nope, u just have a massive insurance premium to pay!!

i'd just wait (& save) for the year & half then get yourself a better car as a birthday present to yourself!

Thats exactly what my big bro told me! :)

I want to! Infact a month ago i was going to by a Honda CRX Del Sol (second hand from Japan, 135BHP standard!). They are quite famous here in Malta.

But the problem is that the insurance wont insure any del sols if you are under 21 due to the fact that it is considered as a sports car. That means i have to wait almost another 1 and a half year.

Is it that same at your country?

your better off just buying a more powerful car,

no point ploughing a lot of money into a very slow car just to make it a slow car.

save your pennies!

I've heard that if the standard camshaft is changed to a sports camshaft, there will be a high increase in power. How much bhp can be obtained on a 1.2 8v if this mod is performed?

I would be intrested in it but i've also heared that the car will be more difficult to drive for everyday life.

Did someone replace his 1.2 8v engine camshaft?
