there isnt any power difference, but the gti has more kit, half leather, 15 inch alloys, a bodykit and also handles better. But technically, the engines are the same.

engine isnt everythiong, the gti is a much better car than a LX

and there are simple mods for 1.8 zetecs taken from the 2.0 zetec, or just put a 2.0 in, simple conversion

the gti is the same running gear, as said it has the half leather, 5 spokes & bodykit, the gti is a higher insurance group so check that.
