If it's standard and in good nick you should get a reasonable amount for it, then get an S2.
Cos to be honest you'll have to chuck a bit of wedge at it to see any real performance gains.

Strip it out of all it's interior and fit some light weight seats. Fit some big f@ck off brakes and razz the tits out of it
