right as some of you know i curently own J18 which is a 1.4 16v with 136bhp, and a 1.28v vegas which is my every day car

thing is im very very bored of it allready (the 1.2) and really don't look after it,

i have agreed to sell it to my bro in 6 months time (when he's 17) but i don't reckon i can wait that that long to change something

i can't decide weather to get the 8v resprayed and put a xe/LET in it, or buy a corsa shell, and build that, so in 6 months it will be ready, or buy something else

Sell and get a shell. If its going to be stripped out, might aswell get the money from it, then buy a bare shell, more cost effective.

Run the 8v until your brother buys it.

Mean while, save for something to buy after he buys it and put any spare cash towards the white one. Its only a few months...

I think it says :

Find a shell, stick a LET in it definately. Going to be hard not getting a red one though.

But, who knows, for all i know it could say 'Jr, bend me over big boy'

Personally, id leave it as it is. The thing is, you already have J18, is it worth running another performance car, you would then need another sensible car for work.

you need to bring it down to work when it's done, as none of the techs belive that engine will run 400bhp

New clutch, pistons, rods, injectors, bigger FMIC, big turbo, everything included. Why bother with an LSD?
