2.1 puts out 110bhp compared to the 1.9 90bhp.

Pretty much on par with a tuned 1.9, but the 2.1 has a bit more low end pull and it's not under as much stress.

The clocking was done before he bought it though, before the owner before him bought it actually if my info is right.

He'd already offered to swap the cars back but i turned him down as i'm still happy with this one.

edit, and it's more like 230,000 miles off ;)

That might be honest miles,
ive known people swap clocks after replacing an engine,

Maybe its engine as been replaced with alow-miler once apon atime,
