[Cat7]

OK new to this forum, but I have got the itch back to build something again after recently having sold my Caterham.

Looking for a suitable donor car, and was wondering what the consensus is between the 1.6 and 1.8 engines. There seems to be so e really good bargains for later 1.6 cars (imports are my main focus). Is one engine more suitable for tuning than the other? My idea is to build a 250 and then upgrade steadily. I am a firm believer in getting the car sorted in terms of geometry, and gaining improvements through handling rather than raw power, but a few more horses is always a nice consideration to achieve.

There are certainly some stunning results with the 250 kit, and it has really grabbed my attention, and some good info on here so well done to all that contribute.

Neville.
