thanks for the info, do you think a 205 block (even with 4x4) would be able to handle 'standard' bhp??? the only mod (engine wise) will be a stainless steel pipe (cos it's already got it!!!), i live in the french alps and won't be able to put down a lot of power for a long time on these mountain roads. it's all point and squirt here!!!

150 outta a pinto... now that must have cost ya loads!!!

my white one is gonna stay standard, my black one (no sunroof) is gonna have a 2.3 scorpio 16v conversion with a full cosworth makeover (brakes, susp, diff, interior) and body kit... the 4x4 was gonna be scrap and used on the black one, but now i'm gonna have a play and see how i get on...
