1.4 on the log book with an rs engine? that sounds illegal to me.
a bmw 316 will be as slow as a long weekend in the cells.

you're barking up the wrong tree.
nobody here will say "yeah do the 1.4 escort with a rs engine in"..

i had a 1.8 16v xr2i when i was 18. i got anhialated on insurance, but i wanted it and i wanted to do it legally.

I'd be very careful what I write on internet forums... you never know who's reading them.
