Got a tough decision to make soon, just after people's general opinions really. I've always been a turbo person, currently driving a 270bhp Nissan 200SX.

I'm going to look at Beckham's (on this forum) RS1600i. Looks very nice, will know more under closer inspection. That's up for £750.

I'm also going to look at a Escort RST Series 1 that is up for £1500. This had a respray a few years ago with all rust taken care of. Its also had a recent engine rebuild. It's owned by a mechanic and is well looked after I'd say. It's not a custom version though.

I might get a bit of verbal abuse for this comment, but I personally hate the interiors on both, so would probably plumb for RST S2 Recaro's and maybe a dash conversion too! Plus if the S1 wasn't a custom, I'd convert it all to electric. (Is that hard to do?)

Which one do you think would be the better buy and why?
