either get a carb for the xr2 or a twin 40 carb, also if u want get a 4-2-1 manifold.

You could get twin 40's, if u wanna re-mortgage your house to pay for petrol :lol:

Get a dtf carb of an early xr2, the square headed one gives a few bhp over the lean burn round head. A gas flowed head and a kent cvh33 should go nicely together too :D

not sure if they wud to be honest on a 1.6s, cos its already a carbed car, as long as they werent overfueling theyd be fine

40s sound top

they make it fast as fook,

bla bla bla

who cares about petrol, i thought the turbo wud be economical, but its not, and do i care? :bonkers:

Yea but its also the hassle of keepin' the 40's running good and keeping them well tuned. Something like every 6 months ent it?

Saying that, im still going down the road of 40's one day when i'm in a good financial position to, £2400 on insurance at the moment and can't really afford to beef up the bhp "legally" :x
