i dont know you. but you seem like a fool. As you've been around various times you know the rules. No warnings needed, its clear in the T&Cs you not allowed more than one account. As we have disabibled that account, starting another is not acceptable. I suggest you leave the forum well alone. Tigz.

Removed. You really should be keeping your head down. Tigz.

a stroker conversion? begin.

thats that answered then. having said that it may still appeal to someone who has a salvage 1.8 engine, can do the work themselves and fancies an NA engine while keeping the 1.6 block. is there any flexibility in the stroke length to get extra capacity out fo the 1.6 block?

the aygo crazy is better, toyota 1.8 mr2 engine turbo charged and mid engined rwd.

Would a £15-20k super tuned, fast c1/107/aygo be too to pricey to have a market? i expect thats what they would need to charge for a high end package in a car this size. depends if they made it mid engined or normal fwd i suppose..

the 1.4 twin charge and turbo charge are being introduced to more models across the VAG range so more options will be available in the future for salvage. as for the 1.8 boring of the 1.6 would it really be more expensive than getting another engine and paying for the conversion to done? i mean to keep it as a bored to 1.8 normally aspirated. i guess its a lot of work for not too much gain, still it would be different/interesting. i think the k series of engines 1.4 1.6 and 1.8 are all the same basic block. and we know from wild cammed 1.8 engines from honda and toyota 190bhp NA is a reasonable power goal, or with the k series engines 160bhp is what they were running i think in the mgf and some elise.

i like the whole range, 107, c1 and aygo. i prefer the aygo. i hope and expect them to be extremely popular cheap cars. and for the tuners they would make very fun turbocharged conversions, whilst also remaining in the same tax band due to loopholes on modifications of engines.

yes they are hugely strong tyres.

well i would call it normal acceptable service from vw and poor service from peugeot. its a warranty claim and it should be expected to get a free car until the work is done, its good that you have left the bad times behind.

if anyone can copy and re edit my post so it lines up be my guest..

tried editing it twice for correct formatting but it wouldn't work.. argh! more simply read this: R888 195/50 R15 8.8kgs T1R 195/50R15r 7.7 kgs 195/45R15 7.1 kgs 205/45R15 7.6 kgs 215/45R15 8.1 kgs

here are some weight (not found on the website) figures for the T1R tyre i have added the R888 specs suitable for 15" lupo wheels aswell. note the superb R888 tyres are 1.1kgs heavier than the equivalent T1R, something to bear in mind. i would say for a lupo running under 130bhp more performance could be had from having the lighter but less grip tyre of the t1R.

it maybe possible to use universal shims/spacers. but i think to know at what point the 90 degrees is achieved could be useful, i expect that normal suspension lowering kits -30 to -45mm will be ok, maybe even -60mm. anything more on coil over kits could be reaching the "too low" point for camber progression.
