What Can You Do To The 1.6 8v Engine

Right then.

How about a build for £50 and whats lying in the garage and see if it will last a couple of hard runs ha ha. the seven grand can keep on whistling

 

Still gonna do something along these lines. Never had a bottom end go. Does it go with a bang

 

Why not make it a scrap heap challenge? See what everybody can do with +-100 pounds in a year time

a friend of mine once bought a 1.6 205 with a knackered engine for £30 off this forum and a bx 16v with a knackered body and drivetrain for £62 off ebay and the rest of the story is obvious

My MI fitted with cams and weber carbs - the bargain price of 50 quid can ya beat that?

 

Oh and thats with 309 rear beam and the 2 spare mi heads i have in the garage

 

Only thing wrong with it was the head gasket was gone!!!
