1.6's usually go pretty well, especially if looked after, they arn't far off 1.9's to be honest!
They dont need huge power to be fun down the lanes!
My mate wont a few rally's in his with the 1.6 in it, bog standard one too!
He's now got a 150 bhp 1.9 though

Hope it all turns out right for you mate!
they are good fun... HOWEVER! it will become very obvious very quickly that it is a
20 odd year old car when you drive it!
ALL i would say is... replace all suspension bushes (very easy)
engine mounts and the gear linkages (can be done for like £250 i reckon)
because they almost certainly wont have been done.
and it wil be a GREAT car.you will enjoy it WAY more for spending that little bit extra on getting them bits done i promise!.
not quick at all. just nippy.
