   Just wondering what is the difference between the 1.4 xsi engine and the engine in my furio??
   
   I have found a 93 xsi that i might be able to get my hands on for the equivalent of £250-£275(€400). Would it be worth my while buying it, rebuilding the engine and wiring it into mine, or just put new cams or somethin in my engine and use the xsi as a track day car for havin a laff??
   
   by the way the car is in decent nick, has tax and NCT(MOT) for another month or so.
   
   cheers

   just use the xsi as a track car, its lighter than a furio

   I'd track the xsi, to much hassle the other way around. I would also just use the money for camming the 1.6 to buy and insure a vts tbh.
