DannyParanoid Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've had a quick search around and not found a lot, but how hard is it to convert a 1.0 to 1.4 sport? I've got the opportunity to buy a lupo sport, but It's yellow and I'd like to keep a black car without the hassle of a respray, a wrap's out of the question because I wanna do that anyway, to orange, but orange outside and yellow inside isn't a good look, so yeah after some advice please I'm fine with changing the rear beam to the one from the sport so I have disks all round, but if its a lot of work (over a weeks worth of solid work) then I won't bother and just wait for my next car...

SamEdwardSwain1 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 i was going to do this when my engine died but came across a 1.0 arosa lump for half the price of a 1.4 16v its best part of 7 hours to change a 1.0 for a 1.0 engine (im doing mine today) then stuff like pas pump to deal with probably could do it without too much hassle because you would have a doner car to take rad and stuff from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah there may be a smurf in the intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyParanoid Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Think I may just have the sport and run that now, anything else to look out for other than blue smoke and general problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
