My thoughts too, would never take a grinder to something like a 16i, plenty of base specs still around!

It wasn't the original engine.I believe it was replaced after I sold it.
The original engine looked to have been turbocharged at some point in it's life too.Think it was sold along with another 16i that the guy had at the time.
