   Hy everyone. Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in the suspension and brakes between 106 gti and 106 sport ?
   Also i need information about the 1.4 8v engine - Is it the same engine as 1.6 8v
   (head, intake, exhaust) and what do i need to convert it to 1.6 8v. Thanks!

   Quicksilver had solid discs and drums on the rear, gti has vented discs and discs on rear. Engines have different blocks too. Easier to get vtr/s2 rallye engine to drop in
