The chepest and most insurance friendly thing to do is sell it and buy a si, xr or rs.

mate, if you're serious about do this I might be able to help. My mechanic will shortly be doing a conversion on a mark3 XR2i and the engine will be available. So if you wanted to go to xr2i power we can sort something out. Say something like £400-£500 FITTED! Drive in drive out kind of thing. Should only take a day.

E-mail if you're seriously interested in doing this and I'll put a hold on the engine.

1.3 HCS CFi or 1.4 CVH CFi will go straight in with no messing about, a 1.6 EFi will need to change the fuel system and ECU

The Gully....

what kind of condition is that engine in? And that include the gearbox? If its in good working order i could also be very intrested in that as my gearbox is shagged and ma engine drinks oil and is on the way out, its an xr2i already.

The Gully? I've seen people murdered for less!

The engine that I am getting to do the next conversion is in very good condition and has 73K miles on it. Includes gear box and kitting like i said mate.

any HCS will go straight in, do not go for a cfi cus they aint really injection, and they aint carb either, the CVH will not go straight in, a bit of wiggling of stuff and it will. but it aint really worth the bother, u mite as well just sell it and buy a car with a bigger engine
