advise on a SR 1.4 jreg

[orange_andy]

jus wonderin wot kinda performance it has i mean u read 0 60 in bla bla but theres normally alot of lies an stuff about that, jus wonderin wot it can do top end and from stand starts, its got exhaust n filter 115k miles an cheep for wot it is jus wondern wot the performance is like though coz ill be going from a suzuki baleno 3dr hatch 1.6 16v which was good when it was runnin 120 top end easy n shifts from the lights, so not sure if its gonan b a complete drop in performance cheers

Well obviously the 1600 16v would beat a 1400SR. As it has 200cc more and 8 more valves. I dont know how heavy a suzuki baleno is tho, as i've never heard of one.
A 1.4SR is 72bhp from the factory, exhaust and filter would probably make it about 75bhp tbh. 0-60 is about 11 seconds for one IIRC.

suzuki baleno
dont even know what that is, sounds very gay though. the sr will do just over 100, dont listen to people that claim to have done 130 in their 1lt novas as they dont know what they are on about. Also the 0-60 will be over 10 seconds. Still saying that you can get some good power out of them, and with some weight loss can scare a much more powerful car. Have a look around in the features section to see some for yourself.

ill have a look, dont diss the baleno, its like a nova, its the machine that can scare the willies out of bigger cars, me baleno did vtrs and did 120 down the motorway so it isnt a shitter by ne means jus absolutly SHITE for parts and servicing, probs gonna take the car for a test drive, ne ideas what to look for thats wrong with the sr with 115k miles on it,
