Don't do it! Enjoy as is and buy a sport when funds are availible.
Or sell it and buy a cheap sport now! Yours must be worth 2k plus and a decent cup can be had for under £1500.. put the profit towards insurance. .

Welcome.

You could turbocharge it, expect to pay over £5k.

Yep- what he said. Either that or replace with something with a turbo already fitted (golf GTI, TDI, Subaru etc) as this will be easier to upgrade in the future- if engine mods is your thing. 172/182 though is best bang for buck- you can't go quicker for less

Sports are cheap enough these days and well worth the money. U dont just buy a car when u buy a sport but a reputation that comes with it. Well known for being a fast little belter absolutely love my 182 worth high insurance and 30mpg.. coming from a diesel lol

Don't bother mate.

No dont bother, I picked up my 182 for under 2k and its only £250 a year to insure.

At the moment I wont get a new car, cant, but my car is already over 90 000 km so its high on milage... I was thinking either turbo or pipes and chip?

So you're a poor student, but you have £5k to turbo your car..?

Just sell it and buy a faster car. You could buy an impreza amd a clio AND insure them for less than what it'll cost you to turbo your car.
