undecided what to do at the mo .... tune up my 1.4 8v high torque or fit red top.

does anyone know how much power you can get from the 1.4 (realisticlly without going crazy) as I do like the fact that its a light engine and I can still go round corners properly

also how much of a pain is it changing from an 8v to 16v ?

if you wanna stay small block get a 16xe or an 18xe1

otherwise do the c20xe

to be honest most of the weight is the build itself not the speakers/amps look at the drop of the rear wheels .... its still on standard springs
