Hey Robert, I'll keep it in mind but I'm hoping to find a 1.8.

On a side note, do you knowif it states on the log book what type of 1.8 it is? i.e. could I buy a 5 speed 1.8 and put the bigger brakes, LSD and 6spd box in one without having to declare mods?

Fergal, why not buy 1.6 and fit 1.8 if needed. Good bodywork is essential though

Insurance would be painful I imagine.

Because it'd be registered as a 1.6 with a 1.8 engine, no?
