Don't bother with the 1600 Zetec though mate it's a steaming turd of an engine.
This is the GTi my brother has been building for his missus. Although he drives it now and she drives his M3.... Hmmm
I met your bro and his misses 4-5 years ago(at a guess) when i had my GTi and i had a drive of hers as it had been chipped so wanted to see what difference it made.
Im guessing the ST engine went in because the Zetec died? my head gasket went a week AFTER selling it(3 years ago) glad i sold it when i did
To be fair it was a good reliable motor for the 2 years i was running it
And on topic, i thought they only did the GTi in a 1.8 and then the Si was 1.6 and 1.8, that was my understanding but to be honest who cares, theres hardly any difference driving the two(standard anyhow)
