   pug 306 gti-6 engine has been done, but imo not worth all the hassle for 167bhp@fly. transplant a vts engine and 'charge it for a quick car whilst keeping the saxo's good handling.

    no i mean if your going to have an engine in the back then dont waste it with just a two litre go for something that warrants that much work.

    'drop it in'?!? it's more or less the same engine as the pug 306 anyway, and if it was that simple everone would be doing it.

    you got a link for that?
    even if you could get it in, it would handle like a bag of mouldy shite due to weight of the engine, as anyone who's ever driven a C20LET-converted nova/corsa will tell you

    agree with the handling had a c20let out once was some scary shit putting it round corners when i was used to saxo go kart handling
    
    there are lads round here who have got 2ltr novas that handle but i still prefer the way my saxo goes round corners
