I totally agree, the basic spec is what you want to stick with for the first year, as once you get one years no claims behind you the price will drop, and many insurance companies won't touch you at your age with modifications.

a 1.2 was more than enough for me for my first years driving

If you were after power exhausts (cat back) and filters and remaps of the ecu can get you small gains but most people on here (at least when they had Si's) would simply take the engine out and put in a 2.0 zetec which is an easy conversion that gets you 40bhp

My conversion with bigger brakes cost about £250 with fresh parts and me and a friend doing the work, but as said your best bet is to stick with standard performance wise for now though IMO

Strip the interior, that will make you go faster.

Other than that keep it standard. Them engines are pathetic to tune.
