WELL USEFUL T HAT COMMENT...

personally i would buy a rear ended 1.4 16v or if you can afford a 1.6 16v sport you wont notice the 1.4 as much as you think. if your going to spend the time and money get the 1.6

baby XE engine, plus you have all the brakes and everything needed for the conversion if you get a damaged one

i agree. althought if you have to do the 1.4 then try an get one with everything on it, or go to a scrappy for some shafts ?

 

[SteveoDMC]

so all i need is the engine and the drive shafts ? oh and ecu remap?

 

[dearing5]

try an get the 1.4 ecu as i dont think the 1.2 will be any joy.

There is a 1.4 16v being sold for breaking or if you buy it now you get the whole car

so sport engine will go straight in i dont have to change fuel lines or anything ?

Yep it will drop straight in. Old fuel lines can be used.

You will need,

Engine + gearbox .. make sure they aint being seperated.
Engine mounts
Drive shafts off the engine thats going in.
Engine loom
ECU
Transponder + ignition colume.
If like my 1.6 you have power stearing ... the power stearing rack.
if the enigne has the ABS system, the ABS breaks and calipers + sensors.
Manifold
Downpipe
Zaust
Dials / Clocks if you have them with the engine
Spare hoses
Clips and jubile clips
Greese
Bigger battery as the 1.2 wont cope
Haynes manual would be good
Bolts + nuts of various sizes incase there is any damaged ones on the engine.
Engine hoist
Plenty of time and cups of tea :thumbs_up:

Might be a few bits iv missed but im currently doing the same, my 1.2 8v dies on me and i got a 1.6 16v lump from NOVAROB he is on ebay and i can give you his email, he has engines in and out all the time and i would recomend him.
