If I had the money to I would.
Or build a engine with a cam, head flow, CR carbs etc.
Apart from I only have my silly restricted licence here in the uk :( so I'm limited to 46.6hp for a year and a half..
i suppose the police can't tell ;)

However, if you have an accident, your insurance will be void and that's a far more serious offense than breaking an engine power restriction. £300 + 6 points (and max of £5k if it goes to court) vs £100 + 3 points.
Edit: just checked with the boss. Its up to £5k and 8 points and a discretionary ban if it goes to court.

Yes, I never plan to break any laws and will always inform my insurers of any change I make.
Unlike some of my peers in saxo's and corsa's I have always declared upgrades I have made to my vehicles.
No wonder my first year car insurance was £3400 on a 2011 1.2 fiat punto :'(
I'll be stripping the engine down after I get the compression tests done.
New seals, gaskets, head clean and lick of paint and its going back in stock.
Might upgrade to electronic ignition if I collect some penny's from inside of the sofa :o
Waiting on a Motogadget M-Unit, M-Button and wiring kit at the moment.
I have already constructed a wiring diagram ready.

Also mocked up a idiot light block with LED's.
Used a pillar drill and it came out all wonky. Waiting for the milling machine to be hooked up so it can be done properly.

And cut the back end of the frame off ready for the hoop.:o

JustcallmeMrT:
Looks like we're doing similar builds! I've gathered the bits for a dual disc conversion myself and I'm also using the m-unit and m-button for my wiring - hoping it'll make it easier to wire as I'm going with full LED lighting in order to keep the power draw lower, and I think the m-unit facilitates this without the need for additional resistors for the indicators. My coils were shot so I'm going to use the dynacoils 3ohm with a Hondaman setup and resistor pack on the points. Hopefully I shouldn't have any charging issues since I've mediated the extra draw from the coils with the LED setup... have to try and see!
Will be watching to see how yours all comes together, best of luck!
