doesn't bother me 8v or 16v, i just bought it from a bloke at work, he spent all money doing it up,, now he got a 16v and now he's doing that up.. and he done a good job on it, and your right bout insurance too, my 4 years no claims had ran out by 3 months due to not having a car on road for 2 years..so got to start all again,,  :cry: :cry: and its the nippiest car i've had, had a 2ltr mg montego ages ago, golf alot quicker than that too.

If you're happy with your car that all that matters. Just remember not to race me if you find me at a set of lights ;-)

16v is awesome when you've been driving 8v for ages. the top end is balistic and alive 4.5k+

I would be embarrased to be beaten by an 8v in my 16v (any of them) Never had an 8v get close to beating me yet!! 
Would be nice to have a bit more power but after putting an MI16 into A 309 I CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH THE HASSLE!!
