engine swaps...i still think the way to go is the 'slant' 3 pot dihatsu 850cc OHC motor from the little panel van........revs like hell,plenty of ooomph and not to overwhelming for the gearbox or suspension (or body shell joints,even with my few mods,my joints are moving)..and will fit in the back without panel mods...and if you want to,you can get the turbo etc straight from the fwd hot hatch version.my Bis came very close to having that fitted!.perspex engine cover,alloy spare mounted in the back,very f40 :wink: ..............on that subject,why do not more people rod/mod Bis's?....they are desperate for engine upgrades from new!!???,why bugger up perfectly good a/cooleds?..... :wink:
mind you,tuning the a/c motor is a very good way of £pending lot$ and not going much faster/quicker!!! :roll:
