View Full Version : Just got a new car!! now with pics***
getting my new car friday!!
k plate sri in blue with g max kit, toad alarm, and a new set of astra sxi rims!(which are for sale)
only prob is it has a cracked head! paid ?250 for it and is mot'd till july :lol:
will do for a winter run around! gunna put a 1.6head on it for now, if thats ok to do??!
ill get some pics up!
the 1.6 head may drop your compression ratio a little bit.
camb will this matter too much? should i just get a 1.4 head? c/r is that acording to epc lmfao
erm WRT the epc, i tend to ignore it for "facts" lol.
i havent measured the heads etc but i belive that the volume of a 1.6 head is a little larger than all the others.
anyway. get a 1.2 head, much better ;) lol. if you can try to get an sri head.
ok think i can find a 1.2 head.. will give it a spot of exhaust porting aswell :lol:

Dan i think the SRI has a unique head and i dont think any other cylinder heads will fit it right. Dicko or Ste will know more. Rick

Was it the SRI engine that was used in some Daewoos or something?
I believe the C14SE cylinder head is the same as the C16SE head of which I have a modded one spare in my garage ;)

I am seriously considering getting rid of my megane now and getting another nova for a few hundred quid, the quality of the ones around now is amazing, plus dirt cheap insurance!!

My old SRI is for sale at the moment on autotrader the lad who brought it is selling it on. I used to love that car. Rick
yea! they sound awsome! the induction roar is hooj :D they are well nippy for what they are! just need a dam cylinder head! :roll:
i think i will keep it for the winter to use as ive got a few plans for the turbo now as this has come along it gives me loads of time to faf around with the nitros kit and intercooler etc etc
