Heard there meant to be very quick for a 1.3

[burgo]

they are quick, i know as they've got the same engine as me civic and thats quick for what it is

[Riggy]

100 bhp on the gti quick for a 1.3 :o

Ugly as sin with a cracking engine, I've seen a few Novas with Swift GTi engines in, suposed to slot right in apparently 8)

[burgo]

i doubt they slot straight in but they are used alot in novas for grass tracking

[Matt Nova]

I had the sedan version with the 1.6 16v SOHC engine in, the heads are weak as hell and I blew 2 before I decided to get rid.

Looked good though and was 4WD, had the factory bodykit on and extras.

i think they are great little cars, theres loads of them around the grimsby area lol

[Philsutton]

seen a mini with one of these engines in an it was running low 14s all day

[a11ova]

the japs allways build quick cars, so cant go wrong really 8)

I had one! popped two heads on it in about 3 months, lovely to corner though, just need a stronger motor.

I found a bloke in scotland doing hillclimbs in them, he has a 1.6 with the GTi twin cam head on.

And they are not that fast, slower than an SR, maybe with no weight in they would be.

[Snowface]

they are 101bhp standard i think.

my mates got one. With a few straight forward mods 10-20bhp can be unlocked apparently.
