Hate the word 'tubby' as well...is it easier to type than turbo or something?
True on the T25, good turbo and IIRC fitted to later Escort cosworths for the reduced lag. Easily handle 1 bar
I'd stick with the 1.2 myself, moving to a 1.4 won't make that much difference
Rack up the no claims then go straight for the 'main course' (172/182 or 197)
I know, thread has made me chuckle
I don't really understand the logic of buying a brand new car then putting spray painted badges on it/tinkering with it.
Hey ho though....whatever floats your boat.
