Hi,

With pre 2007 models being so cheap, wonder if you would be better looking at buying a newer model eg 2006 than your 2002  and going for a 1.6 SRl which has a more sporty trim and possibly not in need of so much restoration work ?

The 1.6 has a good bit more power than the 1.4

There are the 1.8 models around but expect to pay a lot for engine work as they will probably have been well used and cost a lot insurance wise.

As for affordable, that depends on your budget but unless its a full scale resto project then likely you will never recoupe your outlay should you sell it.

Don't forget your insurance company needs advising of your mods from the factory spec or you could find they will not  cover you should anything happen or look for specialist insurers who deal with modded cars like Ardian Flux.
