That was the thing i did
Not so much ploughing money into it by the skip full but trying to do something to fit the pocket i had at the time[:|].
I always wanted just that little bit more power out of it to compansate for how it loked, i looked at chips.turbos and even superchargers but came to the conclusion an engine swap was in order.
i first looked for the LCR 225 1.8T ENGINE CODE (BAM) but found this to be like rocking horse poo and then it seemed to die at that, untill i came across this V6 totally wasted at a local del-boy style car dealer asked how much he wanted for the car and to my suprise 500 quid[:O]
Well as you can imagine it was not there long LOL.
OK my insurance was not best pleased and dumped me[:O] NOT COOL so i went to the AA and got a quote that was 20 quid less than the 1.6 so that was a bonus for me.
and going from 105 BHP to 204BHP is WELL[

If you guys have a look at how old your car is and how much you have spent on it and what the value is(NOT YOUR VALUE) but the market value and see what a 1.8T will set you back and then to start all over again to have the car PROBABLY AN OLDER CAR the way you want it.
It would be cheeper to TRANSPLANT if the engine package was at the right price.
I am all for it as my car aint no import LOL[
