if u can afford it, buy a car that has a bigger engine. youll get more equipment as well like elec windows, cent locking, alloys etc.....

alrite,
i thot u just went for a bog standard 1.0! sorry
i would personally go for a 1.4 16v engine, 100bhp 0-60mph in 10.5secs.
i dont c the point going for a 1.4 8v, nice engine but if youre after power and on a lowish budget, go for the 16v

How much would you say it would cos for a 1.4 16v and would that fit straight into my engine base thing.

Youll need the engine, ecu, loom (from engine to interior fuse box), driveshaft, gearbox, hubs and brakes, and fuel pump.
