Vtec!!!!????

didn't expect that lol

wow that sounds good, go for it! I bet its Jims input?!hehe

instead of vtec.. why not get fast road cam an 1.5 rockers etc would be much cheaper and probly make quite a difference!

v-tecs are bloody good but such a tight squeaze in a saloon mini, K series fit nice in saloon go for the VV-C one good 160 bhp

vtecs are like waiting for bad sex,you wait for ages for it to kick in then when it does its over in a second.lol.good in a straight line terrible in the twistys.

but then im a massive lover of keeping it a series,the way its meant to be.
a bit a purist

K series is much cheaper to do and you have a choice of 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v, 1.8 16v and 1.8 16v vvc which is similar to a vtec not quite as much power 143bhp standard but much much more torquey. have you seen me floor it in my mums rover before? it aint slow that has a vvc engine

does the wc stand for a weally crap becasuse someone with a speech impediment designed it.lol aseries all the way. sorry purist speaking

its V V C fool lol

a bit a purist=indigo]doesnt bother me as jim has a Mrk1 mini which doesnt get any purer than that! All original and not an injection!

Have you driven a vtec....oh well at the end of the day its MY car I will do with it as I please....personally I wouldn't supercharge my car but its not like i'd stop you guys doing it.

go for it been one hell of a machine with v tec xD will be lietrally BLINK cause u blink and its gone haha

yeah i agree it is your car yeah have driven a vtec,vauxhal,turbo.i say do it,but try go out in one first.i also dont personally like the 4 inch longer front end.i do like seeing the end product though

stick a K in it that would be my choice.

get a metro with k series engine and nick the subframe from it as got mountings for K series and we just scrapped a K series today XD

i think vtecs are common, they handle like shit cos weight distribution fucks up, stay a series with kad 16v head and straight cut would be better lol

not to mention front extensions ruin the looks lol

Going to go full k series, just because its more modern and effecient and you get 5 speed too.

just be warned with the 60,000 miles headgasket but put landrover later type gasket and should go for ages (Y)

the land rover HG makes no difference, we ran a k series freelander for 140k. Its the head dowls that are the problem, nothing to do with the gasket itself.

im not fan the old k series cause i work on the rovers n mg and landrover brange out a better gasket which we use now but the common prob is there linners burn away and can only skim em so far before nocks the timeing out haha
