Might even have a look at getting it for myself haha.

#19: Re: 206 project Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Wed Feb 20, 2013 3:05 pm ---- Im guessing you wont tell the insurance, so the only valid swap you could do is a 1.6 TU and the insurance wouldnt be able to tell the difference.
What year is your car?

Even then it would have to be the 8V lump and the engine number mysteriously changed.

Or ground away, or just like PSA and you generally cant find the f****r. Im struggling to match bloody engine bearings and the engine completely apart
8V can be quick, if you throw enough money at them

lmao, sure you haven't bought one thats had it done before?
Aye, but that's the case with anything is how much money you throw at it. Then if you want reliability it's more money again.

You don't need a big engine to make power - the Daihatsu Charade GTti has a 900cc engine but produces 99bhp from its turbo. Would love to have a go in that!
