just about got the new 1.6 engine running properly. been wondering that it didnt really feel any better than the 1.4. for some reason i never checked it before just assumed it was right but just checked the engine number and found out i have got a x16xel pretty stressed out right now im gonna have the hassle of either ripping the engine back out or gettin a cylinder head. going to have a fun phone call i think

tbh in standard trim 1.4 1.6's are not that far from each other in performance, your only talkng couple of car lengths to 100mph maybe slightly more and high top end
