camshafts...

[BarnsleyNath]

Hi guys, I know there are numerous posts on this subject but none answer my specific question. A local scrapyard had a 1.3 Micra with the distributor type engine, will the camshafts fit in my coilpack 1.0 engine? and will they make a noticeable difference to my car? and also would anyone know if these ones are direct fit into my car?

Cheers in advance

Cheers frank, what difference will it actually make? And would 20 quid be an acceptable price or is he trying to rip off?

1.3 cams are like rocking horse doo doo so 20 quid is a steal. Get 'em quick before someone else does

I went earlier for a few little cosmetic bits and bobs and spied it sat at the back on the roof of another car, me and the guy that ran the scrappers just weren't sure if the engines were the same hope he's still got am now haha

I think that's done it? Plan for now is to de-bump strip her, colour code door handles and pit them cams in hopefully not got much to spend so for now just aiming for the clean and simple look any advice is really appreciated though

Looks sweet Nathan, the white alloys look good on a dark car
