hello all,

me n a m8 of mine have just brought a fullybody kitted mk3 fez, complete with alloys n then lot, was really cheap as its little 1.1 engine is dead,

we've took this out, but now we r tryin to find a nice rs lump to put in its place.

does n e 1 knwo of where 1 is?
how easy of project is this 2 fit?
wat eles do we need to consider, (im think brakes and suspension but is there owt eles??)

cheers ppl

easiest would be to find a rear end plonked fez rs turbo and swap the engine, ecu, brakes and all over. as for suspension buy some new shocks and springs ya numpty

Low Down And Dirty

The suspention will have to be changed if not for handling then for the fact that the CVH engine weighs a lot more the the 1.1 ovh.

Brakes would be a good idea, I have a set of RS1800 calipers sat in my garage if you want to upgrade to stock RS setup (never miss a sale ), or you could go for a Cossie setup or perhaps summin bigger

As for the change of engine it's not to but a job, the basic engine goes striaght in, you'll need the loom and ECU as well and that's really a peice of piss to put in, just plug it into the right places and bang in the ECU.

You'll also need the RS Rad, intercooler and fan setup. I think you my (sure I'm right) have to change the tank, or put a pump in the one you've got.

Like DmcL said your best bet would be to get a rotten or read ended FRST as a donner car.
