    As I read peoples replies , I keep changing my mind.... Fave mod was definitely converting my rallycar from a cast iron 8v single cam on a plenham , to an all alloy 16v DOHC on 'bike T/Bs that I made up the mani for myself.

    Unfortunately for the VW 16v lads, that is a 1.4 that whips your larger engines. (not all, but a lot of them) :lol:

    Fav mod on other peoples cars is either 1.6 Driver to ABF conversion I did for a fellow Mk2 fan as it was a neater finished product (helps when you have a whole donor car to select bits from),
    or the Toyotec Toyota ITBs.

    Vid title does say first fire up, still needs mapping. :thumbup:
    Dyno sheet looked pretty good for a home-brew 1.4 though. ;)
    Plus the KA is about the weight of a discarded fag packet, so that's always a bonus. :lol:
