and in reply to all engine swap ideas, i am on the teenage budget, so i am currently raiding scrap yards and seachign ebay for stuff to stick onto my car. and i am learning as i go, this is more for the experiance than the speed of the car. So i am going to do it the hard way, im going to clean my manifolds, heads and carb, tune them all to race stock spec.
and after that i might add some air filters from k and n and whatnot, more for the look than the acctual benifit.
but when i get out of uni and hopfully in a nice good earning job, ill be back on here converting the latest cozzy to rally spec
but till then its all a steep learning curv on this 1.3 HCS escort
