Mobieus_uk Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 1st thing i would do is find out what power I'm getting at the moment as if you have a tired engine with a output lower than stock i would ask myself the question is it worth the bother with this engine, unless of course you have fully stripped and rebuilt the engine and know its history, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff13 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Car should be home marrow so I can start fitting the cage so will get pics. The car has done almost 100k with full history it still has mot till end of April car will be running as standard for a while till daughter get to grips with it. I have cut down the loom removed anything that not needed or will burn so am hoping to keep weight down as using a smaller engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 whether its the 75bhp or the 100bhp sport model is important because of the better brakes on the later model, these are more use than the power difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff13 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I think its the 75 bhp but not to fussed about brakes as there won't be a lot of grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
