If you fit a 1275 engine from the metro you can see 63 bhp engine code 12HE

12g940 head, pocket the block, HIF38 from a metro and cooper freeflow exhaust. saw me pulling away from all the local 1275's. could have done with a cam swap though for a wee bit more go.

but thats al irelivant, i didnt do any of the above until i could afford the insurance. every year my premium came down i treated myself to a power upgrade. Im a shining example of why young drivers pay high premiums, we deserve it.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

As above I have a 1040 with a 12g940 head and a 276 cam. Last rollered at 48@wheels, but now it has an MG metro head and has done a 17 sec quarter. I guess 55-60 bhp @ wheels.

37-40 bhp is about right.

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

how old are you? if you think insurance is bad now wait till you have a crash and you cant claim cos of your untold mods, i'd just use a 1275, insurance wont be bad on that.

He's 17... *oh well*

I can't comment on too many things - I ran a 1275 when i was 18 and had it down as a 998 on the insurance. Very naughty I know. *frown*

Now - if you want to do something, then get a quote on a box-stock 1275 from a metro HLE or somet - against a quote of a lightly modded 998 - By that I mean a stg1 kit.

You can decide if you want to do other things like fit a MPi camshaft (or a kent 266 - almost the same thing - but MPi cam sounds much less 'sporty') or a modified head - or whatever.
But do some research into the insurance prices first...

Dont risk not telling the insurance company about any mods, its not worth it. Id go with TD's recomendations and get some quotes, i reckon the standard 1275 will be cheaper to insure than a modified 998 to achieve the same power.
