geordie_aaron Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 i've got a "tuned" one m8 lol for 1st car i cant cry at all!!! you can get millions of mods for em (most of which i got) but not THAT much BHP gains as far as reliablitlity is concerned you can run the fookers into the ground and they'll just turn into a tractor and keep going lol i'd go for a 1.8 they got alot more potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 1.6 goes ok if you don't mind having your foot on the floor and above 4k rpm all the time Go for the 1.8 if possible Welcome to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I have a 1.6 and like metioned above its alrite but really to get it to go anywhere, you pretty much have to have a concrete right foot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 If you want the truth they're shite, but cheap insurance Z<{POST_SNAPBACK}> i wouldn't say they were cheap insurance particularly, but i'll second the bit about 'em being shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWERSCORT Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 u need a 1.8si mate,just like the one that i have for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 they aren't too bad, the heavy right foot thing is true, the 1.8 is better even in 105bhp guise but then you'll pay for that on insurance etc, many 1.6s particularly the LX have been owned by familys etc and not thrashed, they're better than having a 1.1 fezzie or a 1.2 nova thats for sure.

BlairM Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 1.6 was £300 cheaper for me to insure over a year...but if i had the choice again i'd perhaps pay that 300 more.. don't get me wrong good car but I'd agree with everything about heavy right foots!

SteveA Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 u need a 1.8si mate,just like the one that i have for sale <{POST_SNAPBACK}> very subtle. deffo the 1.8, or buy a 1.6 and put a 1.8 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
