Hi,

Thanks. The main reason for asking is that I have the 1.6 engine and won't need to buy yet another engine. I'm on a budget and trying to use the resources I already own. Also, anything has got to better than the 1.3HCS!

So, you reckon it's doable with the SportKa engine? Any hints and tips for the swap over?

Cheers

Andy
