tell insurance immediately and sue him for whiplash/stress. Then you have more money for modding your car.

sorry i disagree. 1.2 16v has the F13 gearbox. Luke had this on his car. Was a 1.4 8vSRi, and changed it to a 1.6 16v Turbo with Mantzel box and his ran fine.

prices are
1.6 16v about 750-1000
2lt 16v about 1500-2000
to make a 1.6 fast like andys your talking MAD MONEY where u start with a 150bhp stanrd with the 2lt, and a mid 14sec 1/4 mile

Most del sol's here are 1.5 16v and come with 130bhp approx. My bro has a bravo 1.6 16v and left him far behind.
U must be talking about the 170bhp del sol. If your referring to the 170bhp del sol then your right, you have to spend much more $$$$.
Thanks for the prices BeArDy

Actually since his is a 1.2 8v, it will be the f10 gearbox which is good for nothing other than a 1.2 8v. The f13 on the other hand is a much more suitable bit of kit. But if you are going for a 1.6 engine, you might as weel get the matching gearbox.
