Its in my car, sitting there and laughing at me. Got an induction kit/ exhaust..but from experience ive found its hard to get tuning parts.

Can anybody help me??!! Contemplating engine conversion, but seams like a ball ache. Just want to know what other people opinions are on this supposedly "economic" peice of crap.

cheers

C14NZ, 60bhp. very economical, better than the 1.2 version, but still slow.

Are you having a laugh or taking the piss Took me 3 days to get my 1.6 to start cause i didnt know what to do with the wiring and theres still loads that needs sorting

Brakes bleeding, alternator tensioner, anitfreeze/water leakage under header tank, battery tray back on covers on, drive and hope it doesnt brake down.
