not really worth spending on the engine imo it'l cost you a shit load of money for not allot of bhp

just drop a different engine in there if you want more power plenty of cossie engines floating about

Would be cheaper to just buy a proper one once u have brought a good engine and everything else that it will need!
Plus if u are honest to the insurers it could work out more expensive than a real one due to it being highly moddified from standard

As above m8 whot size is the engine 1.6 / 1.8cvh / 2.0pinto or a 2.0 twin cam

If it smaller then the 2.0 then go for the pinto or a twin cam but the twin cam will cost more to mod were as the pinto is a comon engine and cheaper for part ect

a good mate of mine bought a white saff for £2100 had a few little problems but nothing that wasnt sorted out for a few hundred quid and a bit of elbo grease.

so i would say look for a cossie, then you can sell your neons with your other car

(only joking about the neons, each to there own though )
