will u2u both lee and warren. I know lee's a busy man as he's been tried and tested with many XE and LET conversions
but warren has recently come onto the scene with the small blocks and his home-build ramp

1.4 16v? decent engine and very nippy, especially from a 12v.
Still in the lower tax brand and group 5/6 insurance
I'd rate them

isnt it the same as the 1.6 but just a diff block (would it be higher insurance tho, my plan was to let it later but obvi im too young to insure one and its prob a big step from a 1.0 - plus everyone is doing it!

the head is slightly different but you wouldnt really notice it on the road.
get some insurance quotes and see what your happy with as the 1.6 is 4 groups higher IIRC
