dont bother droping it unless your goinig for springs and dampers, springs will ruin the ride and your back! 1.2 16v lump got some potential but dont expect too much, enjoy the freedom of having your wheels, rack up a years NCD and drop in a 1.6 or 2.0.

Sounds like you\'ve got your plans pretty much sussed!

Get used to the car, have a bit of fun with it and don\'t get too obsessed with trying to make it much faster!
Have a play with a bit of ICE, do the wheels and suspension as planned and tidy up the exterior.

Once you\'ve built up your no claims, move on to another car or a bigger engine

yeah, was planning to get dampers as well.
not really bothered how quick the car will be, not expecting it to run 12\'s cheers for the help.
