well lads and ladies.
I'll be collecting a 340 1.4 later on in the week...what I want to know is:
does the engine have a small bit of "poke" at all?
does it take kindly to a bit of abuse, ie a bit of sideays?
what engine will fit straight in, mounts-wise.....?

Pray for snow or at least rain.

You know Sven, i think The Oracle at Dephi is thinking of retiring.
Ever though of getting into the 'all seeing, all knowing' game.
I think youd be almost perfect.
Just need to brush up on the seeing and the knowing bit.
Pray for rain'll come in handy though.

Rain is quite enough to get a 1.4 sideways, with 155 width tyres. Forget it in the dry though, and remember not to endanger users of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's highways.

Well said that man.
Private land is the safest.
Good training a must.

Dont wreck yourself.
Or endanger others.

points mean NOT PRIZES!

- 65/70 BHP. Get some bad tires, inflate them to 3 BAR, and they drift like hell in the rain. Dry is still a problem though.

- Those B14's are like briks. Can handle a lot. But don't overrev it. And if it blows: A new engine will set you back 50 quid and about 5 hours. Really simple!

- Mountwise, the C1J of a Renault 5 GTT fits in a 1.4...But thats about the hardest rebuild. Just get a F7p from a clio. There are loads around, and has been done loads of times...You need some parts of a 340 1.7

now thats the sort of info I'm looking for...but not as mush codes, as I'm not too up on the frenchies LOL


@everyone else: I wont endanger the queens highways, and rain will be plentiful because...I'm in IRELAND....rain, and no queen's roads in sight.

Ah I see. That's ok then.

anyone else that can tell me what engines exactly, and how much effort it is/isn't to fit them....?

have a look round man.

I'd never considered a career change up until now.
I'll mull it over and get back to you shortly-I'm currently deep in thought.

Have you considered a career in motivational speaking-you're a natural and it's all the rage apparently

Motor whatinal who-now?
Is that when americans with white teeth stand on a stage and do slogans at americans with less white teeth?

Jesus Tat-humping Christ that would be a mint job.
I might have a go. How does this sound?

Own your outcome.
Move forward together utilising bluesky thinking.
Unbound your limitations and fulfill your targetted-destiny.
