your caps lock is on ,

i take it your not going to inform the DVLA or insurance of your plans ( silly boy) either do it properly and inform the relevant people or buy the car with the engine already installed

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Sounds nuts, why not just chop the car in for one with a bigger engine?

 

[Guinness]

personally wouldnt bother, but ok Ill have ya 1.4 engine if its going spare lol. For free of course as Im that sexy

engine transplans normally need brake and suspension transplants too
change the car for a more powerfull one, maybe a diesel and then you can play remaps too

 

[garyandclaire]

The Thing Is I Cant Change The Car As I Have To Keep It For 2years So I Need To Keep The Car !!!!! AND HAVE MORE POWER

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Why can't you chop it in?

 

[garyandclaire]

Because Its On Finance With The Old Company I Used To Work 4 !!! So Im In A Right Mess !!

Then you can't do stuff like engine swaps on a lease car!

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Is there not a hand back clause on the finance contract?

 

[garyandclaire]

it not a lease car !! its called hp witch means the car is own by you and you pay the company back its a loan from a plc !!!! i know this as i used to work at thje company !!!!!!

 

[stoneyfordNI]

with HP you only own the car when you make the final payment , you are just the registered keeper on the V5 , hence when you dont pay , they take it back

Yes you could convert it if you really want.

But the cost, time and your lease obligations FAR outway having the point.

With the money it'd cost why not buy cheap, fast track/weekend toy?

 

[garyandclaire]

its not the bloody point the piont is i want a 1.8 T in my car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[m0rk]

buy it back with a bank loan, so it's nothing to do with anyone but you, then get busy collecting all the bits you need

 

[garyandclaire]

thanks tomm i just need to know if its possible and what ill need to cahange as i have friends in the trade thanks gary

 

[stoneyfordNI]

why didnt you get an FR/cupra then ,

 

[garyandclaire]

I cant afford the cupra! this is the cheaper option

 

[stoneyfordNI]

i doubt it is tbh . once you weigh up a new engine , box and loom + ecu , brakes and suspension , then bolt it all together ( take it you cant do this yourself) , you could of been rid of your existing car and had the proper version on your drive ,

I cant afford the cupra! this is the cheaper option

I'd guess you're looking at about 3k before labour charges
