Apparently to get decent ish power you have to throw money at it, like the X16XE, so most put in a Z20LET as it works out cheaper.

My plans for when I have 1 year NCB is a black 1.4 SRi Good insurance and it'll be better than my 1.0.
I thought a bit about the 1.2 SXi but at the end of the day, it's still a 1.2, even if you get better mpg and about the same speeds. I'd feel more comfortable giving the 1.4 some welly 
Hopefully I'll be able to get a pre-March '01 one, which will miss the new tax bands  There's one at a local garage that is perfect and ticks all the boxes, but I don't want it for another 9 months yet so I don't think they'll hold it for me

they arent the same speed at all, its basicly the same differece as a sport and a 1.2 16v b. mine used to leave sxis for dead, even kept up with a 1.6 sport till about 65 then he pulled

there was a special edition sxi+ 1.8 with full or half leather and exclisiv alloys

No, don't think it was a dealer special. They just phased the 1.8 SRi out, and introduced the 1.8 SXi+. They do seem very rare, especially on the 2nd hand market however I would presume most are still under 3 years old = finance issues.
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?model=1143 : indicates possibly not a dealer special.

Cheers mate, that's cool knowing about the sport as well 9 months just takes so long to come around, plus I need to save the money
That pic of the red one looks quite nice, but both our other cars are red so it would look too weird.

Looking very good, mate
I really like those grilles, is it very hard to fit one to a pre-facelift? On the pre one that I looked at, the grille is part of the bumper
