Pointless mate! For the extra weight of the 1.8i and 90bhp and the cost of a fitting kit, you might as well have a 1.6 gte/gsi engine fitted for cheaper and more power!:thumb:

it will fit with the same mods & stuff you'd need to stick a 2.0xe or a 2.0 8v in, but the 1800 is hardly a performance engine.

pfft, try owning one before commenting, mines like a rocket. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, runs 11 second qtr miles and will easily beat scooby's, porches, 'rarri's and even a veyron or two anywhere.*


*disclaimer--the cav 1.8 engine is slow as fook and will NOT do any of the above. if you want a 90bhp engine buy a gte or gsi one instead:)
