[Lee]

What reg is it?

 

[Lee_H]

just explain wot its like under the bonnet? or take a pic

 

[corsaJ]

its a P reg mate

 

[Lee]

It will probably be a 1.2 8v then. It will have a skinny looking head on it. The 16v are a bit wider than the 8v.

 

[jim610]

i think it depends which modle it is ie gls.corect me if im wrong not totaly sure.

 

[corsaJ]

**** a 1litre can beat me then lol, **** slow mine is then

 

[jim610]

jus looked at the proformance stats an it says that the 0-60 is the same on the1.2 8v as the 1.4 8v hows that?

 

[Lee]

Did they Make 1.2gls? MIne was a p-reg ls and that was an 8v. And the 1.2 sxi 16v didn't come in until after the 97 facelift.

 

[dearing5]

is a 1.4 16v quicker then a 1.2 16v? an how much you think?

They're both 8v. I'm reckoning the 1.4 will be better after the 0-60.

My mam had a 1.2sxi 16 and when I first drove it I didn't believe it was a 1.2. They are really nippy. But I'd say the 1.4 would be quicker.

 

[dearing5]
