It's always a worry making mods on cars like that but I reckon you're safe with subtle and possibly reversible ones.becca wrote:I didn't realise they did an 86 injection model! Mine's an 86 EX manual, with 44k on the clockwas bought by a woman from new, then she emigrated to Aus and kept it here to drive when she was back, then went to some lad, who sold it to his mate, who I then bought it from! Still has the plastic sticker protecting the 'coin' tray lettering and everything. Going to feel bad modifying it in a way...
Makes me realise how poo my 1993 Polo is... No power steering [speed variable or not!], no electric windows, no electric sunroof, no headlight washers or aircon, no ALB, I was lucky to get the injection engine tbh! And none of those things listed were even options on it. Honda were so ahead of the rest.
Although, I hate the ALB. It feels like a kid learning to drive...
Mine is going to be very mildly tweaked and that's it ... nothing drastic.
I had a breadvan Polo a few years ago. A 1988 Mk2 1.3 5-speed. Scruffy as hell, bought for £100 from eBay. I ran it for two years, got nearly 50mpg and only spent £47 maintaining it then sold it on for £250. No luxuries at all but it really did the job for me.
I sold it to buy my first Honda ... there was no turning back after that.
That's the one! Bought it without the wheels and with original wheels and trims - including the ORIGINAL tyres from new [obviously nor usable but got it home haha]
I hate you for getting 50mpg, I get like 25 out of mine on a good day! They are super cheap to maintain / service though! My head gasket went - cost me £20 hahaha!
