I know you said you didnt want to change engines, but your best value for money would be putting in a late model 1500 or 1600, and then doing the
other mods if you want more.
I think the new 1600 vw brazilian engines were quite reasonably priced? might be worth looking into.

The car has a newish recon engine when i brought it, so i really don't want to spend and get another!!!
Unless anyone wants to swop a 1200 for a 1600!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm guessing not!
Thanks guys
