try and look for the 1.6 16v RSi! Is a great little car, probably best spec and Giles on here will be selling one soon.
Mods wise I would: 172 or cup spoiler, lower on DECENT suspension (eibach sportlines are my personal choice), either ph1 172 alloys (OZ F1s) or 182 alloys in anthracite. ph1 172 front end (wider wings and bumper), 172 side skirts, ph2 172 rear bumper. Colour coding. and exhaust to taste

The RSi comes better equipped (Half leather, alloy bonnet and cable throttle as a pose to fly by wire) but standard for standard I think the ph2 looks better and has the better dash. The Dynamique has thicker ARB and stiffer suspension standard too, something I'm not sure about on the RSi, I'm sure Giles will clear it up though.

I stand corrected!
Plenty there within budget.

If you look hard enough you should be able to find one with climate/electric sunroof etc, like I wish I did oh well been and gone now.
That was my old one (pic ***** lol).
If you've got any questions then fire away, I took mine to pieces several times.

0-60 is booked for 9.3. IG10 for the RSi, IG8 for the Ph2 Dynamique(+).
RB 182
im pretty sure he is selling it. Been in it quite a few times, its a mint car and anyone who knows giles will tell you how well looked after his car is.
PM him and see what he says

Save another 500-1000K and youll be able to get a good one, if you want the best place to look for the 1.6's go on autotrader and sign up, avance the search criteria to 1.6 dynamique or somehitng.
best model is the dynamique (for your age i guess).
I wouldnt mod it a lot, all id do to it is get some springs, perhaps a pannel filter and maybe a decat and/or catback exhaust. if you can afford it then get a superchip or a remap if they exst for the 1.4/1.6.
Im in the same position, got a car which may sell for £2500 right now, £1000 in the bank and want to get another grand to go with it.
Engine mods are POINTLESS on a 1.6 unless you go all out and that costs THOUSANDS! Get an exhaust if you want the sound, decat does make it more free reving but I wouldnt risk running a decat! Remap is pointless unless you need it for the expensive engine mods. Styling and handling mods I would do though. Then if i had the cash all out high reving wild cams custom intakes etc.

True
Buy a 1.6 though. That way your not getting raped on tax too.

Lol! Don't tempt fate!
The Dynamique (D) is a tax band lower than the RSi (E), prob save about £25 a year.
I had an RSi and loved it to bits but engine wise theres not much if anything to choose between all the 1.6 16v models.
