Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with the car besides me wrecking it : (... but its back together now and running strong as ever. :)
This is an amazing car for the price... Its fun to drive, reliable, good looking, performance is good (even better after my upgrades), a good selection of quality performance upgrades, and most importantly... IT Doesn't HAVE THAT CIVIC WEED WACKER SOUND!!!
UH-OH! No Civic weed whacker sound? That is the sign of a well built quality engine. Are you sure you should not take your muffler off and see? Maybe that is why it makes no weed whacker noise? Well I am willing to bet that Honda still has better engines, even if they do sound like weed whackers.
Actually that Z-Tec engine in the ZX2 has proven to be very reliable and has many performance mods offered.
Wow, a lot of upgrades? no way! too bad it's electronically limited to 105 MPH, so keep racing them GEO's.
Actually, the Ford Escort has problems with dying on the highway, and during braking. Reliable engine??? Don't think so.
