nov4801, What do you want from the engine?

do you just want it a little perkier than std, a bit more tuned than that or kind of "max"(ish) spec for the engine?

get the bores checked to see if they require a rebore or not, but usually a 0.5mm overbore and std pistons is fine.

essentially read my 1.4 tuning guide in my sig link but think 1.6 rather than 1.4 lol Once youve decided your spec then you can hunt for prices better.
