Engine conversion what do i do?

A box of Swan vesta's finest should do it.

that sounds intresting,

I think it must be a daewoo engine though? but I'm not sure as ive never looking into its heritage.

Its 798cc though

I think they're based on the Suzuki Alto/Fronte, so it's worth looking for what people have done to them.

A bike engine seems like a good idea though!

it curse word water everywhere, from what seemed to be from the head as it was above the line of the head/block mating level.

Anyway took the head off and it turned out to be some rubber gasket/seal they're all rubber! which had cooked itself and melted on the plastic inlet.

Anyway changed that and the head gasket, ran it for abit and then one morning suddenly dead

been playing with it the past few days not having a clue about electric motors/engines anyway ive got it running but loads of white smoke.

I thought it cant be he head gasket, could be a cracked head i thougth though.

Its getting alot of pressure in the header tank, engine wants to stop with the cap on and pours and i mean POURS out slightly off pure white smoke.... however it runs better without the cap but theres still pleanty of smoke from the exhaust.

I don't know if i fancy changing the engine for a standard one, as I'm sick of it, if i put another engine in it then it will get sold.

But if something abit fun could be put in id be more than up for a laugh for abit.

yep thats one the list

1) sell it for spares on ebay
2) put another engine in.. then probably sell it
3) do sommat silly with it

I already have enough old cars lol, gotta restore my '65 sprite and a '63 mini cooper, used to run my capri everyday but thats for sale in the... for sale section funny enough. I'm fancying a mk3 supra for everyday though, don't know if that is classed as retro.

i don't think much of dawoo matiz either

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that

1. I like Matizesszzeizzz and think they have a lot of potential - good styling house roots and a design that looks like it's got a bit of effort behind it

2. They qualify for our ethos here in the same way that VIP style Altos do

3. They need work to make them good.

Based on the above, I think some sort of cooking engine, possibly bike derived, is a great idea.

However, knowing it's your daily makes me think it might be better to just bosh a scrapyard engine in it or bin it off. Secondhand ones go for relatively small amounts now anyway.

dawoo matiz are terrible they handle like a boats on the plus side they roll well(that one was a cheverlote). if you can make it retro i take my hat off to your badself. thats what this forum is all about shock me

i used to auto grass a bloke had two blackbird(honda) piggy backing each other in the back of a daewoo in his class 10 the thing could pull wheelies

i had to be careful what shoes i wore in case they upset the delicate balance. its about as stable as a robin reliant round corners. first mod i would fit would the widest tires money could buy....... then a rollcage
