How much money you got, how old are you and how much extra power do you want?

1.6s would fit nicely. (It's an XR2 engine, but its 5 insurance groups lower)

90bhp out of the box.

Work involved....

Change engine, and possibly gearbox. (You can stick with the 1.1 box, but not sure how long it would last)

Minimal wiring to do, and a slight reroute of some fuel lines. The 1.6s autochoke may need a little piping needed as well.

I'd sort the suspension as well as some point, the CVH weighs a tad more than the HSC, and your car will develop a slight lean!

Brummm brummm!
