Sweet, get a hks super drager exhaust and blitz mushroom style induction kit, then wait till the vtec kicks in!!
Mate has vtec controller can have it kick in as low as 3,500 rpm!

They go for around the £4000 mark. Obviously more dependant on mileage.
Mine has now got 57k on the clock and serviced at Honda every 5k
Drives really well, handles great. If you drive it normally without booting it it averages 35 mpg at least
Compared to my old Corsa 1.4 16V Sport, it beats it hands down

Down side is - you'll get people who have no clue what it is - going why did you buy that old piece of junk with those seats 
At this point slap them.

Interior is actually very nice.
Not too many people know what is it round here as they're nowhere near as common as saxos/clios.
Has some fool in a new Citroen C2 VTS get up behind me, he dissapeared in my rear view mirror

type r interior will fit as well, mate has one in his. Vtec controller, induction kit and exhaust is a must, makes a huge diff.
They are very thirsty on oil as well, check that regularly.

brad, tell ur mate he will probably see a big decrease in power by juts adding a vtec controller and lowing the vtec kick in, its a waste of time unlkess internal mods are done on the engine, hence wy honda set it at where it is.
alex car looks mint, get osme rotas and some coilovers and it b luvly
