Just try some insurance quotes to see what you can afford, look on parkers for ideas of whats quick and whats not. I only found out my car existed because of parkers! (never heard of a 1.6 sport ibiza before)

You'll spend a ridiculous amount on insurance on a 172 VTR, tune the fecker, strip it...Fun and cheap insurance.

Thanks Fadly...I think I've had a VTR, RR'd at 113bhp. Not much, but stripped out it was a hell of a lot of fun, and just as quick as a GTi in a straight line upto silly speeds.

On Saxo Sports Club a VTR with no rear seats, a decat and full exhaust system and a Ram inductionkit ran a 15.8. Sports with even a Mantzel strunggle to get into the 15's tbh
