can't you buy/fit throttle bodies to a 1.2 8v??, surely it must be some relation of the 1.3/1.4 8v in the novas??
just curious

Because it's a total waste of time over buying a car with a bigger engine.

if it was a 1.2 16v I could believe it making 110 bhp.
But a standard 1.2 8v = 45 bhp.
I can't see that getting nearly 150 % gain of power.

not really. It'd still be disapointing.
I can't believe a 1.2 8v on carbs made 110 bhp.
Plus it'd have no torque.
