Please reply here *only* if you have a working 16v NA in regular use - I'm curious to see how many remain active. I have a feeling there aren't too many around any more...

Other posts *will* get nuked.

I've just bought one!

Very tidy N reg green one for sale near me for £1400

There are 4 club members listed with a 16V, other than you Neil.

Note that not everyone has the engine version listed, so there could be more than that within the club.

Oooeer... I'm feeling all rare!

me 137,000 on original engine, just had cambelt done today mechanic said its very tidy for its age and mileage.

Make that 3, but one looking for a 16NA desperately.

I'll have to get back to you some time this Thursday after I've had my car in for a re-MOT...

You still got yours? Did you manage to get her fixed? Beautiful looking car - I even nominated it for the top 10 coops thread

<done>

'95 Blitz with a K+N Cone and 17" Wolfraces. 109K with a spanking new MOT. Very tidy and locally admired example.

Welllll... apparently alone in the world, I *like* the original wheels and I don't like spindly wheels with rubber bands on.

Tastes differ, it seems. Don't see why, but they do...

Seriously, Rob, don't you find the cone filter kills your low-end torque? I assume you've replaced the original filter box and resonator?

magicsy - what a cool foto on ur sig! beg you upload the full version!!

I agree with you there i think sme after market wheels on the coop are "ok" but you cannot beat the factory wheels they compliment the car perfectly. . . as they were intended to do

I loved the sound of my 16V with the K & N.

I'm sorry but the 16v wheels are the worst things in the world imo. The 20v wheels are nice though

Yeah i wasn't much for the 16v wheels prefer the 20vt wheels

Yep. All gubbins removed with a damn near straight air tract to sucky-thing over wheel arch ensuring cool air via slats.
PorkyPaul is so right 'bout evocative Darth Vader-on-speed rasp. Low-down torque seems unaffected howevever high-end is revier with more punch mid-range upwards.
The rubber bands on 17" may well give a slightly 'firmer' ride.
The black infill to the wheels along with black sills/bumper valences combined with a more solid body colour I think enhance the overal package.

will do mate

Here`s a wee pic of my old 16v Coop in her prime ,patiently waiting on me to stop tinkering with my 20VT and get her sorted out .



Even though I prefer the 20VT alloys I still think that there is nothing wrong with the 16v alloys,they suit the Coop perfectly .

Hi Everyone! New on here so thought I'd introduce myself. I live in West Scotland and have a 95 N Reg 16v with 9000 Miles on the clock!
