What happened to the 1.8 Rsi engine? How come you put the valver in instead? |

simple reasons behind it.
The clio was sold and my mum didn't want to insure and run my chammy cos if she dented it I would dent her head.
So she needed her red car back asap.
BB has the RSI gear and still has to get a few things. So for ease and the fact the cars needed I just chucked the 16V lump in, much easier.,
When BB gets the rest of the rsi gear and gets it to me I will have a think of what to do, either keep the 16V in there (which I think may happen) or swap to the rsi.
I have a temptation to just sell the rsi lump, get a 2 litre and wait for bb to post the rsi gear up then thats it 2 litres straight away, it will get ported etc of course. |

well I thought you were coming up mate, you get the fuel pipes and TB air inlet pipe?
neal got his way as he never understood the appeal of the rsi engine and told me just to 16V it |

you told me to fit the 16V lump and questioned the rsi idea!
so what do you all think of the project then? |
