basically im in debt and cud do with abit more money each month. at the moment im payin debts off 4 parts iv replaced and repaird, the loan i tuk out 2 get the williams and the insurence.....

insurence is 2600 cuz im only 19 :cry: if i were 2 get a valver it would be around 1600- 1800 plus id save abit of cash from selling the willy and buyin a valver.....

my question is.....is it worth doing, would i really be saving much money???

opinions plz people! :)

It will come down mate....but a 2.0ltr valver is unrecognisable from a 1.8 one if the insurance were to look at it :wink:

not if i looked at it.

i would test the limiter look at the manifold and then measure the piston bores. lol

yeah right..

whack on a valver manifold and increase limiter and you'll be rite

Thats just made me very hopefull for next year lol. 2 grand at the minute, but i'll be in the same circumstances as you bar the crash (touch wood) come next feburary.

See ya
