right been thinking about getting car for road rallying and ive been thinking about getting mk2 xr2, corsa sri 16v, 106 rallye, etc. but keep coming back to a nova :) so should i go with 1.3 with twin 40's or 1.6 gte engine
your opinons please
neither you should go for a 1.6 gte/gsi on 40s or 1.6 16v
what about a 1.6 on t40's?or is there certain rules/classes that dont allow it?

i think there are certain rules that 1.6 t40s would brake but i know someone who did rally with 1.3 with t40's and that was ok because the sport even though that car was a sr
but 1.6 t40's would be good for stage rallies

Either the 1.3 T40 or stick some 40's on the GTE engine :)
Personally, for cheap effective power, a 1600 with a few more tweaked bits. Sod using carbs altogether, as soon as you hit a water splash and muddy water launch's up the firewall soaking the trumpets/sock filters you'll see my point ;)

I would probably go for a 1.6 16v really, younger engine.
No replacement for displacement :thumb:

1600 on TBs:D
im a fan of the 1.3 on t40's but as mike pointed out one water splash that would be a problem so 1.6 16v with no t40's.
