Heres an interesting thought...I was talking to Stuart at northshore rallysport and got got on the subject of tuning. Apparently a Mi16 bottom end will go into the 1.8 16v motor and give it 2 ltr capacity, and it should go like errr, buggery! the ECU would have to re-mapped and have an exhaust system/ported and flowed heads done and it would cost serious $$$ but the 1.8 is an alloy block (lighter) compared to the GTi6 (iron block), so overall weight would b lower... a nice idea i thought if you had the cash and were hoping to do some racing..or just for the hell of it!
