would it be worth it

[shanehandley]

ive currently got a 1litre nova and ive got some insurance quotes and it a int much difference with the price to ensure a 1.2!

ive only 17 so cant go much bigger, would it be wort putting a 1.2 in to my 1.0 would it be worth and how hard is it and what would i need other than engine.

[mikeoxford]

yeah why not

1200 are quite nippy

[joeczucha]

Good plan, just don't forget that 1.2i deliver the same BHP as the 1.0 carb (45bhp i think it is) due to the Cat, so make sure you get a 1.2 carb or you'll be kicking yourself! J

[mikeoxford]

due to the Cat,

and the cr@p single injector i mean c'mon what were them vaux guys thinking :roll:

Do it... you can actually tune a 1.2 engine without it blowing up lol!!!

When i was checking out insurance quotes for a mate or mine the 1.2 carb mk1 was ?150 cheaper with liverpool victoria than a mk2 1.0!!!

[ade]

why not get a 1.4? I'd be surprised if there was a massive jump in insurance even at your age - or even a 1.3?

both of these have potential to be tuned and in the future can be modified to deliver more BHP.

I got some quotes for when i was getting a new nova and it was only another ?6 a month to have a 1.3sr over a 1.2 so why not put a 1.3 in? Just a thought. the next step from a 1.3sr to 1.4sr is a lot more. Another ?30 a month on insurance or something daft like that!!

[shanehandley]

what would i need and do the brakes have to be uprtaed etc, could any give a list of what i need thanks loads

shane.

[burgessovsalford]

Dont quote me but I dont think you will need to uprate brakes from a 1.0 to 1.2?

[rgv_stu]

brakes are the same from 1.0 to 1.4

[mikeoxford]

brakes are the same from 1.0 to 1.4
sh!te LOL :lol:

[shanehandley]

if i put in the 1.2 would it be just a straight swap?

[mikeoxford]

if i put in the 1.2 would it be just a straight swap?

from a 1.0l?

if its from a 1.3+ then yes straight swap

if for a 1.0l, the engine mount between body and front left engine block, is slightly different on the nova engine, so make sure you get that with the engine, or buy one from a scrappy, i think its that mount thats different :roll: :? u got me thinking now.

anyway

one of the three engine mounts are different but easily swapped, and thats bout it

[Nova-Boy]

Have you allready got the 1.2 engine to put in it?

If not then i still think for the exra 6 quid a month on insurance the performance of a 1.3sr engine would be a better bet.

[shanehandley]

no aint got engine yet still lookin i need to get one from somewhere in devon as i cant collect from anywhere any further!

[Anton]

got a free one sat here

[Nova-Boy]

come again? A free one? What engine are you on about? A 1.2 or 1.3sr with or without gearbox?

[Anton]

mint 1.2 full service a few months ago, cambelt change a few months ago, its carbed and with a 5 speed box. Free if someone wants it

[shanehandley]

i would have it but i live in devon and cus im only 16 cant drive :cry: !how much would it cost for sum1 to collect it and deliver any1 no?
