Its already got the top VVC engine in it mate, 160bhp stock in a sub 850kg car is ok, would prefer a nice round 200...

:p

that can not be a lady puller!

Picked my current GF up for our first 'date' in my old rusty metro 2 years ago with a different colour front wing (and 155bhp...) and she didnt mind too much, although she keeps telling me she preferred the Glanza. Usually just give her a quick back hand slap and she soon shuts up ;)

Nice, should do at least 300 yards before turning itself in to a kettle! Seriously though, that shold be a right giggle to drive but keep an eye on the old temp gauge.

Thanks man, had a 1.1 badge on my old one but i'll leave this one as it is (looks wise), maybe go back to standard alloys ;)

With the MLS gasket and good condition cooling system there is no need to worry :rockon: Its a giggle alright

That will shock a few people! :drive:
