hey ppl,
ma wee sri has got some funny amount of miles on the clock and i want to know what i/garage can do to fix it eg rebuild or would it be worth it to just try and buy as good a conditioned one as possible, mod it then put that in, what would be the least expensive way ov doin it

oh yeah, would my insurance compant consider the car as havin a transpant or will they not bother as long as its the same size engine

thanx

i asked my insurance company that very question... they reckon they would have to send someone out to inspect the work on it and make sure...
so as long as you dont try and bullpoo them i suppose you will be ok.

that is quite high mileage ste...
and i was concerned when my merit passed the 60k mark...:D
but since then your 1.2i has had some magic worked on it hasn'tit ste... now your car is faster than any other 1.2 in the world i reckon... maybe because its not a 1.2i, i dunno...

what i mean is - how do you make the car last that long... you know... nova - prone to falling apart and rusting at the slightest hint of winter...
