f its a project then drop an 1.8t engine in, or an r32 motor. but really a 1.4 is the bottom of the range with hardly any spec, be silly to use it as a project unless your gonna have it stripped out track car

I can't have it as a track car. It's how I get around. My girlfriend would kill me Haha. How many reasons are there for it to be burning oil. White smoke out the exhaust at high revs. More so in reverse.

The reasons for it smoking are normally expensive  :sad: unless you are good at stripping an engine and rebuilding.
