Now im working full time i dont mind spending a bit more and i want somthing faster, I want to be able to eat VTR's and VTS's as there is loads of them around my way,
I love my car, really i do, but im at the point now where im willing to get rid of it all just for a faster car....
Should i buy a 1.8 SRi and swap all my bits over?
Go for Clio sport or a Civic Sport,
My dad just bought a Honda Jazz for my mum on the weekend, and the salesman knew i liked the Type R and S so he said i can take them both out this weekend for a run,
Im a little worried that im going to like them to much and buy one 
What should i do :/
Im coming up 19 so insurance is still quite expensive, but Nismo has a RX7 so why cant i have something a little faster!!
Do what you want pete, if you really want to race saxos or whatever you have set your heart on then do it, if the money is there and you can cope, do it.
Personally I would keep a piddly engine untill your older and wiser, but thats me. If you really cant wait, then do it.

painz, i was after a civic sport /type s 2004 model (the one that looks exactly like a type R but wit the 1.6)
Took it out a test drive and then had it for the weekend...didnt like it at all. It fell big and slow for a 1.6.
Ended up getting a MGzr after a test in it. handled betrte than the civic and was a lot nippier and was only a 1.4 with 103/104 bhp( think the civic was bout the same as that)
