what will the costs be and what is involved? im tired of people mocking my cars speed so i have decided that a 1.6 will do the trick, as i still want 'stuck to the road' handling!
thanks

yeah, i no, it sounds like a hairdryer as standard!
so i take it it doesn't cost that much more to get it fitted aswell if ipswichcorsa got the engine, gearbox and it fitted for £650 and an engine will cost £400ish about £250?
