I think you can drop "mid-range" from that sentence, it would just pull, heh! :)

Hmmmmmm bit heavy. Wouldn't want it to end up like the Clio V6 - all 1,300 kg of it!

Well it was around that - I haven't actually plucked up the courage to dig up the receipts and figure out exactly what it was though!

And the rest, the kerb weight of the new 255bhp Clio V6 is 1400 kilo. That makes it heavier than my 620 ffs :)

you must be a fool to pay main dealer prices for the same parts, copy standards are quite often better than the main dealer ones.

is that continuous?

tis a much heavier donk though, I wasnt keen on the old one, but the new tweaked clio seems rather nice.

Not in my experience, and especially not with exhausts. Going back, when my Fiesta's mid pipe went, I bought a copy part. The fit was _appalling_, so much so that it broke the back box mounts. Bought a Ford exhaust, had no problems with it.

Ditto with my Cinquecento - copy part fitment was dreadful, and it resonated at approximately 2,500 rpm. Switched back to a Fiat system, no problems.

I don't think so, but Charlie reckons it is!

Ew! Ew ew ew ew ew! I would rather eat a mouldy cockroach sandwich than even contemplate putting a blown CVH donk into Kermit! :-/

Cutting and shutting? Err, no, not with the CVH donk. With the Puma donk, you do need a select few modifications.

You're making two *big* assumptions:

1) the blown CVH would retain its boost and power, unusual because even standard ones don't, and; 2) that I'm used to the Ka's output and haven't driven anything more powerful.

But, no no no no no no to a turbocharged CVH, or for that matter, _any_ CVH in there! Just don't go there!

Well worth the trip south for you, and well worth spending the money too!

Good luck with whatever zorst you get!

Alex

"Blown" is the normal condition of a CVH is it not? Indeed all CVH engines in this state have constant boost and power output - zero and zero! heh heh :-)

Avoid at all costs.

That's _exactly_ what Ford did, though ;-)

Heh!

We should meet up at some point, for a demonstration of the power of the mighty Endura-E! :)

Heh!

Surprisingly able!

Okay, so it's based on the Endura-E, but it's output is more like the 1.25 Zetec-SE. It drives well - like a hybrid between the two. You get most of the zingy revvy nature of the Zetec-SE combined with most of the gutsy low down thump of the Endura-E.

Good enough to swap one for Kermit? Not quite. A Ka TDCi, however, would be another matter . . .

Why would anyone want to tho, it's a terrible gutless donkey of an engine.

Actually, it's not even that bloody good.

/puttup!/

RST, in a Ka, never never never I'd rather drive a Corsa 1.0!

Woohoo! Nice looking site . . .

I'm off down there on the 29th of September with a mate, Hes getting a cat system to replace his HKS exhaust. Only trouble is he has to leave it for a week as they havent built one before on a '98 Honda Civic VTi Fortunately, If I manage to save the asking price they have the designs for my Prelude already so I can get one made in a day :D
