the plan was to dump a 1.6 nova gte engine in my 1.2 8v shell but due to the fact that i had no modern goodies (leccy windows etc) i thought lets shop around first before makin the decision for engine conversion. and i found this on here back in sept cheap as chips and sweet as a nut:
so i bought it for £1400 only 49k on clock and immaculate so i set bout changing my bits off my 1.2 onto it
so i lowered it 40mm put my fox 3 3evos on and put my angel eyes on
plans are as follows:
16" alloys (en route from daniel_corsa in new year)
colour coding
inlet manifold
4-2-1 custom ss branch manifold
decat
custom cat-back
remap (if i can afford 1)
this is just a quick photoshop on my car as to wot i think it will look like when done:
the plan is to keep it subtle and sweet no body kits just a nice fresh look, and under the bonnet a nice power reading hopefully 130-140 once shes done. not too ott as i will be driving this all the time

Nice 4-2-1 exhaust manifold is available from Dave A. Gave me noticeable gains throughout the rev range and sounded the nuts .
