If it is a 1.1 I would agree with the above comment.
No point putting money into a car that you will probably upgrade once your insurance goes down.
Keep your money and put it towards your next car i.e. VTR/S

Strip it, lower it, fit better brakes better tyres and arb's. a better handling car is a faster car.

Very true. Fith gear also say good tyres will put more grip down and make better lap times around track. Also will work on road.

If you are looking to keep the car you should go for handling instead of speed.
If you want more power just put a VTR / VTS lump in if you can afford it insurance-wise
