O/T It's been a while

[AnarchyStorm]

Hello again. I became a sort of regular about two months ago but due to leaving my job I have been too occupied to concentrate on PH's - I AM SO SORRY!!!

Good news now though. I have a new job and my first Assistant managers job.... in fact my first job in charge of others!!

I will show more dedication to the forum now and would like to apologise for my absence.

By the way - the Ecotek valave I put on - it definately helps petrol economy but not much else. Just in case people thought of getting one.

Welcome back! You have a lot of reading to do to catch up!

Thanks for the welcoming back guys and girls. Yeah good to be back reading peoples stories and indepth advice.

Good to hear that most of you are well and better luck for the future for those of you not fearing so well.

Anyway, thanks again, time for some forum reading.

Oh and by the way does anyone know the est. 0-60 of a 1.6 16v Vauxhall Tigra?

The Tigra isnt mine but when I raced a VTS in my Dad's the other month, I won hands down..... makes no sense to me except that the bloke either was a) a bad driver or b) badged it up from a VTR!!

Its all that ICE in the boot which slows em down!

[AnarchyStorm]

Brrrrrr! ICE doesnt make that much of a difference. I killed the poor thing and the VTS too

So can anyone actually tell me the ansswer. I know its a rare one as most sensible people wouldnt buy one but a friend of mine is thinking of putting one in his Nova as its a lot lighter than the 2.0 lumps.

But, but, but.... Its a Nova...

Surely for the cost of buying and fitting a 1.6 Tigra engine (not the best of 1.6 lumps btw), he could actually buy something decent?

Especially if he sold the nova...

Bear in mind that an engine swap will crucify him come insurance time (Im assuming he is early 20's).

Decent MR2's can be had for 4k, 2k would buy a totally mint 1.9 GTi, Porsche 924 and 944s arent all that pricey... The list is pretty much endless.
