Happy Birthday H54 YGW!

You've been reading too much Motobodge.... 130bhp+ is possible from the A series and more, everything has been done to it, read a 1380cc spec, 286 cam, high lift rockers, seriously modded head etc. But you'll waste alot of money, its a small engine in a big car and although the potential for a lot of fun is there, it still won't have the pulling power of a bigger engine. The 1600 S Series can produce 150bhp too, but again look at getting close to 2k for that.

By the sound of it in this thread, a car with 60-odd thousand on it is very low. If i can look forward to another 60,000 miles of trouble free motoring, thats fantastic!


My car is about 800 miles from its 70,000 mile anniversary.

My Maestro 1600 has done 142,000 miles since Sept 1988, although I did change the engine for a new one at 102,000.
