Definitely did a 5dr 1.6 version. Probably did a 1.4 5dr too. Getting thin on the ground now though.

Two engines were available in the Si. A 1.4 update of the CVH 8v engine similar to the one used in the XR2i 8v, and one of the brand new Zetec engines recently unleashed into the Ford cars. The Zetec uses a double overhead cam design, with 16valves and electronic fuel injection. The car pulls very well when being driving in urban areas and performs equally as pleasing on the open road with plenty of torque on tap – 134Nm at 3000rpm quicker one of the two to have, pushing 90bhp at 5500rpm – to pull the car through the gears rather than having to rev the car to make if shift. The 1.4 8v is by no means shabby! It will out perform many of its rivals and develops 75bhp at 5500rpm and 109Nm of torque at 2750rpm.
Performance of the two cars was very good considering both cars were extremely cheep to insure, which was the purpose of the cars in the first place, with the 1.6 Zetec reaching the 60mph mark in 10.4seconds and the 1.4 pulling itself to the magic mark in 12seconds flat. The 1600 would continue on to 110mph, although some may argue it will go faster, but would have to be proved on a large piece of ground away from traffic, of course. We don’t want to get caught red handed do we? The 1400 would crack the ton and inch its way over to 104mph.

Yes they did, one of the Saturday guys had one as his second car. 1.4 was a revised CVH and they also did the 1.6 Zetec, both of which were pretty lame compared to the not that impressive XR2is (8v and 16v)
