slam a valver in and have done
I have a car that has done 12.5k from new. The body is in perfect condition. i have no intention of bashing it about..... I know that if i stuck a 2.0 engine in it, i would either be in a court room or a pine box..... I nearly died with 1.6 power once before... I use this car for a hobby, and i am getting sick of the jetronic setup continually playing up on me. So i thought if i got something newer, the parts supply would be easier.
Also, the jetronic is a damned awful injection system compared to a digital system, and as the lad who stock hatch races has proven, if it is replaced by something decent, it can make a lot more power than the factory one, with nothing much else done.
Let me have a ponder and I'll try to come up with something viable for a norvener
What do you need to "bash about"?? Those little alternators (mazz iirc) work dont they,them Kubota ones??
Have you considered a C or an X16xe 16v??
12.5k or 500miles i would do it all day long myself I had a 1 owner from new 21k swing (ripe for sport replica) and did that.
Ive nearly died on a Cub 90 before....its all about the time and the place and conditions get it wrong-yes you will come a cropper.
In regards to maps etc-ive no idea,i use a sat nav
Nah,one thing i do know is theres far more parts available for the xe or even the 1600xe's
andy, my eventual aim is a z18xe/x18xe1, but being a father of three girls in a building recession means my funds are tight to say the least....
i want to live with it for a bit, but it is full of erratic faults that i just can't seem to find....the ecu light comes on, then off, and it sometimes fast idles & sometimes doesn't, then it will die & then suddenly run ok... the only time it actually runs ok is when i absolutely cane it thru the gears to the limit, which can be fun, but a tad antisocial...
