Jrod 7 Posted February 12, 2007 The 1.3 rallye engine was 105bhp The 1.4 one was only 75. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M_R_205 5 1 Cars Posted February 12, 2007 The 1.3 rallye engine was 105bhp The 1.4 one was only 75. how easy is it to get arroud 100bhp from the 1.4, im guessing it shouldnt be hard, stiock some trwin carbs on off the 1.3 and bore the inlets out slightly??

Jrod 7 Posted February 13, 2007 I have found a piper 285 cam forsale for 65 quid delivered. I was going to buy it but am now going for a 1.6 head. If you want it i can drop you the blokes email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trogboy 17 Posted February 13, 2007 It's also worth mentioning that the 75bhp lump from the UK spec 205 rallye has an iron block which makes it ~23kg heavier then the alloy blocked 1360cc engines. There is some debate as to whether this really effects handling or not. This engine also has a different cam and slightly different carb to the TU3S engine that is found in the XS and the AX GT.

I'm not sure on courrier price but shouldn't be that much I don't think. Sent a set of 32kg wheels and that cost 43quid and they will take anything up to 70kg top end 20 quid 15 without camshaft. bottom end 25 quid. If you are intrested pm me your adress and I will get a quote for the courier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
