neo Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 as you probably have guessed im very interested in my friends westy but got a feeling that its going to be too slow "i could be wrong" its cvh powered now but if i was to upgrade it at a later date to bike power is it going to be more trouble than its worth or should i stay wiyh say zetec or vauxhall 2.0 16v motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I've daid it before somewhere else. Buy a car with the engine you want. Swapping engines, particularly from car to bike, will be expensive, and will throw your budget out the window. A well driven CVH will be quicker than you might think though, but not necessarilly where you might think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted May 9, 2002 Author Share Posted May 9, 2002 the trouble is that what ever you get theres always a chance for more power,the quest for more has no end,well untill i run out of loot anyway its just the car in question suits the bill for now and i was looking to see what it could hold for the future.

ian crocker Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 It is highly unlikely that a CVH powerd car will be quicker than a well modified Impreza. On the sprints and hills something like a P1 or a 300HP modified Scooby will beat the majority of the kit cars anyway. The kits that are faster will generally have 200HP+ and you are never going to get that from a CVH. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted May 9, 2002 Author Share Posted May 9, 2002 I agree but i feel its a fair starting point and as the funds allow i will drop in a well modded vauxhall 2.0 xe 16v later on in the winter may be.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
