yerp the 1.6 will fit matey

i do know that if you fit the 1.6 cam inlet manifold and throttle body it makes it a simliar to the 1.4? so maybe fit the 1.8 to yours?? to get a good boost??!! :D

Make sure when you start taking parts that fit other cars they fit yours first its best to stick with 8 valve items if your car is an 8 valve.

ahh thanks fella !!! i planned to stick with 8 valve items anyway. even so i would probably fit either the 1.8 or 1.6 litre inlet ...so this would simply bolt in place of the old 1 ?!!! :? would i have to change any wiring ?

look for a car with the same engine as yours but a bigger size. around the same age. then its a straight swap, maybe filling your ports to match the gasket would help aswell if your into taking your head off :D
