Chill out,good things come to those who wait.
Does your current car do 70mph? Coz you know that your not allowed to go any faster than that anyway
Just wait till you grow up and treat a car and the roads with respect, atm you sound like you'd crash it within a week.

You checked insurance cost with the 172 engine transplanted in? Sometimes can be more than just insuring a 172 itself.

You sell the 1.4 and buy a 172...Job done.

crowbar!

crowbar!

LOL...and some vaseline!

Or you just buy a 172, as above.

i would buy one but the problem is my insurance company are rippin me of to change my car so i thought stick a bigger engine in i t for now but ive done a bit of research and its not worth wastin the money on the heap any way , got plenty of time to wait so somthing pretty good must come cheers any way ....

 

[ushwac55]

crow bar would do for the rest of the car !!

I feel i have to ask, how old are you for your insurance company to be ripping you off?

 

[Eckascliovalver]

we all have to deal with the cost of insurance, either bit the bullet or forget about it! I was totaly ripped of when i insured the cup at 19! but thats the price of having a faster car

same as about. if your prepared to pay for it. great.

the cost and hassle of getting a 172 engine plus extras, and trying to shoe horn it into your current car, then trying to insure it is a total waste of time and money at the moment. wait a while. i paid £2800 on my insurance when i was 19 on my 172 cup.

congrats

you hav found out the first key bit of knowledge when planning a engine transplant

and it isnt going to be as simple as changing a wheel there are so many different things that have to be done and so many different skills for a engine change its unreal.

but for normal road use i would consider it a complete waste of time and money.

have you ever thought of setting off for a journey a few minutes earlier so speed wouldnt be a problem or is it just to ''impress'' your m8s down on your local asda car park
