XSi ftw, sell all your belongings to pay the insurance  ! its worth it there's a pretty noticable difference in them imo!

1.4 16v sport ET3 is a vvt with 88bhp.
my mpg average is between 47.9mpg (eco driving) 44mpg normal and 20mpg flat out 
insurance is ok and it has a good kick. but want a bit more punch from mine. hence the idea to exhaust system and cams etc.
