the 1.2 8v sounds like a bitch :thumbs:


it may stay :lol:

matt the 1.2 16v is much less reliable than the 8v, trust me :o

my 1.2 8v has done 132000 miles now and im gonna swap it with another 1.2 8v its alot less hassle than a larger engine etc, im only 18 now so i wont be able to afford insurance if i put anythin larger in so im the same shoes as you matt h!

hopefully in a few years if i got money! il put a 1.6 in and tune it a bit, but until then just gonna focus on getting it goin and lookin ok,

ttt

its just a case of extending all the wires out into the engine bay, as the ecu is there, othere then that it should be the same as any other conversion really.

the 1.2 16v engine is hard to do as the wireing loom is all different etc! wouldnt bother with it, find a 1.4 or 1.6 16v?

no i need a reliable run around car & this engine would be ideal

Get grip. Put a XE on TBs in :|

no im not taking the piss :|


my 1.2 8v has 126k on the clock & theres a 1.2 16v lump for sale near me for £100. i could probably get the gearbox for abit extra too

at the mo the gearlinkage on the 8v is fooked & thats gonna cost me to get it sorted


is it worth converting it? how hard would it be?


thanks
