    Nice looking hatch. I had a Citroen once, never let me down. Also passed NCT first time after being parked up for 2 years. 'twas a great car despite everything people say about French cars. ;)

    All I ever hear is great things about old French cars, I think at some stage if I need a heap (After my passat gives up) I may just sway to a 406 or the like :)

  • Registered Users Posts: 22 Phars

    Anyone know how much a engine conversion would cost roughly?

    Anyone know how much a engine conversion would cost roughly?

    €250 for an engine, €150 for the gear box and €400-€500 for labour. Roughly for a MIVEC Colt.

    Obviously cheaper (and more interesting) if you do it yourself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,480 ✭✭✭YbFocus

    The price of the engine and gearbox. Donor hubs, shafts and brakes.
    A good evening and night.

    I have no idea of pricing on them mivecs but anything we've done before had cost €400-500

    Edit: we concur Cian :)

    Wouldn't even know where to start to do it myself.

    I finally sold my Civic SiR yesterday and bought this Ignis Sport in Killarney last night:cool: 1500 quid well spent huge grin factor and loads of relative torques:D

    Needs a waxing and polish on outside and side decals removed and some original white Suzuki Enkies for it instead of the minging MOMOs on her now;)

    I am hoping to find a MIVEC colt/mirage with body damage, and replace whatever from my existing Colt.

    More fun, if it needs as much as possible replaced, but as long as the rear panels, engine and gearbox are fine. :P

    Are you anywhere near me? I'll love to have a gawk at some stage if you are. :D

    Well wear! Think I posted this on bangeromics last month. Those yokes are a hoot

    Easier to do than a lot of engine work, as your removing engine and loom and all.
    All back in them :)
