#Ey papa :
Is it a 1.6 Liter turbo in it? Cuz you could keep that engine and add few perfomance parts on it. An Hot Hatch doesn't need 500 bhp to be fun to drive.
Just add an ECU, An Intake, a new Intercooler, Downpipes, Exhaust System, New Suspension, Wheels and you will be fine.
It's an I4 of sorts. It's got a turbo on it and it's pushing something like 350 hp I think already, so it's quite powerful. With a few parts it'd be pulling like a train. Might just go to the garage and work on that in a bit.
