exhaust, weber carb with bigger jets, 8v gti cam other than that you get into the realms of rebores etc and then you might as well get a different engine or a gti or something. lighten it as much as possible as well and uprate your suspension and you will have a fun little car

I got a proven 106 bhp out of the old 1.6 driver by using a kent fast road cam, advancing the ignition, taking the air filter off and making few jet mods. Oh and good regular servicing never goes a miss.

Would that be the same for a 1.8 Driver?

why not buy a gti 8v. surely the insurance with the mods will bring it up to around the same as a gti

Because I've already spent quite a bit of cash getting this one mechanically sorted

yes you can also make the 1.6 a 1.8 by changing the crank/pistons to 1.8 items cos they have the same block
