Well thats only my Opinion,i know others will have diffrent veiws.Although a big part of it will be the owners including me not looking after it properly,as i havnt serviced it since ive had it,but thats just down to time/money. | |

I tickle the rev limit in 1st, 2nd and 3rd when i'm just having some fun ;) and depending on the road in 4th too. If you service it enough (i do mine every 5k) it'll keep on going. :thumbs: [Edited on 09-10-2008 by Steve X16XE] | |

Will be a straightforward swap but not as easy as fixing yours as long as it doesnt have mechanical dammage. | |

Yes your proberly right but i dont want masses of power,and also my X14XE has a few problems and i would rather just replace.Thats why i fought of a 1.6 8V as they are cheap and easy to fit am i correct? | |

A C16SE is the 100bhp one isnt it? TBH Id stick with the 1.4 because it would give better gains for the $$$ | |

would you not prefer spending the money modifying the 1.4 to (close to) 1.6 performance? 1.4 has more potential than a 1.6 iirc | |
