I dont understand this. Its about the 5th time ive read it from different people.
If you have 3k sitting around for a conversion, and an extra grand for the insurance...so not much change from 4k sitting around, the last thing on my mind would be the bloomin tax bracket!?
Thats like saying dont buy that 200grand house, it needs a new front door?
:wtf:
hehe good point :lol:
turbo'ing the K aint really a good idea tbh, they aint the strongest of engines unless you get a 1.8T froma 75 and maybe up the boost a little but the most your going to be looking at is 180bhp.
as mentioned above i personally think that the VVC is the best K series engine (not biassed at all

) because it has the reliability, plus i often get 45+mpg on long jurneys aswell as arrounf 30mpg arround the doors, and there aint no tubo lag either

altho you do tend to have to keep them above 4k :wtf:.
but for all out power in a streight line the T series is the boy for the job, there great engines but they are heavy and do mess up the handling a bit but that can be easilly sorted with some decent shockers.
and just another point to add, yours is a 1.4???, your DEFINATLY going to need bigger brakes, the 282mm setup from a zs180 should surfice but keep in mind that the disc's are nearly £100 a set.
just a few things to keep in mind
