Avoid UK 1.6 later than 1993 as they are lower powered with only 90bhp.
Compared to a 1.6 an imported 1.8 has bigger brakes, torsen LSD and depending on the model a lighter flywheel and 4.3:1 final drive (for faster acceleration).
If you plan to boost it (turbo, supercharger) then the 1.6 diff won't last long and you'll end upgrading it to 1.8 spec.
