was my first choice, but:o 2.5k is allot to spend for 164 bhp, when the LEt conversion will be around that. may still go for them


Everyone is getting a valver or a let. Go for the more interesting option. Plus TB's sound AWESOME! :D

Alot of hype behind it from ppl who dont know n e thing about it :thumbs:

My ins @ 21 with 4yrs NCB Is £1500 FC with HIC (on an LET)

Adrian flux quoted me when i was 20 with 3yrs NCB £2k. Which considering i was under 21 is not bad!

Aint rung flux yet to get 2nd wuote as i dont wanna jinx this engine im in dealings with!

Get the LET!

SteveW's was only about £100 more than a valver :)

Get a 2.0 16v and build it up to a fast road spec using throttle bodies, cams, verniers, bigger injectors e.t.c... N/A all the way!

valver would be good power, LET would be more but loads on insurance. to get the most power for my money i think LET is worth it, but insurance would prob rape me. i duuno

posted on 27th Aug 04 at 21:38

LET or a valver depending on your prefferences and budget :)

posted on 27th Aug 04 at 21:37

will be trading in my 12v:lol: for a sport, but thats still not good enough, options are:

1.6 sport - put sdb 164 tapered throttle boddies on.
1.4 sport/sxi something with electrics and the like - valver
same as above - LET

dunno, what do other people think, taking into account insurance ect:boggle:
