my 8v always felt quicker than my current 16v because it just went from low down in the revs and i loved its lazy engine, the 16v you have to drop a gear rev its tits off to get going... but dont get me wrong i love all of that lol ... never had a 1.4 ibiza yay
 
wish i could change the engine but as im building it in a tarmac rally car i need to keep the engine as standard due to class regulations
would consider it in the future
