What kind of job will this be?

Will it sit on existing engine mounts or need new ones?

Any info on this will be very much appreciated thanks!

That seems like a pointless conversion to be honest with you. I think it will need different engine mounts aswell

thats the only reason i'm wanting to stick with the 1.2 for the moment!

By the sounds of it tho be better of sticking with the 8v and run it for aslong as possible till i can insure something a bit bigger!

Save your money on engines and engine mods.

Spend it on making the car stop and handle better.

Car drives well can be chucked into corners on the springs fitted at moment!

Should be uprating to spax 60mm springs and dampers soon and also on the look out for some big brakes!

Is a rear disc conversion easy to do or not?
