    Twingo engine in a mk2 1.2?

    Yeah best way is to dp a full swap, although finding a custom fit manifold for turbo might be where costs come in, but the mk2 ph1 is surely lighter than the twingo, so wouldnt mpg be increased? (excluding hammering it)

    Twingo engine in a mk2 1.2?

    i've been considering this for quite some time, although mine been a 8v, would have to convert to 16v. You can buy the twingo engines with about 40k for £400-600 w/o turbo. They are only small so cheap to pick up. You would be looking under £800 conversion. Although alot of people will outline...

    Painting whole bumper with aerosols.

    Oh and if you end up painting it, dont use halfords paint! worst colour match and quality, find a paint specialist around you that will make you a aerosol to match your paint code. Be sure to get their primer and 2k laquer, may cost tad bit more, but end result will be loads better. Round my end...

    Painting whole bumper with aerosols.

    once down to plastic, use about 2/3 coats of primer, sanding between each one, use 600-1200 going up each coat. paint apply 2/3 coats using 1200-2000. use a high grade paper after last coat of paint and sand until dull. Apply laquer, 2k laquer would work fine, will last you a while before it...

    172 F4R engine into 1.4 8v advice please

    Did you get the clocks to go with the engine or you wanting to use your own? I think with changing to ph2 would be a little complex, guess it just depends on your knowlege understanding. If your removing the a/c then officially you would need to pay for it to be de gased. Just be careful if not!

    Homemade induction kit.... breather filter question

    that normally refers to the width of the filter opening, depends on what size hose your using, measure the width of the hose that your using to connect to the block or if its feeding of the main. Maybe a pic of your setup would help.

    Cambelt / water pump help. All responses welcomed. Thanks

    Ive had this changed on mine before, you may aswell do them all together as you have to take them off to get to it. However i paid a friend to do it for £30, i should suspect a garage to be looking about £120
