Better of buying a new car, as fuel pumps etc will have to be changed

Just need engine, wiring, ECU and fuel pump
Everthing else is the same
Best to save up around or at least 2k for TB

8v rad is ok to use... i did... mr mitchel told me its alright
the conversion is piss easy to do... but buy a 1.2 as your base model as the 12volt could be harder...
i hear that c16xe engines are getting scarce over there though.....
