id say get a 1.6 16v as getting a 1.4 would be a waste of money. The 1.6 will be good for a bit of tuning in the future

Well the problem being you will pay more on insurance for an engine conversion than you will for a car with the engine you want in it already.

Plus you will struggle just to find an insurance company that will cover engine conversions, I dont know of any under 19.

in 'normal' cars yes, but coz its been modified, insurance companies take a dim view of this, thats why they've put the age up.
