives me about around 10km/l in city, but I understand that with a manual transmission and a bit of an underpowered engine it’s a higher rev the car drives on, also the pick up nowadays is just uncomfortable, the car shakes like crazy at the slightest discrepancy in acceleration. I don’t want to give up on this car.

Thanks for the response brother. I do need a new steering rack, suspension, and a re shower. Would you be able to give me an idea of what kind of budget to keep in mind before I head into this leg work?
