I think i can get a 1.9 Rs turbo Donor Car (its fucked bodywise) for £1000 or so. I can sell the interior to make money back, and is by no way definate  but the engine was RR'd at 184bhp and 212lb/ft on mfi management (Which could be upgraded  ) but do i buy a genuine rs, or knowing my shell is minty mint, use that for the engine?Bear in mind it has uprated brakes, suspension etc which i could transfer

who cares! its your car, keep the old 3i engine if you can so if you ever want to go back to na you can plus imo if you leave the exterior alone then apart from the turbo noise it'll look like every other 3i

Gutted  Although if you do turbo it... keep the original stuff, and you can always change it back to standard to sell then turbo gear can be kept for another car or sold for money money too

yeah i can see what you mean Just got a few niggles to sort on the Xr3i and it will be spanking and i won't have to spend any money on it minus a service, which is a rare thing for me as i always spend money on cars and now i have one where i don't have to, its to slow for me
