170-180bhp is big money if you want it to last, i have 180bhp and have to kep spending on little bits to make it more reliable.... stuff like clutches and other small bits and bobs, aint cheap.... | |

if your going to strip it you wont miss the electrics and with throttle bodies you cant hear a radio if the car is stripped so get rid of that too | |

nath, what i would do then is buy a face lifted merit, swap all your good bits to the merit, and sell your car as close to stamndard as poss. the merit is a cleaner, lighter shell than a sport | |

Surely its going to cost in the same sort of region to insure a tuned X16XE as a C20XE as both are engine conversions? | |
