He's not helping. I was worried enough with Mew's cryptic post!

So after Mew's revelation of the very interesting article I thought tonight I would have a nosey through the history folder.


Erm I a bit shocked!

Engine - £3K ish with the management
Suspension - £600 including all the poly bushes
Exhaust - £400

What's so special about the engine and the management, then?

Nothing earth shattering just expensive.

The bottom end is a C&R 1.9 which the receipt says was £1800. The manifolds were £300 combined. The head was £500 and the Vsam-Pro unit was £400. Plus gaskets etc which were another few quid.

I'd be surprised if you weren't pushing 140 bhp with that little lot!  :cool:

it did feel similar to a standard 1.8 16v, but with a bit more mid range maybe, it is noticeably faster than the 1.9 8v that came in mine  :afro:

lots of bits there to whack on ebay when you step up to the abf  :laugh:

Indeed although I'm quite partial to it as it is. I'm not over keen on the Vsam Pro though and I'm toying with the idea of some bike carbs instead.
