[stroutsy]

hi. atm i have a 1.2i and wanting to put a 1.6 in. could you give me some pointers on what i would need like bigger brakes etc, cheers...

Well you would need an engine first, obviously, and funnily enough I have a C16XE I don't want with all the bits needed to make it run :)

You can use the 1.2 shafts, I think you could also use the brakes but I'd upgrade them to 2 litre discs and calipers (don't bother with drilled and grooved discs)

You would need to change the fuel pump.

stroutsy, work out what engine you want & then make sure you get the complete engine with all relevant pipes & wiring, plus the gearbox, then have a looky on the how to articles
