Hey guys thanks for the feedback, i have looked inside and i can see the engine cooling fan runs onto the inlet duct, almost as if the engine is very mildly supercharged.
As for a few comments about buying Fiesta etc, I have a Tuned 220bhp Mazda originaly 133bhp with a Turbo Conversion going on, iv already swapped engines and stripped with Forged internals, also im geting a R32 Skyline and dropping in a RB26 GTR engine, setup to 500Bhp for drifting. Im compitent enough to do something on the little fiat. Having a closer look around the car i think i'll keep with std engine for a bit. Iv now decided that i think a R1 or 1.3GSXR Hayabousa engine will be sufficient, i think ill have to chop the rear bulkhead slightly, i may remove rear seats completely. I'll lower the compression so i can run sufficient boost too.
Thanks for the feedback guys, im getting the vibe that a few on here are not quite convinced.
What ill do is do it and ill post up my progress along the way. I think the cars are classics, im aware they are classics so i will be honest from the outset. I want the car looking clean and original from the outside with chrome bumpers etc, but the interior will be a different story. Due to the nature of these old classics, original parts that i am not using or finished with, ie the two engines i have, interior, trim, wheels, etc i will post up and you are welcome too as i believe these little cars deserve to be kept in best possible condition and if i can help originals i will, if im not using it, its yours. :cool: thanks
