Sorry to hijack but im also looking to rebuild mine. What power would come from a similar spec but on a 1.6? | |

I would keep standard pistons and rods | |

ebay have rods and pistons for £700 but that would be all your budget gone, be a tough call to find pistons and rods cheaper than £500 tbf, a good rebuild with a few subtle mods will see 130-150 as daveybee says | |

Well ur goin 2hav 2think about what kinda power you want, 140-150. Is acheivable without changin pistons but strengthin the engine rod bolts etc. | |
