Its all acording what money you have to spend, you could go for exhaust and airfilters maybe even cams. or you could go for turbo conversion if the money is widly spread.

Or drop an S lump in and don't register it  although it's at your own risk 
Or drop a cammed vtr engine in, that would improve nicely on the BHP and it won't be blatantly obvious when you lift the bonnet like it would be with the vts

or just forget about all the silly turbocharging or supercharging ideas you have and drive your nice economical 1.4 around for 2 years and save for a R or an S and dont run the risk of modding it and the insurance companies pulling down your kecks for not declairing mods when you crash..

You can't insure a 1.6, and you can't insure mods on a 1.4. Apparently
wait until your insurance rapes you for the next years to come after your first crash. Then you will know about money issues.

Its people who crash either without insurance or without valid insurance that causes insurance prices to be high for everyone else.

the 1.4 is pretty nippy as it is just give it a good service and it'll respond to that quite well. besideds once you have a few years ncd then you can get a vts or something even faster if you want.

Wouldnt bother trying to get more bhp, strip it, and spend your cash on handling and brakes, down the road you can always upgrade to a vts engine when insurance is more friendly.

I thought the largest percentage of insurance was due to all the wingers that claim accident injury
